1. A Serbian Film (all I did was read the wikipedia page...good enough for me to make the #1 spot)
2. The Shining (with all its subtext being massively disturbing ranging from child sexual abuse to the native american genocide)
3. Blue Velvet (Baby wants to fuck? What the hell??)
4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (there is one scene in particular but the film in general gives me an uneasy feeling)
5. Mulholland Drive (The last half of the film especially so, with the two scariest parts being the very end and a part in the beginning in the diner)

The only films that I'd call disturbing are A Serbian Film, Human Centipede and Antichrist. A word to the wise? NEVER watch Antichrist with your parents....EVER!
Perhaps you're just not fapping hard enough?.....I feel dirty for saying that T_Tnoobium said:
I actually consider Human Centipede (and its sequel) to be amusing, entertaining and funny. We laughed our tits off repeatedly. As for the gory/disgusting bits - well, that's what that sort of movie is about, innit.
There's plenty of confusing movies, but, to date, there's very few movies I consider to be genuinely disturbing.
My top disturbing movie would currently still be May (2002)

Somewhat closely followed by Lars von Trier's Antichrist (2009).
Gummo (1997) is also very disturbing, in a much more real (all too real) way.
Personally, I think A Serbian Film is brilliant, it's the most in-your-face, holistic approach to the modern world of media and... everything. In some markets, all of us are little more but meat and whores, really.

i'm throwing in for a serbian film like everybody else, with good fucking reason. i tried explaining it to some people at work, the looks they gave me...
i also would like to mention 3 particular scenes, but not the films themselves as a whole.
1. hostel part 1, the Achilles tendon slice and then he tries to stand up. makes me flinch every time.
2. i spit on your grave, the teeth pulling scene made me feel uncomfortable.
3. deliverance, squeal like s pig, because as i found out apparently the rape scene actually happened. the hillbilly actors actually stuck it in...

Why the fuck would you list any movie besides A Serbian Film (or some obscure Japanese rape scat child porn snuff movie)is beyond me. I watched it twice on the same day. One of my friends cried at the ending. I mean seriously, even after all the shit that happens, you're going to fuck his dead son?
I wasn't able to think about anything sexual for whole two days. Or look at whiskey at the same way.

A couple no one has mentioned:
Visitor Q, which to me is probably more disturbing than Audition or Ichi the Killer.
Dead Ringers. In certain scenes, probably particularly for women.
The original Last House on the Left is fairly intense.
And though I dunno if they'd crack my top five, a lot of folks find Requiem for a Dream, most of David Lynch's filmography and Clockwork Orange somewhat intense.
Others I've heard of but not seen:
Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom,
pretty much any Todd Solontz movie but especially Happiness,
maybe Cannibal Holocaust,
The Russian film Come and See, about an area of Russia which the Nazis occupied during the war. I've heard it makes Schindler's List look tame.

Watch/read/feel this one here, I suggest full screen, full bass and the volume up around 11.Murais said:

Lets see here. Most disturbing movies, eh? Alright, I will give it a shot:
5. Videodrome.
Unrelentingly nihilistic and bleak. It has many things to say about humanity and our relationship to popular culture, none of which is any good or fun. Helps that it is also gorey and twisted as hell in parts. ;P
4. Play Misty for Me.
Don't know what it is about this movie, but it freaked me the hell out. Made me afraid to be alone in the house for quite a while...
3. Watership down.
Watched as a kid. Regretted it for the rest of my life. D: Why the hell were british children's animated movies in the 80s so damn horrifying?
2. Taxi Driver.
Disturbed me in a way that is much different from the others: not with gore or shock, but with ideas and the actions of the characters. Remains to this day one of the more impactfull movies I have seen.
1. Eraserhead.
There is something about this movie that is supremely disquieting, and I have never been able to quite get it out of my head, no matter how hard I try.

Of the ones I actually own (in no particular order) :
> I spit on your grave - older one, hotter girl, more explicit nudity, rape, and revenge scenes.
> Martyrs - french horror film about people achieving martyrdom.
> Inside - french film about featuring a pregnant woman and a pair of scissors.
> Frontiers - another french film, this time about neo-nazis
> Pan's Labarynth - only for that face smashing scene and the fact that I couldn't think of another one.

It may have been Zombie island. I know there was a fight between a zombie and a shark at the start. I think that was in the same movie at least, after 6 zombie movies you stop taking note XD I'm sure they were on an island at least.Azaradel said:
EDIT: Yep, Zombi 2. Can't remember the title I saw it called :/
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The heart scene with the sacrifice? Gives me chills and not in the good way.
Katy Caterpillar
Anyone remember this one? There's something about it that makes me uneasy when I watch it as an adult. I cant't put my finger on it.
The Jungle Book
I've got a mind control fetish, so the scene with Kaa hypnotizing Mowgli is unpleasantly sexual to me. Boys don't turn me on, and not snakes either.
X-Men: The Last Stand
Gremlins
Remember that part when the gremlins are singing Christmas carols outside Mrs. Deagle's house, and she thinks it's "them" coming to take her? I was given a Christian upbringing and had a very real fear of this happening to me someday. Just to make it extra clear: Horrible creatures outside your house coming to take you to Hell with no chance of rescue was real to me. What I saw on the TV screen was something that had a good chance of happening to me.

X-Men: The Last Stand
Seeing Mystique, my second-favorite mutant in the movies, lose her powers felt bad. And then, to see it happen to all those other mutants... It was horrible. It's the reason I never rewatched this movie.
