Wonderful movie, though. > > And if I may add a TV episode, the Futurama one with his dog. _starts to sniffle again_ Since you added a tV episode, I will add one too, and it happens to be titled “That’s not my dog.” It was shown in either the 4th or 5th season of **Six Feet Under**. It was absolutely, nightmarishly horrifying from beginning to end. I was squirming in my seat. Poor David. He was carjacked by a guy who beat him, forced him to do some crack, doused him with gasoline and stuck a gun in his mouth. No wonder he was so effed up afterwards. ---

A Clockwork Orange. I teach with Requiem for a Dream so I watch it at least once a year. ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > **Lars and the Real Girl**. Not violent or disgusting like many of the films mentioned, actually very uplifting when considered as a whole. Well worth viewing. But so many of the scenes are so uncomfortable (just psychologically – there is no violence or gore whatsoever) that I just can’t see going through it again. Really? Wow…our responses are as different as night and day. I haven’t seen it again since watching it in the theater, but I empathized with Lars and his inability to bear the touch of other people. Are you talking about: The “death” of Bianca? It had sad bits, but I guess my wife and myself are such deep social misfits that we weren’t all that disturbed by anything in the film. I own the DVD and definitely need to see it again. Interesting factoid: A member of another forum we frequent has a couple of Real Dolls and we have communicated with him about his relationship with them long before _Lars and the Real Girl_ was released. ---

> [@Stephe96](#): > > I don’t think this ever happens in this movie. Yes it does: At the end of the movie, when they’re on the boat. DeNiro orders the mom and the girl to take off their clothes and get down on their knees. Maybe I overstated the case when I said “little girl,” as I think Juliette Lewis was 18 or 19 at the time, and the character was supposed to be about 15, but my point still stands. ---

> [@Lakai](#): > > There is also one episode of **The Shield** that I can never watch again. Everyone one who saw it probably knows what I’m talking about. Ok, if its not within the last 6 episodes of the final season, which I’ve not watched yet, then I don’t. There are disturbing episodes of the Shield, and indeed a shivering horrible moment or two I remember, but one particular episode? Any clue/spoiler. Or episode name? ---

Mines have been named: Requiem for a dream Leaving Las Vegas Schindlers List I can’t watch the first 20 minutes of Bad Boy Bubby for a couple of reasons (mainly the animal cruelty, but the ‘sex’ too)… I think I caught it from past that point and actually quite enjoyed it. ---

Maybe I overstated the case when I said “little girl,” as I think Juliette Lewis was 18 or 19 at the time, and the character was supposed to be about 15, but my point still stands. You are correct. I was thinking of the even creepier (to me) scene with DeNiro and the girl in the school auditorium. I’d forgotten about the ending. ---
