Wow, a lot of good stuff has been mentioned here. I would probably have to say that Salo is the most disturbing movie I know of. August Underground's Mordum, Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood, I Spit on Your Grave, Visitor Q, The Last House on the Left (the original), and Nekromantik are also high on the list. And I also love The Fantastic Planet; I don't really think of it as being as disturbing as the others, but it is very unusual and thought provoking. They Live!, Videodrome, Jacob's Ladder, Eraserhead, The Thing, all great...

Irreversible. Effed me up bigtime. I watched it when I was suffering from a weird disease as well, had no idea what was wrong with me so was already anxious. I had a perverse desire to screw myself up worse I guess, by watching that movie.

I honestly developed some sort of short term PTSD. For 1 week I couldn't get the images out of my head and I was scared to leave my house.

28 days later is one of my fav films. I love the empty London scene. Very eerie.

28 weeks later on the other hand did disturb me a bit.

By far the Most disturbing Movie I've seen in my entire life is "The Passion of the Christ."A movie my family sadly had to paid good money to see. And the Worst part is that people walked out of that Theater thinking that they were more moral than before they saw that movie. Your telling me watching a man GET BRUTALLY TORTURED for 2 hours made you a moral person? This is how you can tell Mel Gibson is screwed up in the head. He thinks the best way to spread Jesus' message is not to teach us any of his morals but to watch him be tortured for 2 STRAIGHT HOURS The Movie contained none of his teachings, His words, or his message, only bloodshed

Gibson was doing his anti-Jewish thing. Blame the death and torture of Jesus on the Jews. Way to go Mel!

I don't find that many movies disturbing, but this changes when it comes to documentaries. "Deliver Us from Evil" and "Dear Zachary" are perfect examples.

One of the most disturbing documentaries I've seen lately is "Her Name is Sabine"

Requiem for a Dream, by far.

A handful of people mentioned Jacob's Ladder, that's pretty disturbing but is also one of my favorite movies ever. Requiem for a Dream is literally unwatchable. I remember I saw that in the theaters when it came out (I think I was 18 at the time) and I made it through the whole thing but when it was over I just sat on the steps outside the theater and was unable to speak and basically motionless for like 20 minutes.

Others that are pretty raw to me (for various reasons):
The Deer Hunter
Event Horizon
Kids
Elephant
Seven

I had that exact reaction to "La Fracture du Myocarde". It wasn't viscerally shocking like "Requiem for a Dream," and it was advertised as a light, comical, charming film. But I found it emotionally devastating and the final line just slayed me. I was in a sort of shock afterwards.

Scream has to be the worse movie that I've seen in my entire life. The blood and gore and the name calling has really turned me off of horror movies. Never again, will I watch any of the Scream movies, or anything like them.
