I finished A Farewell to Arms a few years back and I'm still hesitant to read anything by Hemingway.

Spoilers Ahead
The Mist started out like a great sci-fi film, but after the religious nut devolved and convinced a majority that this was a wrath of God and "sacrificed" the soldier things got dark for me. However, the worst was the ending where everyone kills themselves and the dad kills his son just seconds before the army arrives to save them is just too much for me. That movie fucked me up for a while.
127 Hours
I won't spoil it, if you know the story/movie, you can probably guess which scene I turned it off during...
I did come back and finish it a few hours later, but it's the first movie/show I've turned off because it was just too much.
My girlfriend couldn't continue watching Mommy when the war started, it just became too intense for her.
I didn't turn it off but that scene in Farha with the baby was brutal when you have one in the room with you
"Shoah." I couldn't make it through all 9 hours.
Them. Too brutal, cannot watch.
Nothing. The most emotionally overwhelming thing I saw was 'Breaking the waves' but I just finished it.
