The movie RUSH.

Formula 1 racing champions Niki Lauda and James Hunt are portrayed in the film as mortal enemies when they were actually friends off the track, more like brothers really. Rivals, yes. Enemies, no.

Well if it's "personal" cringe-inducing moments, that's a whole different thread... mine are infinite.  :bluesad:

That's cool. I didn't strongly dislike the WATCHMEN movie, though I preferred the HBO "sequel".

I will part ways w/ you on V FOR VENDETTA. The book is one of my absolute favorites, graphic or prose. I'd call it just about perfect, and spent 15+ years fantasizing about an adaptation that did it justice. When the Wachowski-produced one was released, I was... underwhelmed to say the least.

But different folks/strokes and so on.

Personal cringe moment.

I was screening a film in a cinema in 1998, we had a reel issue, I stopped the film, apologized to the audience, fixed the issue in less than two minutes, the film was well received and I forgot about it.

I was only told later that the director of that film was in the audience 😳😳😳

BACKROOMS: A frustrated furniture-store owner discovers a seemingly infinite maze of mysterious rooms in the back of his store, and invites his therapist to help explore them. Explore the labyrinths of the subconscious in this ambiguous and terrifying psychological horror. 5/5.

Audience notes: The theater was packed, which surprised me due to the surreal nature of the story, even though I had heard it was doing good business. There were a bunch of teenagers who probably were familiar with 20-year old director Kane Parsons from his YouTube series of the same name. Some parents took two boys to this, I would estimate ages 7-11. The younger one got scared and had to leave. The older one was pretty excited at the end and praised it as "scary and weird."

Also, I don't expect other people to like this as much as I did: it's very much "my thing." But I still think most people will find it scary and enjoyable, unless you demand having everything 100% explained to you.

Sorry, I mis-numbered and corrected it. High and Low should be 47 and the next one is 48.
