It doesn't matter how many times I watch that movie, it still causes my blood pressure to go up every single time!

stephanier.1765 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Not a movie but Dexter stresses me out. There have been times where I've sworn off the show simply because of the stress but somehow it sucks me back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It's an old one but "Wait Until Dark" with Audrey Hepburn always has me tense even though I know how it is going to end. And I always scream at the exact same spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I just finished watching Remember Me for the 2nd time. The first time I watched I thought it was decent laid back movie, sort of overly dramatic, but detached. Then the twist brought into a reality I wasn't expecting. It was on cable and I wanted to see if I'd still have the same reaction. Yup, still the same. Can't decide whether I really like the movie, but life kind of twists us the same way. So I don't know. It's not a movie you want to watch if you want totally detached entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silliness7 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I don't know why. It's supposed to be a comedy. I don't think it's funny. Just ditch the weirdo already. The whole scenario drives me nuts and makes me want to explode. :cursing: My dd is seriously freaked by Apollo 13 ETA: I may be the only person stressed out by a comedy.

The kids are holding on to me for dear life and they already KNOW how it ends. :lol: That one does it for me too. I loved watching it with my kids recently though. It definitely demonstrates the need for problem solving skills (and how having a roll of duct tape can save your life!). There's also an alien movie where they have to swim underwater for an impossibly long time. I hate underwater scenes. I find myself trying to hold my breath.

iona Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I don't know if it is stressful or disturbing, but I felt awful after watching cold mountain, mystic river too. Anything realistic involving brutality towards people, especially children I have a hard time with...what makes it even worse is when there is no hope in the end either. This may be different than what you are getting at though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 A lot of movies stress me out - really, A LOT. :blush: I have to be very careful about what I watch (if I actually want to enjoy myself).

Rhonda in TX Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The latest Batman movie with the Joker. I almost got up and walked out of the theater a couple of times.

meggie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ummm...pretty much all movies, except Julie and Julia. That one didn't even really have a climax or any kind of "trouble". It was just kinda...there. My husband was watching The Prestige on the computer a few weeks ago. While I was getting ready for bed I saw all the drowning scenes and was seriously creeped out. He tried explaining it to me and it makes no sense and he says it's awesome, but I can't bring myself to watch it. People dying really stresses me out. That's why I hate action movies, all those explosions and car crashes and nobody (but me) thinks about the actual lives that are affected. Well, the lives that would be affected if it were a true story and not a movie. Any movie with children suffering stresses me out majorly. I was a mess in Tangled because that witch kidnapped her. Titanic used to make me cry because Leo died, but now I just can't bear the thought of the children dying. We watched The Invisible once (a lame suspense movie), but the only thing that stuck with me was the girl's little brother who was neglected.

The Abyss was seriously scary. I went to see Jurassic Park in the theater, creepy. I worked on the 5th floor of an office complex set in a park like setting. That year it stormed almost everyday.

I was quite sure I'd turn and see a T-Rex staring at me in the window. :lol: Thankfully there were 3 desks between me and the window, they would have been eaten first. Aliens!
