The only ones I haven't seen are kids return, brother (both at my house right now through netflix), getting any, and glory to the filmmaker...

Brother is good though it sometimes seems like a compilation of moments from Sonatine and Hana Bi (you'll recognize some of the cinematography tricks, i.e., a shoot-out in a pitch-black building where the flashes of the guns are like the X-ray effect of lightning on a landscape); and it has dialogue that I can only assume was originally written in Japanese then translated to English and spoken by unquestioning English actors (strange stunted use of L.A. slang).

I'm hoping to get a copy of A Scene By The Sea soon. I remember seeing it on TV ages ago at 2am-ish and thinking it was brilliant (I was in one those edge-of-consciousness zones where a 5-minute still of the sea can seem intensely moving – I hope it doesn’t prove to be boring now).

The only film that has shocked me recently is Ichi The Killer. I saw someone's uncut copy and it wasn't the CGI gore but the undercurrent of rape-fetish, and the moment when someone kicks a prostitute to death... It just seemed so ugly, bad for the soul.

Two childhood memories still disturb me today: a random nightmare scene from a mainstream 80s thriller (can't remember the name) where blood starts seeping from a teddy bear's eye - there's just something about that – and an old Rupert The Bear cartoon where a stark, gnarled tree comes to life and starts running around the countryside.

Actually... the original The Vanishing would probably scare me now. It's power diminished after I saw the lame remake but now I've forgotton about it.

One thing I still can't watch, seriously is the scene from Psycho II where the girl is getting the wig and the knife from under the floor stones and the camera slowly pans up to the mother's head buried in the pile of coal. Probably the most traumatic thing I ever saw in a movie as a child. Psycho II sucked but god that part. Nightmares for life

A film that TERRIFIED me as a child, and genuinely still creeps me out, is Return to Oz. Nearly everything about it is gloomy, ugly, freakish or depressing... but it's such a beautiful film. One of my all-time favorites.

Yeah I watched it a few years ago and it still creeped me out. Maybe more so than when I was a child. Why would that make something like that for kids?? haha.

Wizard of Oz also scared me quite a bit as a lil one, thanks to the witch. Now I simply enjoy it as a goofy, pretty fantasy film.

Return to Oz on the other hand still freaks me out, maybe even more now that I'm an adult and can fully understand it. It's also the superior of the two films (IMO).
