[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] What was the most grueling high rated movie you have watched?

[Helmut Hamm]

The most disturbing movie I ever saw must‘ve been ERASERHEAD. I still don‘t 
know why, but I was shifting in my seat all the time wanting to leave the 
cinema but couldn‘t and I did sit through it to the end. To this day, I have 
not watched it again.

The most grueling movie I ever saw was THE ROYAL TANENBAUMS. From the first 
minute, this one did not make a lick of sense to me and after cringing in my 
seat for what felt like eight hours or so I eventually walked out.
