I can think of a lot of films that I've read summaries, and know I'd regret seeing (The Coffee Table, In a Glass Cage, Last House on Dead End Street) In terms of things that I have seen, a few years ago I saw The Girl Next Door, which is adapted from a novel by Jack Ketchum, which was based on the murder of Sylvia Likens. I don't really regret watching it, and I wouldn't call it a bad film (though you can tell it didn't have a huge budget, and I think it was direct-to-video production), but it's not something I'd recommend lightly, because it gets very uncomfortable, and very brutal. There's some other films I could name, but I think it would start verging out of 'films you'll regret watching' and into 'films that get very graphic, disturbing, brutal, etc.' Beastie posted:I regret watching Black Swan. I finally got around to watching it last month and had I not watched it with my girlfriend I would have turned it off. Black Swan is interesting because there's a couple scenes in it that are lifted from Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue (a really good film, though it also gets rough at points). Supposedly, the reason why is because Aronofsky had bought the rights to produce a live-action adaptation of Perfect Blue, but that wasn't actually true (an old blog post by Satoshi Kon where he met with Arnofsky) THE BAR posted:Low hanging fruit, but the Warcraft movie was too detailed for newcomers to understand what was going on, and had its details so wrong it pissed off anyone who was a fan of the original two games. I don't know what's more bizarre about that film: the fact that it was directed by Duncan Jones (the son of David Bowie) or that they got Glenn Close for a short, uncredited role.
