what upsets me the most is older films where they kill or hurt animals. even scenes of sharks getting speared. i just hate that crap. the worst was "journey to the center of the earth" where they made those poor reptiles fight each other cock-fight style, then at the end they took a beautiful monitor lizard and poured what looked like hot tar over it while it was alive. that really, really pissed me off, and i wish i never had to see it.

I'm with you whole-heartedly on this point!
Andrei Rublev had a particularly disturbing scene in the sacking of Vladimir where some animals are set fire - alive! That stuck with me for weeks...
Eisenstein's Strike has a horse that is killed and the carcass falls off a raising bridge. Brutal and cold.
There are lots of other incidents, but those two really got to me.
Why harm animals for what is essentially supposed to be entertainment?
At lease CGI has allowed things to be portrayed without really happening (like the cow incident in O Brother Where Art Thou).
