My Most Unwatchable List
Speaking of repulsive films:
Psychology suggests that pleasure derived from feelings of disgust may exemplify what is called “benign masochism” – the tendency to seek out apparently “negative” experiences for the purpose of enjoying “controlled risks”, such as riding rollercoasters, eating spicy food, watching repulsive films.
Well, not only I'm not predisposed to be attracted to disgusting things, but I also usually & instinctively reject the psychological mechanism that would allow my being able to enjoy them.

- DirectorPeter GreenawayStarsRichard BohringerMichael GambonHelen MirrenAt Le Hollandais gourmet restaurant, every night is filled with opulence, decadence and gluttony. But when the cook, a thief, his wife and her lover all come together, they unleash a shocking torrent of sex, food, murder and revenge.Except for Michael Nyman’s wonderful soundtrack, just piles of food sitting like pseudo-artistic natures mortes (still lives)
- DirectorNagisa ÔshimaStarsTatsuya FujiEiko MatsudaAoi NakajimaA passionate telling of the story of Sada Abe, a woman whose affair with her master led to an obsessive and ultimately destructive sexual relationship.Love is supposed to adorn life. Acts like oral sex or inserting a dildo or an egg(!) into a vagina are not arisen from a healthy mind. They are just sadistic and non-appropriate for drama.
- DirectorSam MendesStarsKevin SpaceyAnnette BeningThora BirchA sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend.A 40+ pervert is fixated upon his daughter's best friend. Ain't this children porn ? Truly a disturbing film. The only remotely normal people are the homos who live next door. The acting is good but the story is a monument to the total meltdown of their (¨American¨) culture.
- DirectorPier Paolo PasoliniStarsPaolo BonacelliGiorgio CataldiUberto Paolo QuintavalleIn World War II Italy, four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental, and sexual torture.It is one of the most disturbing movies ever made. It has scenes where they feast on feces. Pasolini had a whole fetish with feces. Sick, ain't it
- DirectorMarco FerreriStarsMarcello MastroianniMichel PiccoliPhilippe NoiretA group of men go to a villa in the French countryside where they resolve to eat themselves to death.The work of a man arrived at the height of mental alienation . Where's the comedy? but more importantly, where's the plot?
- DirectorJohn WatersStarsDivineDavid LocharyMary Vivian PearceNotorious Baltimore criminal and underground figure Divine goes up against a sleazy married couple who make a passionate attempt to humiliate her and seize her tabloid-given title as "The Filthiest Person Alive".Waters' grotesquerie is decidedly trivial. Like De Sade, Warhol, he features extremes. The nitwit plot of this poorly lensed 16mm picture accounts for one of the most vile, stupid and repulsive films ever made.
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsJohn CleeseTerry GilliamEric IdleThe comedy team takes a look at life in all of its stages in their own uniquely silly way.It ranges from the mildly humorous to the downright absurd and disgusting (An obese man vomiting multiple times and eventually blowing up in a restaurant). But that's what Pythons are infamous for – to stupefy, to bewilder, to disgust, to shock. It's unfortunate I couldn't derive any enjoyable entertainment from it.
- DirectorRichard CurtisStarsHugh GrantMartine McCutcheonLiam NeesonFollows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.There is probably no more wallowingly sentimental, cliched and stereotyped, syrupy film. The epitome of the romantic comedy in every excess. Disgusting and pathetic trash.
- DirectorSrdjan SpasojevicStarsSrdjan 'Zika' TodorovicSergej TrifunovicJelena GavrilovicAn aging porn star agrees to participate in an "art film" in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film.Torture, incest, rape, child rape, a grown man raping a newborn child, beheading (during sex), necrophilia, paedophilia, bloody toothless blow jobs, anal bleeding and a man screwing another man.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsEmily WatsonStellan SkarsgårdKatrin CartlidgeOilman Jan is paralyzed in an accident. His wife, who prayed for his return, feels guilty; even more, when Jan urges her to have sex with another.Lars von Trier is the worst kind of director, the kind that thinks it's his job to incite and provoke his audience, and that movies must be unendurable if they are to say anything that matters. What's most unendurable about this literally sickening movie is the hand-held camera work that not for one minute sits still.
- DirectorBeata GårdelerStarsFatime AzemiJohn RistoEva MelanderA 14-year old girl reports that she has been raped, but is not believed. The entire village turns against her and her family.Sick. Written and produced by psychopaths. Starring a fifteen-year-old psychopath, a serial rapist. Exaltation of sexist impunity.
