For me it was the original King Kong

my mom let me watch "the omen 2" with her when i was about 10.
after that i was afraid for a long time that i was satan's kid.
i would check my head for the number 666, and when i would get a haircut, i would be worried that the hairdresser would see it and that's how i would find out.
i seriously prayed every night for probably a year that i was not the devil's child.

YES. when i was a little girl many, many,many years ago I watched a film which has scarred me for life. It was Probably a horror, I think it was called the LOONIES or THE LUNATICS. It was about a (possibly)small place where the water had been tainted by (again possibly) either a nuclear or biological agent and therefore everyone turned into some kind of zombie . The thing that really frightened me about this is when the army came to help , dressed in their hazmat suits, a little old granny stabbed one through the heart with her knitting needles, and then did an evil psychotic laugh.I haven't been able to knit EVEN

A few, particularly The Butterfly effect.
Great answer earlier on Bob Holness (JamesBond)
I also took illegal substances when watching the lord of the rings trilogy back to back at the cinema and my life has not been the same since.
Also Human Traffic was the film that started my love affair with ecstasy, so that probably the most.

When I was 10 or 11, BBC Nationwide showed a "public information film" about kids putting things on railway tracks, throwing rocks at trains "for kicks" in order to get them to stop doing it, presumably. It was done in a semi-satirical kind of a way, with the train stopped afterwards and a bloke with a clipboard going through the carriages awarding points for the most damage caused - right at the end, he entered the driver's car and gave out 50 points for a 'blinded driver'. The train driver was screaming with his hands over his eyes and blood running through his fingers, really horrible! Unless I dreamt it all of course, I've never heard of it since then.
Many years later I saw the Blair witch project whilst coming off an alcoholic bender, with insomnia and the shakes and all that paranoid stuff. It really scared me - the house at the end reminded me of a derelict house down a country lane that we used to play in when we were kids.

Crazily enough it was poltgerguist. Not even a classically scary horro film. But that clown man!! woah! that thing gave me the creeps and when it drags the brother under the bed! No good! Clowns big no-no now! Also the bit at the end of Friday the 13th (first one) when Nancy pulls the phone from the wall and it still rings and she picks up and Freddie's tounge comes throu!! Urgh nasty! didnt pick up a phone for weeks after!!

Closer had a pretty profound affect on me - I had a very hysterical trip back home from the cinema. I think that it tends to be films that resonate with some aspect of my life that have the biggest impact. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind also, even now, alarms me.

Two films as an adult - Candyman, still worries me on occassions when I am alone in the house look in mirror and my mind starts invoking the name Candyman... makes me shudder but I just can't help myself.
Worse still was The Ring - the gross betrayal of her friendship at the end scarred me and still does. Unfortunately I saw it when I was going abroad for a long period of time - somehow it haunted me.
As a child it was the scene in The Battle of Britain when a pilot is shot in the face.

Three films, for different reasons
Original "Invaders From Mars" as it scared the absolute crap out of me for ten years to come. (And my brothers aiding and abetting this didn't help things.)
"Village of the Giants". Now, looking back, this movie is a cornball delight, but at the time, to see busty women, bursting out of their clothes, does something to a 13-year-old mind.
"The Little Mermaid", as I never understood what 'obsession' meant for real

I wouldn't say I've been psychologically damaged, but a few movies have left me spooked.
"The Exorcist", for me, was the worst in this respect because of the pure evil which it depicted.
