    One that comes to mind for me right away is American History X (the scene where he catches one of the guys after they try to rob from him) -- It still sends chills down my spine when I watch that!

    Another would be The Butterfly Effect that I watched earlier this week (the scene where the kids go into the area where the wrecked cars are and one fella has the fire going) -- I certainly wasn't expecting that one!

    Firmly planted at the top of my list is the 1970, Ken Russell film, "The Devils." Rightly called, "the most scathing indictment of the Catholic Church ever put on film," it portrays (as only Russell can!) the true story of a Roman Catholic priest (Oliver Reed) who is falsely accused by a hunchbacked nun (Vanessa Redgrave) of having possessed her. He is tried, found guilty, has his legs smashed, is dragged through the streets of Loudon, and is burned alive. Sounds pretty horrible doesn't it? It is horrible, but so brilliantly filmed, it remains at the top of my list of all-time favorites too.

    Exorcist hands down. Ever see the specials they show on the making and show the lines at the movies and the people coming out of the middle of the movie? I was there in the middle of it all. It was freaking strange. We came out of the movie{we made it to the end} just like you see those kids on the special.
    Look & Listen

    Exorcist - For obvious reasons

    Platoon - My friends and I all felt like we had just been released from active duty after this. Simply exhausting.

    Kids - Come again? Who's taking care of me in my old age?!?

    Poltergeist - The first PG13 rated movie, and for good reason. Kinda campy now, but the original release scared the beejeezus out of me when I was a kid.

    Shindler's List - We'd all heard of it. We'd all read about it. Now we saw it. I literally cried.
