Thinking about movies we like to see over and over again, I think a list of movie scenes I (and you) never want to see again would be interesting.
Here's a couple off the top of my head:
1) In Saving Private Ryan during the major battle scene at the end of the movie the American soldier Caparzo (sp?) is stabbed in the heart after an extended hand to hand fight scene with the main German bad guy. That scene is perhaps the only movie scene to ever make me cry and I never want to see it again.
2) The scene in Million Dollar Baby where Hillary Swank falls and breaks her neck on the corner stool. Nuff said right?
Others to come probably.

What are you doing watching that movie?!?!?

Yeah, Bond, that knife in the chest was AWFUL. I believe it was the same soldier that the Americans set free earlier when they ambused the Germans in the field?
Some others...
How about when Edward Norton curbs that kid in American History X. That had me cringing.

Actually, the character who is stabbed is the Jewish soldier, played by Adam Goldberg. Also, his killer was not the "main" German bad guy. That fellow is later shot and killed by Cpl. Upham (Jeremy Davies), who had initially petitioned to save him.
The soldier named Caparzo (Vin Diesel) is killed earlier in the film, after he's shot by a sniper. (You'll recall that it is raining in this scene, and that Caparzo is toting around a little girl who "reminds [him] of [his] niece.")
There are many parts of Naked Lunch that I could have gone without seeing. That movie really messed me up in the head for a while (thank goodness I haven't read the book, as books impact me more than movies). One scene in particular is the "sex" scene where the typewriter morphs and begins "humping"

No, no, Steuss. The book is much different than the movie, and isn't nearly as disturbing/weird (imo---the book is plenty weird, though). Frankly, I am kind of stunned that anyone attempted to make a film of Naked Lunch. It is written in a very strange, almost incoherent style. Personally, I preferred Burroughs's Junkie, which is written in a much more conventional style.

Is it easier to read (i.e. more coherent) than the first half of Faulkner's Sound and the Fury?
I might pick it up (if what you say is true in regards to it being less "disturbing/weird." Books (and movies) that have characters that lose touch with reality in any way can be dangerous for me to read.
