Like it seems like four different movies in one.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Yeah, Up and Toy Story 3 are off limits here unless I need a big cathartic ugly-cry.
Same here. And I would love to watch Up again, because it's brilliant! But I can't handle the opening 20 minutes.
Scenes that scared me as a child: the Wicked Witch of the East's feet curling and vanishing under Dorothy's farmhouse, and the Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And all of Poltergeist, which I saw when I was 10 or so.
And every specifically-engineered cry point in an animated movie will get me. Every time. I know I'm being manipulated, it doesn't matter.

God, yes. I start tearing up in anticipation of those moments. I know they're coming and yet, they get me every time. When did I become a crier?
Actually, I don't know if this counts as trauma, but the entirety of Alice in Wonderland, the animated movie, leaves me deeply unsettled and horrified.
Was Poltergeist where the creepy tree in the backyard tries to eat the kid? I've never seen the movie, but I came across that scene while flipping channels as a child and it terrified me.
Yes, yes it was.
Seriously, not the CLOWN!!!??!!
I didn't see the part with the clown. Just the tree.
IT.
The choking clown doll? Seriously?!??! Nobody else remembers that? I bet Jilli does.
