Some movies just stay with you, and not in an altogether pleasant way. Brilliantly made, but disturbing. I'll start the list with:

Schindler's List: Stunning movie, but emotionally draining.
Saving Private Ryan: I don't think I could watch the D Day scene again.
Apocolypse Now: A truly disturbing movie.
The Godfather: The horse head scene freaked me out.

I'll go with the movie "Glory" with Matthew Broderick. Great, great film.

However, towards the last of the movie is a scene where the Broderick character (playing a colonel) is readying his troops to charge the fort. They are on the beach, and the colonel looks out at the waves, the birds flying, the clouds, realizing that he has literally reached his last moments on earth, since he knows he is leading his men on a suicide mission. He then walks through his cheering regiment, to take his place at the very head of the charge. A very affecting scene. So much so, that I have never watched the movie again.

"The Cowboys" with John Wayne. You can only watch The Duke get murdered once.

Passion of the Christ and Platoon. I went through entire boxes of Kleenex watching them and they were emotionally draining for me.

Now that I think about it, I can't watch Taken again. I had the same anxiety and panic attacks and having a daughter myself just make the feelings even more overwhelming.

I've watched these movies more than once. Quite enjoyed each viewing. I think I have Fargo on DVD.

Irreversible - without a doubt. Actually stopped watching it the first time around until I then read a review and gave it another go. Disturbing!
