One example I can think of right now -- in Cliffhanger -I was gripping the sofa handles when stallone fails to rescue the girlfriend of one of his friends and she plunges to her death from a 4000 feet high mountain top.
For me, that was tense. I'm scared to death of heights. But I love flying. Weird.
bam! |

Not disturbing, but one of the tensest film moments is the scene in Boogie Nights where Dirk, Reed and Todd are sitting on the couch at the drug dealer's.
*bang*

Damn right, best scene in the whole movie. Trying to rip off a coke dealer already insane on his own merchandise, half naked mute guy running around setting off fire crackers, the big bodyguard dude looking over everything... and Dirk's moment of clarity "hang on... this is kind of nuts".
For me I'll put up Trainspotting's rip off scene where Rents gets up early to ease the cash out of Begbies sleeping hands and sneak out of the room. A simple scene, but add some Underworld doof, doof for thumping heartbeat and it really got me going. |

| How about the scene in RAGING BULL where Deniro asks Pesci to hit him and gets pissed because he won't hit him hard enough... or, even better, a film from New Zealand, ONCE WERE WARRIORS, any scene where the Dad comes home drunk... so uncomfortable. |

| I would say the entire movie of Dawn of the Dead was intense for me. The first zombie scene is intense and they get chased through out the whole movie. I really enjoyed seeing that movie in the theatre, and I loved the nice touch of having zombies that would run at you with maniac speed. I always hate those zombie movies where the zombies slowly stumble around. I wish they would of gotten the director from Dawn of the Dead to do another film. Why bring back George Romero to do one? That movie Day of the Dead was horrible. |

| "The Unforgiven" when Clint's second shot in the saloon is a misfire and there's pregnant pause before everyone draws their pistols. |

Otis' execution of the cop in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses was nuts.
The guy is on his knees with a gun on his forehead, and the camera slowly pans back for a good 30 seconds before Otis pulls the trigger and wastes the guy. |

John Turturo's plea for his life as he is being walked to the execution grounds in Miller's Crossing.
The long pause in Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies before Brenda Blethyn realizes that Marianne Jean-Baptiste is her daughter. |

Saw it recently. Kick ass flick, althoug a B movie at best. Still a lot of fun.
tense? How about the finals scene of the usual suspects? |

Full Metal Jacket:
In the bathroom on graduation night. "Private Pyle" has just shot the drill sargent and "Joker" is trying to ease him down. He's scared out of his mind and trying to get Pyle to not shoot him.
Very tense! |

Did you see the unrated DVD version or the watered-down for Korean TV version?
Watching Andy's head come apart like a watermelon at a Gallagher show is priceless.
My favorite character? Steve. "Was that sarcasm? Wow, awesome." |

Night of the Living Dead is much better. Numerous atmospheric, tense scenes.
Else, how about when Bruce Willis goes back home to retrieve his watch? Fookin magic!
Or when they go into Norman Bates' house in Psycho? That's tense, folks. |
