One of the worst beating scenes I've ever seen!!

Off the top of my head: Fight Club (where they beat Jared Leto's character), American Psycho (Jared Leto's the victim again -such a beautiful face to disfigure-), Pan's Labirynth (one peasant gets his head bashed in with the back of a pistol), Green Street Hooligans (a guy get his head smashed in a fistfight), Drive (Ryan Gosling beats a guy and then smashes his head on the floor with his foot), ClockWork Orange (I love the rape scene), Reservoir Dogs (a man is being tortured to the sound of 70s music), Untouchables (DeNiro smashes -I love the word- a guy's head with a bat and some guy has his head blown of in an elevator), Kick Ass I and II, Tarantino's films.
Don't misinterpret me, I don't like violence for violence's sake (I hate horror gory films). In my opinion, those are all great films and the violence is justified. And after watching all of them, Casino is very soft.
Also, the violence in most of those films isn't very graphical either, you just see fake red blood (the color of which is far from resembling the actual color of blood btw). I don't know, I guess after all this Marvel movies and other action films where people get hit and they don't bleed, not even a little bit They even got me to believe that you had to hit someone really hard in the face for them to bleed but then I got to see a little bar fight and I realized it was all a lie. And now I'm tired of the ''fakeness'' of it all. If you have to include violence let there be blood.
But, most probably, I'm a minority and I'm sure they won't change their PEGI ratings for me. -

Watched it again right now. Yes, it's brutal. Even though you know it's actors, just acting in front of a camera, laughing between takes even knowing that this still makes you sick in the stomach. Masterful film.

Yep, I've seen a lot of the scenes people are alluding to in this thread but the baseball bat scene in Casino beats (npi) them all, not so much due to the gore or explicit level of violence but the overall direction of the scene. There's no music and gradually see Dominick get pulverized - AND bloody-faced Nicky feebly pleading with them to spare his brother. All of it together just feels so realistic and we feel like Nicky - being forced to watch something so horrible and never-ending close up.
The fact that it's Joe Pesci (and I'll forever see him as Harry from Home Alone) is also a little upsetting to me.
I notice your English gets better when you want something. -

I could watch the cornfield beating scene a thousand times before I would ever watch Sailor's beating of Bob Ray Lemon at the beginning of Wild at Heart again. I have a high tolerance for movie violence but I refuse to watch that scene ever again.

Lots already mentioned here: Wild at Heart, Killing them Softly, Irreversible.
I would add Layer Cake and Gangster No.1 to this- a bad beating and a torture/murder respectively, both filmed from the victims' POV, which makes it all the more difficult to stomach.
There also a much underrated film called The Debt Collector, which has a couple of very heavy scenes and stars Billy Connolly, of all people, playing a former thug trying to get his life together. Worth a watch, but not for the faint hearted. -

Bone Tomahawk - nobody forgets that death scene, horrific. Made worse by the fact that the victim is a likeable character, whereas in Casino Nicky was a psychotic mass murderer who had it coming.
Irreversible - ten minute long rape and beating scene. Those European arthouse directors are often the most ****ed up.
On that note I’ll mention Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist and The House That Jack Built - both have moments I wish I could forget. Michael Haneke’s Funny Games is also extremely disturbing, unless you’re into watching a nice family get tormented and tortured for 2 hours. -

I'd like to share my experience because I've been searching for a decent casino for a long time. I've often found sites that seem fine, but then issues arise—sometimes the limits are weird, sometimes bonuses can't be cleared, sometimes payouts are delayed. I found this option through a discussion where people were sharing trusted sites, not just "where the bonus is bigger." The link was this:

I decided to give it a try. First, I simply registered and looked at the interface. Everything is quite simple and clear, without any unnecessary clutter. This is already a plus, because some sites are really difficult to figure out. Then I made a deposit. It went through quickly, without any delays. I started playing—first the usual slots, then tried new games. I liked that there was not only the standard selection, but also the latest releases.
