Just about all the transformation scenes in "The Thing". But fantastic special effects for the time period.

the scene in poltergeist where the guy peels his own face off.

the needle in the eyeball in halloween ii.

the scene in blackhawk down where a guy goes to pick his buddy up and there's nothing left of him below the stomach except sagging intestines and gore.

The scene in DONNIE DARKO where the guidance counselor expresses her admiration for Dan Quayle. I couldn't stop puking for weeks after that.

The "head on a stick" sequence in WOLF CREEK

It takes a lot to gross me out, and generally it has nothing to do with gore.
But the scene in Audition with the accupunture needles scarred me for life.
If you know what i'm referring to you probably just shuddered and if you don't....well it's a brilliant movie, don't let this stop you from checking it out.

Julia Roberts' southern accent in "Steel Magnolias".

Ah hell, her southern accent in anything.

I thought the wire was worse than the needles taz--the ticket taker actually warned us before we entered the theater...at the Cinema 7 in the East Village! Or that thing in the bag?

You know, there's a scene in ROSEWOOD in which a white woman and her child are watching a lynching and the child turns away; the mother says something like "No, you need to see this."

I think that was also a message to the audience. Even though it's "just a movie" there are some things we need to see to get an idea of the reality of human atrocity, even if it is a dramatic recreation.

In MISERY when whatsherface whacks his legs with the mallet.


Oh my God. ARGH!

The gory moments in Hellboy. Which is why I don't watch gory movies.

yea, that thing in the bag came out of nowhere. I could say more about it, but I really don't want to ruin it for anyone.
It's just so well done in regards to tone and pacing.

I have to third any of those moments from Audition. God, that movie's effective!

Any movie done by Dario Argento. I can usually deal with violence but when he combines it with heavy metal music as in Opera...I could barely sit through it.

the only physical retching I've done in a movie theatre was in the toilet dive scene in TRAINSPOTTING.

The scene in PAN'S LABYRYNTH where the guy gets his face bashed in.

When Jane serves the rats to Blanche in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane."
When the flies attack the priest In "Amityville Horror."
When I saw Jason Vorhees' face in one of the movies...Friday the 13th is up to about part 10, so I can't remember which one.
I agree with the comment about the southern accent that Julia Roberts had in "Steel Magnolias." But, actually, every part that Julia Roberts does grosses me out....
