"The 120 Days of Salo" also grossed me out.
I'd be concerned about you if that movie DIDN'T gross you out! I have a similar reaction to the "baby" in Eraserhead -- especially when it was sick, and pretty much everything about Dune.
Things that gross me out --
-- Skin conditions -- really severe wrinkles, psoriasis, warts, skin tags, etc.
-- Organs -- the internal body parts, not the musical instruments
-- Skin that has been sliced into, as in surgery or a bad cut.
-- There is this frog -- don't know the name of it -- that carries its babies on its back in these little slits. The sight of those things completely freaks me out. It gets me so much that I've seen pitted concrete that looks like it, and that grosses me out too.
-- Ditto the "face" of a lamprey eel. I remember a picture of one in my 7th grade life science book. I couldn't even look at it. When I had to read something on that page, I had to cover up the picture.
-- Raw oysters -- not just the texture, but the look of them, like a loogie someone spit into a cup.
-- Raw meat -- Being a grocery store cashier, I see all kind of icky stuff come through the register -- organ meats, slabs of muscle and flesh, ground bits, pig ears that still have the blue veins in them. Turkey gizzards may be the most disgusting things I've ever seen. I'm not a vegetarian, but I may get to the point where I CAN'T eat meat anymore.
-- The way flesh gets gray when it decays, as in a dead thing on the side of the road (I live in a rural area with lots of dead critters on the road, so I see this kind of thing often)
Hmm...there seems to be a pattern here of weird creepy skin stuff. Part of the reason I never became a doctor even though medicine really interests me. And I'd better stop typing. This list of mine has made me sick to my stomach...

Go as far as you can see. When you get there, you will see farther.
