Silence of the lambs. 8mm was also disturbing,but Anthony Hopkins good acting in this movie was very disturbing. Skinning a mans face off and putting it on your own face to make an escape? Yech!:Q

Pokemon 1, 2 and 3. (shudder)

Otherwise, I'd have to say Apocolypse Now or even the first Godfather. They just disturbed me a lot, maybe because I saw both of them when I was relatively young.

Bad Boy Bubby After watching this movie you will be looking at Austalians sideways for the rest of your life

Hellraiser was a bit disturbing too (but incredibly cool)

Oh yeh, also Loraina Bobbet's Marital Problems: My Innovative Solution

American Me. Graphic prison shank/rape scenes etc...I have seen it only once and I would never watch it again. It's been years yet I still cannot get some of that film out of my head.

8mm, without a doubt. It was both disturbing in what it depicted on the screen, and in the fact that the movie accomplished nothing else. Unlike Se7en, or other similar movies, it had no real purpose other than to disgust the viewer.

I walked out of that movie, and it was the only time I ever asked for my money back. Graphic violence and nudity don't bother me when they are just a part of the movie, but 8mm existed only to show the violence and nudity.

To see Paris and Die.

Do *not* watch this movie. I watched it for extra credit in Russian 101. Our
professor appologized the next day :)

A Clockwork Orange is kinda distrubing too.

I kind of liked Shallow Grave. And yes, A Clockwork Orange can be disturbing. My friends won't watch it with me. I've seen it so many times I'm desensitized I guess--all I see is a brilliant Kubrick film. :)

Kids and Happiness are both very disturbing films.

Lynch's Eraserhead was quite disturbing, though good. Heck, I think his work in Blue Velvet could disturb people as well though, though it pales in comparison to Eraserhead.

The nost disturbing SCENE that comes to mind was one of the later scenes in Casino, when Joe Pesci gets the beats with a baseball bat and they bury him alive (unable to move) in a dusty cornfield. <shudder>

One of the creepiest/disturbing movies I have seen in awhile was Stir of Echoes.

Fire in the Sky -- supposidly a true story about being &quot;abducted&quot; by aliens.... Pretty disturbing.

Gummo was really disturbing to me -- anyone who kills cats then sells them to a grocery/resturant for money is sickening.

KIDS -- black widdow ... nuff said

8MM was also pretty disturbing -- snuff is disturbing period

Twister was disturbing to one of my friends, because she used to live in tornado alley as a little girl.
