This list was spawned from a conversation I had with a friend of mine, who was looking for some horror movie recommendations. Her only stipulation was: "No rape scenes." That got me thinking.
I feel like the prevalence of sexual assault in media can easily be dismissed unless the scope of the problem is visualized, so that's what this list is for. I really hope people that see this list don't think it's a celebration of the subject matter, or an "ooh, look at how scandalous this is!" kind of bullshit clickbait; rather, it's more of an experiment to see just how many movies there are featuring rape, and can maybe exist as a blanket trigger warning for people who…

I feel like the prevalence of sexual assault in media can easily be dismissed unless the scope of the problem is visualized, so that's what this list is for. I really hope people that see this list don't think it's a celebration of the subject matter, or an "ooh, look at how scandalous this is!" kind of bullshit clickbait; rather, it's more of an experiment to see just how many movies there are featuring rape, and can maybe exist as a blanket trigger warning for people who are avid movie watchers but are cautious of rape scenes. There are spoilers here. Some of these movies' reputations precede themselves but others might be more of a surprise.
The rules are very simple. In order to qualify for this list, the movie must depict or imply the act of sexual assault, attempted or successful, or have rape serve as a major point in the plot. The sex of the victim or the perpetrator doesn't matter. The rape doesn't have to be the focus of the movie. It doesn't matter whether it's been played for laughs or not.
Obviously, this isn't really a nuanced list, nor is a movie's inclusion meant to be a mark of shame. Note that just because a movie is on this list doesn't mean that it was bad, or that the topic of rape was handled inappropriately, so you'll probably see a lot of B movie bullshit beside otherwise fantastic films. There's a world of difference between movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and, say, Gutterballs. The point is to illustrate how many movies out there have rape or attempted rape in them.
Check the notes for details. I haven't seen most of these, so I could be misinformed about some of the movies in this list. Pleaaaase let me know if I've gotten something wrong. Remember that all suggestions will always be welcome, as this is an ongoing project that I will continue for the duration of my membership on Letterboxd, and as long as I keep watching movies. My goal is to document as many movies that fit the criteria above as possible, no matter how obscure, lowbrow or seemingly insignificant.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Something I forgot to mention was that documentaries that address sexual assault/rape (such as The Hunting Ground, Catching the Friedmans, The Invisible War) will not be included in this list, since it's more about the use of rape as a plot device in media.
