What is the most disturbing movie you've see

Hellraiser:Revelations
-This movie is so terrible it disturbs me that people actually directed and produced it.
Funny Games
-I could never watch this movie ever again. Disturbs and upsets me to no end.
Cloverfield
-All the scenes where the characters are running through the city when the chaos starts breaking out. Hearing all the people screaming, the pregnant lady on the stretcher, everything about it just made me really uneasy. Then the scene with the chick exploding. Everything afterwards is kind of tame IMO but those first 40 minutes disturbed me a lot.

The original Hellraiser and its sequel Hellbound use to disturb me a lot. Especially the scene where Frank is ripped apart by chins, stretched out and giggles "Jesus weeeept." before exploding. Hellbound had even more disturbing imagery, like the crazy man who kept seeing maggots writhing in his skin and the whole lament configuration turning Channard into a cenobite. Oh my god that looked so painful and disgusting. The scene from Hellbound where The Twins are made was pretty disturbing too but probably the only highlight from that awful sequel. None of the Hellraiser movies scare me anymore but they use to plague my nightmares for years.

It takes a lot to disturb me anymore, especially in a society that worships wanton gore and violence now. I may be evil inside but A Siberian Movie made me laugh out loud several times, though I did feel pity for the main character and his family at the end. I think what disturbs me now in films are things that actually make me physically uncomfortable or offended, like violence against animals and exaggerated cruelty. Even with the latter I LOVE movies like Pulp Fiction, especially Samuel L.Jackson's famous "WHAT" scene and the Bruce Willis section of the film. I guess you could say animal cruelty and mass hysteria and panic are what disturb me. I can't watch movies like Final Destination either.

I think it was called Bloody Reunion. A Korean horror film that at first comes across as a typical slasher, but throws you for a loop at the end.

Eraserhead just plain creeped me out. I own the DVD too.
Audition...I enjoy Miike, but this film will make you squirm
Apocalypse Now. To prove that I have seen it, I shall state that the phrase "The horror, the horror!" is quoted three times towards the end of the movie. Also the title appears as graffiti in the background at a slightly earlier point. Oh, and that Dennis Hopper only has a brief role.

Recently, Hard Candy.

When I lived in Berkeley (late '70s), the UC Theatre on University (gone now) showed different movies every night and had midnight movies on the weekend... just watching Eraserhead was pretty disturbing, but then walking home through downtown Berkeley at 2 in the morning afterwards was pretty scary as well

Oh, and anything with Tom Hanks.

Teeth. (Dentata...) definitely not an appropriate date movie.

The black swan is pretty creepy.
Silence of the lambs

Two immediately come to mind (I don't watch horror films)

Schindler's list

Saving Private Ryan

Both excellent films but they are so emotionally draining that I can't watch them again.

Earthlings - It's like a film documentary thing. There was this scene where a live dog was put in a garbage compactor. It really upset me, and the scene kept playing over in my head for days. Horrible film, but the worst thing is, this was apparently real

I switched it off after that, never want to see it ever again.

The Roommate

Prophecy.
The movie had the most hideously ugly mutated bear monster that I had yet seen as a kid. It's the one movie I regret seeing to this day, as it caused me to stay awake night after night, peering into the darkness, just waiting for that God awful looking thing to come after me. Years later, when I watched the movie again, I saw that the mutant bear was just a guy in a plastic suit - - but that doesn't change the fact that in my unconscious mind, the freakish creature is still all too real. The psychologist who had diagnosed me with Asperger's had also listened to me about how I still have the occasional nightmare to this day of that bear monster. He had thought that my persistent thoughts of the bear had something to do with my Asperger's. He was probably right.

I'm stuck between The Road and Eraserhead.
Had I been younger probably would have said Begotten but once you get it into your head most of the movie is symbolic of death / atonement / rebirth it stops being as grim as it looks.

Star Trek The Motion Picture
