Entertainment Weekly "dares you to look" at these famous movie scenes...

Yes, EW has compiled a list (more or less in honor of Inglourious Basterds, not that the film is as graphic, but I digress) of 16 hard to watch movie scenes. The full list is here, but this is the quick rundown of the movies that contained these scenes:
A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Marathon Man
American History X
Requiem for a Dream
Syriana
Blade Runner
Reservoir Dogs
SAW
The Hitcher (not the shitty remake)
Misery
Irreversible
The Last King of Scotland
Un Chien Andalou- aka An Andalusian Dog
The Ring
Audition

-Irreversible is by far the hardest for me to watch...how about you?

    Irreversible is the only movie I've ever had to stop watching midway through

    Okay...ummm...why is Syriana on this list...unless it's unwatchable because of George Clooney:)

    I suppose I'd have to pick A Clockwork Orange as the most unwatchable.

    Its a toss up between The Last King of Scotland and American History X. Its been over 10 years since I first saw American History X and I still can't get that image of the "curbing" out of my head...
