This may not be exactly in line with the topic, but I can watch anything without issue except the various extreme forms of child abuse. Just the thought of it makes me extremely upset and very angry.

I just don't have any tolerance for it even if I know it's fake (on film).

What movies have extreme child abuse? Is that usually a post credits scene?

For TV, Sons of Anarchy had some that come to mind. Gemma getting raped and Tig seeing his daughter burned alive.

That scene where the boats round the corner and start unloading on the bad guys is so awesome. Just roll in and mow those guys down then head out.

Almost any pre modern medicine surgery scene, especially if they are doing it on themselves. Best example I can think of is in Master and Commander.

Interstellar when they go to the water planet and gravity is speeding up time to 7 years every hour.


I think i saw something saying that the ticking noise in the music during this scene represented an hour lost on earth or something like that

The scene in Glory where Matthew Broderick is getting sewed up but in the background you can hear the man begging for them not to cut off his leg.

The climb in Free Solo

Probably not in the spirit of the thread (good thread btw) since it's a doc. But I have never sweated or been that anxious in a theater... and I knew he made it!

Yep.

Gave me palpitations and an anxiety attack - couldn't sleep for hours after.

Also Man on Wire another documentary about the high wire French guy that walked between the twin towers back in the 70s. Great movie. I also knew he made it. Didn't matter I was on pins and needles the entire time. The hollywood version did not bug me half as much.

And no I am not afraid of heights.... I'm afraid of falling from heights. lol. but I just need something solid under my feet. I've gone up the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building no problem.

I've been to several places with suspended bridges. I can handle those ok... but a glass walkway or glass observation point like they do some places that sticks out over a gorge or whatever. Nope. Can't even step onto it. My body completely locks up.

First thing I thought of ... the opening sequence of the Sylvester Stallone film Cliffhanger.



Oh yeah that too.

Pretty much every scene in The Revenant makes me feel like I'm going to freeze.

Just watched Let Him Go, end of the movie when Costner goes back for the boy is the most I've been on the edge of my seat since Better Call Saul ended last season.

Not posting the video but that scene in Saving Private Ryan when Opum doesn't help his friend and he slowly gets stabbed in the neck. That was a stressful scene.

Intentionally Vague Post: Stir of Echoes when Kevin Bacon's character finally sees what happened.

Yeah that's fair. I don't consider my self an anxious guy, but I felt like I was near an anxiety attack for the entire movie.

Juarez in Sicario

This gets my vote. Love this scene. The one in Part 2 isn't bad, but can't match this.

Not a movie, but it occurred to me...

The scene in Homeland where she almost drowns her baby.

I haven't seen that, but your description reminds me of the scene in A Beautiful Mind that could be described similarly. Also very stressful.
