What is the most disturbing film you've seen?

The usual flicks mentioned in response to this question are things like The Exorcist, Jacob's Ladder, Henry, Audition, Three Extremes, etc.

I recently found a few 'most controversial films' lists, and being a horror buff I was surprised/disappointed that I didn't recognize hardly any of the titles. I've since watched some clips of some of them off of torrent sites, and wow. Aftermath, Guinea Pig 2, August Underground... I didn't know they made movies like this. I like horror and all but geez some of that made me want to puke.

I've not heard of any of those.

I didn't find The Exorcist or Audition particularly disturbing (and I haven't seen the others). In fact, the only film which has made for uncomfortable viewing has to be Ichi The Killer. But there was a moment in Platoon where I wanted to stop watching.

I don't typically find fiction films disturbing; it's documentaries on certain subjects I find disturbing. However, lots of my friends that I've recommend "13 Tzameti" to have found it pretty disturbing. If you have Netflix, you can watch this online.

The Shining was more exhilirating than disturbing.

any one of those death documentaries are disturbing.

Reqiuem was a good movie... slightly disturbing IMO. Mondo Cane I haven't seen.

13 Tzameti I just added to my queue, thanks for the recommendation.

I just thought of another one- Kids, that 90s Larry Clark movie. The thought that those characters mimicked someone in real life even a little was disturbing.

Twist it a little, but Supersize Me was kinda disturbing in its own way.

I was a little disturbed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the new one). The part where the chainsaw murderer guy comes out with the other guy's face on him was freaky.
