Not a movie, but the episode of The Goodies where they found a T-Rex under the headquarters and it ended up waking up at the end of the episode.

First fucking nightmare I remember. That goddamn T Rex coming for me.

I was, like, 6.

Yes. Also...

No film has ever given me nightmares. Why they are just films.

I used to laugh at horror films. So damn stupid.

Anyway...

The Fox and the Hound made me lie awake night after night crying over the scene where the Fox is released back into the wild and it doesn't understand what's happening.

I remember that one!

Another '80s sci-fi movie that had a few nightmarish scenes...



The baddie gets shot and falls into the smelter... and we see his charred head momentarily bobbing up from beneath the molten metal.

Watch the scene here.

Just very funny. What is scary?

The stampede scene in The Lion King shook me as a child.

I didn't have many nightmares as a kid, but Dreamscape kept me up at night after seeing it, as well as the girl fight scene from Airplane. I was very young when I saw that, and definitely didn't see the humor in it. I was thinking "did they died?"

It's funny now! When I saw it as a kid, I both chuckled and cringed.

I grew up very fast.

Dreamscape was pretty good... had some impressive FX for the time (1984).

I watched it recently and I didn't enjoy it as much as when I was a kid. I enjoyed the cast though. Inception fans would probably like it now.

In a somewhat different vein, the epic argument between Jesse and Celine in Before Midnight. We're watching a marriage possibly disintegrate right before our eyes, and the effect is heightened by the fact we've watched this relationship develop over the past 20 years in real (not cinematic) time

This really fucked with my shit as an 8-year-old.

Did you ever figure this one out? For some reason, your post made me the first time I read it, and it did the same this time.

COME AND SEE, a great Russian war movie from 1985 that had been haunting me for weeks after I saw it for the first time.

Wizard of Oz

In one scene, right before they find the Tin Man, the Apple Trees start talking and throwing apples at Dorothy and the Scarecrow.

ETA: This movie gave me nightmares as a child: the scene where Dorothy is trapped in the room waiting for the hour glass to run out.

Jesus Camp.

That can't be it, can it? Who can't remember the name of that movie?
