Chinspired by Yella’s poll of WW2 battles.
Saving Private Ryan opening sequence at Normandy… Emotional, violent and humbling to ordinary civilian Gen X’ers like myself.
Titanic sinking in the James Cameron film… Even though it’s a corny love story, this part is horrendous and I can only imagine the terror.
1917… essentially the entire film… even though it’s chinspired by real events and not an actual true story we still got the point on how awful this shit would have been.
I want to throw out the plane wreck in the Tom Hanks film Castaway was pretty frightening in the movie theatre when I saw it. Yes, not a true story.

The Money Pit.
If you were to ever visit my house, you'd understand.
our house when we bought it was sort of the same way so I understand
Loose Change
.
All Quiet on the Western Front was brutal; no idea how realistic.
The Pacific captured the stories from the books on which it was based rather well. Same with Band of Brothers.
War movies obviously take the crown here.
Second tier I think is all the serial killer shit from decades ago.
Zodiac comes to mind. All Good Things, etc. definitely forgetting some.
What’s the movie about the hiker who has to cut off his own arm? It gives me chills just thinking about that and I’ve never seen it.
27 hours or something like that… I suppose I could google it
I coulda done the same but playing the guessing game is much more fun.
yoko ruins everything she’s touches.
