I never saw it, but I wish I would never even have heard of The Human Centipede. Ugh.
I wish I never would have seen The Room. The most boring movie of all time.
My wife and I watched the first and second Centipedes (reviews said the second was better, WTF?!) as we were absolutely bored and couldn't find anything else on Netflix/Amazon Prime during Hurricane Sandy...I feel there should be a special circle of hell for just WATCHING that filth! STAY AWAY FROM IT AT ALL COSTS!

Movie 43 is the ONLY movie I have ever walked out of & was angry that I was duped into paying real money to watch it.
Sophie's Choice is a superb movie - but I wish I had never seen it as it still disturbs me decades later when I think of it.
I agree about Sophie's Choice being a superb movie. I didn't find it half as disturbing as Schindler's List, though. I guess maybe because Streep was so convincing, and they really focused on her one character vs. the thousands of lives depicted in Schindler's List. The little girl in the red coat gets me every time, though.
I innocently and enthusiastically went to see the matinee today of World War Z. Top notch special effects, but then, all movie special effects now are excellent, so that's not an issue. What did bother me, to the extent that I really wish I could go back in time and NOT go to see this one, is that it is relentlessly violent, disturbing and depressing, not to mention that it provides scenes of a possible problematic future.
Of course, technically, you really have to suspend disbelief in this movie with the idea of a virus that converts it's victims in 12 seconds!!! I mean, huh? A complete physical conversion of the victims into handy dog-barking zombies.
But of course, there is a very real threat of a pandemic bacterial or viral spread, of course, by the airlines of the world: some person with a mutated version of a current virus, making it, let's say, spreadable by an airborne particle. Then, we're all in instant and mortal danger. Meaning that by the time the World Health Organization sees what's happening, it's already too late. It'd be out there affecting literally billions of people.
Head for the hills with your supply of Bug-Out food, water and firearms to wait it all out. (Take a radio and a solar charger, btw!). Too bad some producer or story writer couldn't have done the story based on the real possibilites.
Note: Anyone see The Road? Even more depressing, but v. realistic!
Of course, you'd only have to survive a pandemic for 6 - 8 weeks, until the majority of the masses of crazed or infected people have died off, even those without the disease having run our of necessities. Then, you'd want to avoid the ruined cities, the masses of decaying humans, and the now feral and desperate dogs feasting on those delectable remains! Huzzah!
Well, anyhow; I left the movie with a sense of depressed and unpleasant awareness. A few people even left before the end of the movie, presumably out of disgust or of feeling distressed. The rest left immediately when the credits started. I certainly didn't find it a jolly movie (I'm joking!).
Anyhow, that's my two bits worth. Not to mention the $5 Seniors ticket, but the usual $5 mid-sized bucket of popcorn.
Casino - Too much profanity, voilence, and the scene where Joe Pesci and his brother are beaten and buried alive is horrific. Wish I never watched that.
Also, a long time ago, I watched some horror movie, can't remember the name, but a masked psycho killer killed this guy by tying him to a tree trunk and stabbing him with a knife strapped to a trombone or something.....still have nightmares about that one.

World War Z: nope. Too violent and depressing!
