Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

Cannibal Holocaust. I’m reminded of it every time I see a tortoise. If you’re an animal person, do not watch it.
All of the animal torture scenes were completely in bad taste. I met Ruggero Deodato once. I told him that I really respected how raw and violent Cannibal Holocaust was, and the legalities behind the movie were fascinating, but that the animal cruelty is beyond reproach, truly disgusting.
Oh no, I also remember the giant water tortoise. Specifically how disgusting the shell opening was with all the guts and slimy white body fat. Nothing I’ve seen in any other “hardcore” horror movie has come close to this scene.
I’ve seen the movie in German, it’s called “Nackt und zerfleischt” (Naked and mangled/mauled) here.
