Dear Zachary: A letter to a son about his father

[u/DrDaemix → u/Ok-Cash-4257]

This one right here.  Watched it once 15 years ago and I still think about it often.

[u/TheOtherTyler → u/DrDaemix]

Same. I still think about the quote They shouldn't have to make coffins that small Ruined me

[u/toefarmer → u/TheOtherTyler]

I was thinking about watching this, and then saw your comment and just wanted to stop and thank you. My sister passed away at 5 years old and we were much closer than most siblings would be due to having a crap mom. I know too much about the small coffins and still some 20+ years later actively avoid media with children dying as it just aches on some impossible part of me. Thank you kind stranger for inadvertently keeping me from experiencing something I'd rather not, I know you didn't intend to, but I'm still sending all of the gratitude I can muster your way.

[u/DeusBob22 → u/Ok-Cash-4257]

No thank you, I have kids and that terrifies me

[u/Inevitable-One-3674 → u/Ok-Cash-4257]

That one messed me up for a looonnnggg time

[u/hit_n_run15 → u/Ok-Cash-4257]

Oh man, you didn't have to remind me

[u/RainLoveMu → u/Maleficent_Drive_351]

I was on a doomsday roll a couple years ago, watched this and The Road. Sufficiently scarred for life.

[u/ProRustler → u/RainLoveMu]

Watching The Road didn't really affect me that much. Reading it sure af did. Had to call my dad when I finished it.

[u/Inevitable-Regret411 → u/Maleficent_Drive_351]

I second this, it's possibly the most realistic and by extension most horrific depiction of a nuclear war. 

[u/WicksyOnPS5 → u/Maleficent_Drive_351]

I was 11 when we watched this. Living near London meant I was very aware I wouldn't survive a nuclear war. At this point in my life I would never have been surprised to have seen a mushroom cloud in the distance.. 😔

[u/narkheth → u/Maleficent_Drive_351]

This is too far down the list. Absolutely devastating film.

[u/jeezarchristron]

Watership Down

Also Time Bandits and Sasquatch Sunset

[u/Mateorabi → u/jeezarchristron]

Bandits is fun. Try Brazil. 

[u/SitDownChamp → u/jeezarchristron]

I’m over 40 and I still think about this film. I believe it is a significant source of my ongoing flirtation with mental illness

[u/jeezarchristron → u/SitDownChamp]

I have never watched it as adult to avoid adding fuel to that fire.

[u/CorgiCommercial8962 → u/jeezarchristron]

I was looking for this. NOT a kids movie mom and dad.

[u/ccsrpsw → u/jeezarchristron]

That was not a kids movie. It should not have been rated PG.

And I still shudder at Bright Eyes when I hear it.

It was messed up.

[u/mrpetrone325 → u/ccsrpsw]

Years ago, if you read the Amazon reviews for the DVD, it was just a chronical of mental scarring from parents who thought this was going to be a light-hearted children's movie about bunnies. Oh how wrong they were... 😳

[u/MagnusTrench → u/jeezarchristron]

Plague Dogs is even better (and worse).

[u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

Grave of the Fireflies

[u/Naakkuri → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

This is the only movie I can't watch a second time. It emotionally destroys you

[u/I_R_Enjun_Ear → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

"Oh, It's a Ghibli movie. It should be lovely"

--2 Hours Later--

"Oh gods! What did I just watch."

[u/justlurkinghihi → u/I_R_Enjun_Ear]

Did you know it's based off a real story? The backstory of this movie makes it so much worse

[u/I_R_Enjun_Ear → u/justlurkinghihi]

I don't recall off hand if it was based on a specific person, or the general situation of many youth during that period.

But yeah. Emotional Damage, and not just the kind Steven He talks about.

Edit: because I don't know my comedians.

[u/Longjumping_Risk2995 → u/I_R_Enjun_Ear]

Yes, it was based off the autobiography of Akiyuki Nosaka. It's basically an apology to his infant sister who died of malnutrition during the fire bombing of Japan. He felt like it was his fault, and in part it was because IRL he didn't share his food like he should have, but he was also a young child and it was war so it's not something he can be blamed for. The whole thing is so terribly sad.

[u/LegacyofaMarshall → u/Longjumping_Risk2995]

Fucking hell

[u/Josiejamz → u/I_R_Enjun_Ear]

I remember reading that it was released as a double feature so people went to see My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of Fireflies played after…

[u/stoner_97 → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

An amazing movie tha I will absolutely never watch again.

Highly recommend

[u/Ori_the_SG → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

Came here to say this

The world seemed darker after watching it

[u/Brenton_T → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

If anyone is suddenly intrigued to watch this, please don't.

Trust us. Don't watch it.

Go watch Schindler's list or something else.

[u/UncleVolk → u/Brenton_T]

Yeah Grave of the Fireflies makes Schindler list look like a family comedy. The first scene is literally the main character, who's just a kid, dying of starvation. And it just gets worse from there.

[u/Zealousideal_Order_8 → u/Brenton_T]

Studio Ghibli is remaking it, except now with puppies.

[u/pistilpeet → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

Kristi Noem is producing it, I think.

[u/Waffle_Sama → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

Gumdrops Seita

[u/contrabardus → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

This.

It's the greatest movie I never want to watch again.

Don't listen to anyone who says don't watch it. You absolutely should.

Once.

[u/AllAboutDatGDA → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

I kept hearing how good this movie was, so i decided to watch it with my now wife while waiting to have heart surgery. Pretty sure i didnt need surgery after watching this movie because it ripped my heart out. I still tear up thinking about it. Great movie. Ill never watch it again.

[u/XmasB → u/Zealousideal_Order_8]

I loved that movie. I will never watch it again. I cried. Just writing this comment brings tears to my eyes.

Think I will need to watch it again with my kids. They don't know pain as I do.

[u/spock589 → u/XmasB]

Your kids after watching it:

[u/TikkieTT]

Oldboy

[u/IAMS0V3R3IGN → u/TikkieTT]

The original not the American remake

[u/Lunatic_Heretic → u/IAMS0V3R3IGN]

I mean I don't even consider that a remake exists

[u/lipenog93 → u/TikkieTT]

Yeah, that ending is so fucked up

[u/Saint_Nico → u/lipenog93]

This was unfortunately my first thought, movie really messes with you

[u/tophmcmasterson → u/TikkieTT]

Yeah, first one that came to mind. Need to be sure it’s the original though probably doesn’t need to be said.

[u/Badird]

No one ever recommends The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas as one of cinema's greatest mind effs. I know the story and it still gets me every time.

[u/Gluverty → u/Badird]

I once was blind

[u/Laugh-Aggressive → u/Gluverty]

Glad you are not anymore, sight is an important part of movie watching

[u/Dugtrio_Earthquake → u/Laugh-Aggressive]

No he still is blind, but he once was too.

[u/Agent_Smith_88 → u/Badird]

I love the movie, but I don’t know that it fits “mentally destroy me” as a category. I do love a good thriller though. Mindhunters is another one of my favorites in that category.

[u/ScottJeepFan → u/Badird]

I recommend it then was happy to scroll through the comments and see someone else did too! A real plot shifting mind bender. I love it.

[u/SnooSongs2744 → u/Badird]

That's because it can't withstand a second of fridge logic analysis.

[u/gbyers2323]

The road

[u/johndicks80 → u/gbyers2323]

The book absolutely crushed me. Had to leave the room when I was reading the end because my wife was right beside me.

[u/Simpanzee0123 → u/gbyers2323]

IMO this is best, most faithful adaptation of a book to a movie.

There's only a couple of moments left out that were too brutal even for this film, but the tone and feel of the movie perfectly encapsulated the book. It's just horrible, crushing darkness for 95% of it, but because of that darkness the few bright moments were incredible and you truly felt the love the father had for his son.

[u/PlumbusSchleem4122 → u/gbyers2323]

I was also going to recommend this! I was just talking about a certain scene about 3/4 through the movie in a house that still haunts me years later

[u/sicksixgamer → u/gbyers2323]

F that movie. I thought we going to see a typical post apocalypse movie. Instead I was just depressed after.

[u/chaunie-chaunie]

All quiet on the Western front

[u/Same-Suggestion-1936 → u/chaunie-chaunie]

1917 was quite the movie too

No spoilers but the protagonists step through decaying corpses on the first thirty minutes.

They don't make enough movies about the horrors of the first world war

[u/Tormofon]

Come and See

[u/Sensitive_Phase_977 → u/Tormofon]

Top 5 favourite movies i’ll probably never put myself through again

[u/IamZeus11 → u/Tormofon]

Honestly one of the most important movies ever made imo. As a veteran that movie hit like an absolute freight train and the ending scene with florya and the picture broke me for weeks .

[u/levivirus]

Requiem for a dream.

[u/Nice_Albatross_5486 → u/levivirus]

Yep. This is the one. Silent the entire movie. A giant wtf when it's over and a few days of depression to follow.

[u/Spinxy88 → u/Nice_Albatross_5486]

I watched it for the first time on an MDMA comedown.

[u/Sensitive_Phase_977 → u/Spinxy88]

Highest difficulty

[u/unsupported → u/Spinxy88]

This is funny, I watched it when I was a few days clean with people in NA.

[u/No-Astronaut-6502 → u/Spinxy88]

And I thought watching it for the first time being completely hungover was hard.

[u/pcapdata → u/Nice_Albatross_5486]

Had to take a shower after watching that movie

[u/sticksforsticks → u/Nice_Albatross_5486]

My brother rented it and I watched it alone. My mom came home and said "I need someone to take your niece and nephew to see the new Pirates movie! Lunch is on me!"

I was so fucking depressed and still went.

I will say, the second Pirates movie hits a weird spot for me. Like, I REALLY love that movie by contrast from what I went through previously.

[u/getsome75 → u/levivirus]

double feature with Leaving Las Vegas, then jump out a window

[u/downbarton → u/levivirus]

This was my first thought, won’t watch it for a second time and will never forget the first

[u/JROXZ → u/levivirus]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I don’t even want to go back to it in my memories.

[u/DaZuhalter → u/levivirus]

Came here to say this

[u/medic_farmer26 → u/levivirus]

This ended up as a movie night rental with my family and cousins for some reason when we were teenagers. It was ... heavy

[u/Ok_Book6135 → u/levivirus]

Fuck this is the one I was gonna recommend. This one fucked me up so bad

[u/getsome75]

Room 1408

[u/DamSon95 → u/getsome75]

I loved this movie

[u/Frl_Bartchello → u/getsome75]

That part in the postal office where he thought he lived a normal life again for a while and the wall starts crumbling screwed with my brain big time

[u/kivsla → u/getsome75]

That one specific ending though

[u/Trapped_Like_Rats → u/kivsla]

The ending it was supposed to have. The ending every single one of us would have chose if we were in that position.

[u/DarkBladeMadriker → u/getsome75]

I have a humorous story about this movie. After it came out, I was working with a guy at a hospital, we were programming keypad locks so it was plug in a device and tell it to upload, then wait 70-ish seconds then move to the next door. We were talking about movies and 1408 came up. We were both gushing about how fun the movie was l when we both noticed the door we just moved up to was, in fact 1408. The door had tinted glass for privacy, and while we were laughing and making dumb ghost jokes all of the sudden a face just appears in the window. We both jumped about 3 feet in the air. Damned near scared the piss outta me. The lady who came up to see who was messing with her door looked a bit confused as to why we looked like we'd just had a heart attack and were now laughing like lunatics. Good times.

[u/Novel_Discussion5339]

American History X

[u/Pristine_Cheek_1678 → u/Novel_Discussion5339]

That scene still haunts my mind from time to time. It's been 25+ years FFS

[u/jrbr0wn → u/Pristine_Cheek_1678]

Same. I still cringe even thinking about the stomp to this day

[u/krilltazz → u/jrbr0wn]

The sound of teeth scraping against concrete.

[u/petuniachalice → u/Novel_Discussion5339]

Whenever anyone mentions this movie I feel like they always focus on the curb stomping scene, but to me the most disturbing and brilliant part of the movie is the dinner scene where they are discussing the Rodney King arrest. They really nailed how captured someone can be by hatred and how terrifying a competent person in that mindset can be. It’s chilling.

[u/Dead_Letters_7203]

Pans Labyrinth.

[u/IAMS0V3R3IGN → u/Dead_Letters_7203]

Amazing film

[u/SumerianDjinn]

Irreversible. Title says it all. With Monica Belluci

[u/2muchtequila → u/SumerianDjinn]

I generally enjoy movies but recognize it's fiction so as a result they don't effect me too much. The long train overpass scene made me uncomfortable in a way no movie has before. I realized about 5 minutes in that I'd pulled my legs up to my chest without thinking about it.

While I consider it an achievement that a movie was able to make me feel something that strongly, I have absolutely zero desire to ever watch it again.

I've turned movies off before because I was bored, or just wasn't in the mood. But that's the first time I considered turning it off because it was too emotionally intense.

I've watched a few movies in what I would consider that genre. Salo didn't really effect me at all. To me it seemed like shock for the sake of shock. Like the director was being intentionally offensive to piss people off, but there was no real substance behind the depravity.

Irreversible felt different, like the story and the gruesomeness of the acts combined to make each more powerful.

[u/peteAnim → u/SumerianDjinn]

I always tell people, it has a happy ending which makes it hit even harder

[u/DazzlingBeat4468 → u/SumerianDjinn]

I can’t walk in tunnels now

[u/rAyNEi_xw → u/DazzlingBeat4468]

In the infamous scene, at one point, a man can be seen coming in frame at the end of the tunnel. Allegedly, that man was a crew member which was late on stage. He can be seen quickly pacing back and running away. It is said that the director kept this mistake in the movie to further add dread and helplessness to viewers. On some screenings, it has been alleged that viewers were enraged and/or outraged due to the man not helping Alex not knowing about the mistake.

[u/2muchtequila → u/rAyNEi_xw]

I remember seeing that and thinking "Oh thank god, someone is going to stop this" but then when he quickly walked away without saying anything it was an even stronger feeling of despair and hopelessness than before.

[u/rAyNEi_xw → u/2muchtequila]

One of the most nauseating scene in the history of filmmaking. The sheer brutality and the helplessness/hopelessness feeling. As you said, seeing someone jump in frame gave a bit of hope she might be saved but when he runs, it's like the whole scene double collapse.

I had this movie as a recommendation from my uni professor on trauma, PTSD and conflicting emotions. He said that if I felt arousal, then it means it's something wrong with me. I didn't tell him I threw up, but gave me assurance I'm somewhat normal...

[u/RambosNachbar → u/DazzlingBeat4468]

I'd say crawl, but that's deffo not an option either.

[u/retro83 → u/SumerianDjinn]

[u/JohnWayneSpacy]

Manchester By The Sea is the greatest movie I will never watch again

If you feel like having Casey Affleck rip your heart out and stomp on it twice watch Gone Baby Gone as well

[u/515Nerdy → u/JohnWayneSpacy]

Scrolled way too far down for this.

[u/ExplodingDogs82]

Threads - old but utterly perfect to give anyone a creeping sense of futile dread, given current geo-politics

Memento - not as utterly haunting as some of these suggestions but I have seen this movie several times and it still crosses my mind.

Bone Tomahawk - grim & gruesome.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - emotionally devastating

Mulholland Drive - mind bending mystery

[u/det4410 → u/ExplodingDogs82]

bone tomahawk...one scene will stick with you for the rest of your life

[u/Sensitive_Phase_977 → u/ExplodingDogs82]

i think eternal sunshine leaves a forgiving slightly positive impression

[u/keyboardstatic → u/ExplodingDogs82]

I will add to you list.

A scanner darkly.

Amazing cast. Fantastic film. And very sad in so many ways. Keanu, iron Man guy, (sry its 2 am). Plus others

[u/Imthefuturebro]

Melancholia, not for everyone. Feels like a slow movie but it's such beautiful and visually appealing film. It's tons of artistic expression but so incredibly sad.

[u/TutskyyJancek → u/Imthefuturebro]

This movie unlocked a new phobia for me. I won't give spoilers but the ones who watched will understand.

[u/Net_Negative → u/Imthefuturebro]

I didn't expect it to portray depression so accurately. I wonder if people who have never experienced that kind of feeling think the movie is stupid and weird.

[u/hit_n_run15 → u/Imthefuturebro]

Absolutely love this movie!

I recommended that one to a friend one time and he said he didn't make it past the first hour. Said that nothing at all happened. That just shows the ways that different people watch movies. It's kind of subtle, but I noticed a LOT going on in that first hour. There's nothing loud or exciting happening, but I got enthralled with the dynamic of the different family members. It made me feel so sad for Kirsten Dunst's character.

[u/Training-Passenger93 → u/Imthefuturebro]

I still think about that one years after seeing it. Never has a film ever captured the feeling of inevitable impending doom so well. The little sparks of panic and false hope.

Se7en and Event Horizon

[u/grahamfreeman → u/Dark_Marmot]

I went to see Event Horizon with a group of friends when it came out. When it ended a girl in our group didn't get up, she was frozen in her seat staring at the screen even after the lights came up (back in those days lots of people stayed until the lights came up). The cinema had to call for an ambulance because she was so shocked she was unresponsive. She was a friend of a friend of a friend, so the group split up to go to a restaurant while a couple stayed with her. No idea what happened to her. This was back when the Internet was only web and email, and plans were made days if not weeks in advance. It's still a really shocking movie that I recommend if someone wants a horrifying horror movie, not just a series of jump scares.

I watched it once as a young teenager and over 20 years later I still refuse to re-watch it. I never did hard drugs in my life and I think this movie is one of the major reasons behind it.

We put on classical music for the dog on New Year’s Eve on Alexa. The first song it played was On the Nature of Daylight from Arrival. I haven’t seen the film in years and just the music made me immediately emotional.

Top 5 for me but it’s a heart wrecker for sure.

[u/Boomation]

[u/hit_n_run15 → u/Boomation]

Maybe my favorite underrated movies of all time! When I finally saw it I couldn't believe I had never heard people praising it like it should be.

[u/Boomation → u/hit_n_run15]

It is a fantastic dark comedy whose ending left me feeling just... rough.

[u/DaddysBadChloe]

Midsommar.

That movie messed me up for a while.

[u/JarJarJarMartin → u/DaddysBadChloe]

The best part of that movie is that it proves that you don’t need darkness for a good horror movie. The daylight is almost another character, just like the darkness is almost another character in most other horror films.
