The Grey
Knowing
Flight

What are some of the best? What did I miss?

 

[elrechazado]

Castaway is the best I've seen

 

[holygeesus]

Final Destination's is nasty and I watched it the night before getting on a long haul flight too. Whoops.

 

[Into the Light]

Castaway is the best I've seen

That one was terrifying. One of my favs.

 

[capitalCORN]

Alive.

 

[sirap]

Can't decide which is the best, they're all fucking terrifying

 

[Violence Jack]

Die Hard 2's was ruthless.

 

[SpaceWolf]

That Knowing picture is making me laugh.

 

[Disxo]

Air force one was great

The one from Flight was very well done.

[Tagyhag]

Alive freaked me the hell out.

 

[AlanzTalon]

Saw Castaway the day before a flight. Not recommended.

Too late

 

[SlimySnake]

Flight was intense. I mean i knew they were gonna make it but it was still scary to watch.

Cast Away was alright.

The grey was legit scary. It's like Cast Away in that the whole scene is shot from inside the cabin but it's much more effective.

[Dishwalla]

The bit in Flight where the stewardess gets her ankle stuck in the overhead bin makes me wince.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Too late

More depressing than terrifying for me.

 

[Violence Jack]

And even though it's not in the movie itself, nor does it involve a plane, I cannot bring myself to watch Twilight Zone: The Movie after the helicopter accident on set that killed 3 people.

 

[iMax]

Not a movie... but LOST did it very well.

 

[Sephzilla]

Cast Away is the winner for me

 

[Into the Light]

Cast Away is the winner for me

As soon as he steps out of the bathroom, its crazy, and when he asks up front whats happening, and the co pilot or engineer looks at him and wags his finger like not now, I knew things were going to be bad.

 

[Anton Sugar]

The Grey is for sure one of my favs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anKyEGknvEA

 

[sphinx]

that flight about the chilenian team getting stranded on the high mountains after a plane crash, that looked impressive for the time, made me feel uneasy

I am talking a film of the mid 90's, Ethan Hawke stars in there.

 

[teruterubozu]

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

One that I always fucking think about when I'm on a plane is the scene in We Are Marshall.

Very quick and subtle, but damn the way this goes from calm to absolute chaos in a split second, and in such a short scene, fucks me up.

gif doesn't really do the scene justice but this is what I'm talking about

 

[itwasTuesday]

Cast Away, when the plane drops and the dude pops up in the air and hits his head on the ceiling... he was done.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I immediately thought of The Grey when reading the thread title.

 

[toxicgonzo]

Sully - not the most terrifying because you know how it ends but it was well executed and faithful to what actually happens in a crash.

 

[Borgnine]

Don't forget the Flight one is based a real craah, a plane really inverted like that. They were like that for a few minutes.

Alive

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Flight gave me a panic attack. I had to walk out of the theater.

 

[andythinkpad]

Flight is my favorite.

You can't film a realistic crash without dead body everywhere.

 

[Soltype]

The best I've scene.

[SJRB]

The one-take crash sequence in Knowing is fucking crazy.

 

[Trouble]

My brother is an airline pilot and when that movie came out they all apparently loved that scene.

Yeah thats one is crazy.

 

[BobNewbert31]

The best I've scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I16_8l0yS-g

Based on true events. Terrifying.

 

[Elitist1945]

Knowing is crazy because you don't see it coming and it all happens so fast. And in one shot.

 

[Takyon]

Spoiler

Sorry

 

[commedieu]

Knowing is crazy because you don't see it coming and it all happens so fast. And in one shot.

But its all ruined* by Nicolas cages casual jog through all the perils of post effects.

*perfected.

 

[Ainsz]

Castaway. Man that shit was brutal. Like heart pounding good shit.

 

[_Isaac]

I haven't seen it in ages but I remember the crash in Alive terrifying me as a kid.

 

[Hazmat]

United 93

Yep.

 

[Joe T.]

Fight Club

That one gets credit for being both terrifying and hilarious at the same time thanks to its context.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Alive.

I was going to say this but then I watched it again on YouTube, really doesn't hold up sadly.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

The one-take crash sequence in Knowing is fucking crazy.

Yeah it was surprisingly visceral watching the aftermath.
