Most Shocking/Disturbing Films u'v seen?

Yeah, I was going to put The Ring on the list. Oldboy is excellent. Kids was pretty disturbing for me as well. Then there's Joint Security Area. I'm not sure if I was shocked or disturbed in any way, but it really got to me emotionally.

I thought Black Hawk Down was really disturbing and hard to watch. A great movie, but I don't think I'll feel the need to see it again for a very long time.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

You haven't seen disturbing until you've seen VULGAR.

On the shocking but funny front you could always go with Meet The Feebles.

As someone who works with kids, even though I knew about all this stuff already, it was very disturbing to watch.

The most horribly disturbing film you will ever see is a French film titled, "Irreversible," which features an VERY graphic, 20-minute rape scene, not to mention a scene that takes place in a sex club in which one person's face is beaten OFF of his head with a fire extinguisher. Enough said.

Completely scarred me.

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE upset me. not a date film. SHINE upset me. the whole sexual relationship between geoffrey rush and lynn redgrave was nauseating. was she his nurse or his mommie? they just didn't relate like adults. it was hard to watch.

Capturing The Friedmans.

And I just want to say something about the supposedly very graphic rape scene in Irreversible. It's nothing of the kind. It's very long and it's VERY disturbing, but I really wouldn't say it was graphic. The reason it's so disturbing is it focuses so relentlessly on Monica Bellucci's pain and suffering. It's an exceptional but very difficult film.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

No, the rape scene wasn't visually graphic, i.e. lots of explicit footage.

It was definitely Belucci's pain, coupled with the sheer length of the scene, that got to me. Not to mention that I saw it in a theatre, and the sharp sound on top of it all was what did me in.

I left the theatre during Fosse's STAR 80. It was just too intense for me towards the end.

I've heard so much about Irreversible, I'm terrified to watch it. I'm not even sure why someone wanted to make that film.

The Accused is actually more graphic than Irreversible, yet the latter is more disturbing, if that makes sense.

American History X. I still can't watch that part at the beginning with Edward Norton beating up that guy in the street. I just cannot handle that.

I'm with beacon on Clockwork Orange. It was just not my kind of movie. I barely made it through!

I would agree with Irreversible.

I also thought Last House on the Left was pretty harrowing and disturbing.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

SorryGrateful, I was just thinking the same thing. I can still hear the sound of that guy's skull on the curb. So disgusting.

There are parts in Dolores Claiborne that I find pretty disturbing.

I think I may be the only person on the planet who actually sort of likes Boxing Helena.

Fight Club was just WEIRD

But the most shocking I guess was NORA....not a good thing to watch with the parents...

I was watching Truth or Dare last night- if you rent it, DON'T watch it with the parents!
