I actually felt sick while watching that movie.

That entire siege on the house segment (about 12-15 minutes of screentime tops?) is one of the most pants-wettingly terrifying things I've seen in a movie, and despite being grueling, it's also an absolute white-knuckler of a thrill-ride.Dave Ehrlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904614542154717039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-55393131447330880002007-08-03T15:46:00.000-04:002007-08-03T15:46:00.000-04:00I haven't seen American History X exactly for this...I haven't seen <I>American History X</I> exactly for this reason.

I absolutely love <I>American History X</I>, but I almost threw up at that scene the first time, and ever since then, I have to mute the television and look away until it's over.<BR/><BR/>Other scenes that really bothered me:<BR/><BR/>Mr. Blonde with the cop's ear in <I>Reservoir Dogs</I> (I know, I know, the actual act wasn't even on screen!
