Seem like there are various definitions for disturbing movies, for me, it would have to be Very Bad Things. I remember feeling sick in the beginning of the movie. I would also vote for Requiem for a Dream, but that's more like just shocking, not so much that it disturbed me.
 
i know this is weird, but Traffic really disturbed me for some reason. not sure why.

Silence of the Lambs was scary/disturbing...
 
well, at the recent showing of the 11th annual New Orleans Worst Film Festival I got to (i use that loosely) view a film by the name of "PUFNSTUF".

It disturbed me to no ends. The 'dragon' charactor of Pufnstuf makes Barney look really good and enjoyable. Pufnstuf is simular to Barney, but make him stupider and he has a clam like head. And any film with Mamma Cass as a witch just bothers me too. Plenty of pointless dance sequences and joyful singing about teen 'issues' and then lots of bad foam villians and landscapes....And to sum it all up you have a magic talking flute that just HAS to be the inspiration for South Park's Mr Henky, the Chrismas Poo. Flutes don't talk....just close your eyes and it will go away..... but it wouldn't.

I tend to think someone was definatly PUFFING something.

It gives me shivers just to think of how painful Pufnstuf was to watch. I highly recommend it if you are feeling sadistic and need a laugh at someone else's expense...

Am i the only one that found "fight club" somewhat disturbing? As well as "the pledge"? I suppose not so much as a movie like "kids," but still disturbing nonetheless..

<< speaking of &quot;Faces of Death&quot;----I got an e-mail with an mpeg attched &quot;facesofdeath.mpeg&quot;--it shows a guy getting his throat cut and is quite sickening---anybody else seen this or know if it's real? it sure as hell looks real. >>



Sounds like one a friend of mine who's still in the Marine Corps sent me a few months ago. It was pretty grainy and showed a soldier laying on the ground with a boot on his head. Then a hand comes in with a knife and slits his throat. My friend said it was of a Russian soldier being killed by Chechen rebels.
THATS why you don't surrender. Yes it's disturbing, war aint nice, it gets messy
>>



My friend saw the same footage, only what he described to me was more grisly. The throat was not slit it was getting gutted by twisting and gouging into the open wound. My friend couldn't sleep after seeing that. It even gave me the freaky tingles from hearing it.

Movies:
Naked Lunch
Existenz
Seven
Alive
 


<< ....for me, it would have to be Very Bad Things >>



I agree, that was a dark movie, quite disturbing. The french (original) version of The Vanishing was disturbing to me as well.
 
When I was a kid we watched Dark Night of the Scarecrow...scared the $hit out of me! It was around Halloween and guess what I was for Halloween that year?






























a scarecrow! :Q

maybe that's why it scared me so 😉
 
From a guys point of view, I'd have to say that &quot;The Crying Game&quot; defines the term disturbing. I mean how many guys almost puked when the &quot;chick&quot; turns around to show how well she's hung, bletch!!:disgust:
 
- Angel Heart
- Seven

I loved both of these movies but they got to me to the point where I just can not watch them again.
 
Here's another vote for 8mm. The depravity exhibited by all the characters in that movie was just sickenin, and it had no redeeming morality or higher point, just showing humanity at its worst.
 
- First 10 Minutes of &quot;Saving Private Ryan&quot;
- Event Horizon
- Seven
- Pulp Fiction (only slightly disturbing)
- Hellraiser II
- 12 Monkeys

- Some weird split-personality movie with John Lithgow in a psycho pink dress at the end??? edit: Raising Cain

 
Eraserhead
Last House on the Left
I Spit On Your Grave

Requiem For A Dream is supposed to be really disturbing so I refuse it see it. Freaks is another movie I refuse to see.
 
luv2chill

can't agree more

CLOCKWORK ORANGE is by far the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. In true kubrick fashion I might add.

if you haven't seen it, watch it...but don't say I didn't warn you
 
a clockwork orange, that movie rules

8mm was bad VERY VERY disturbing


gotta toss in &quot;cage - agent orange&quot; that song is awesome too, if you like a clockwork orange
 
Exorcist (with the scene with the girl...) distrubing..
The Shining....bathtub scene...and all that blood rushing thru the halls r quite disturbing.
 
'stir of echoes' is so underrated; 'the sixth sense' is a virtual clone and less of a film, imho. i cannot believe that kevin spacey is 43 years old !

'happiness' had a disturbing last half hour or so.
 
I don't see why you guys are so disturbed by 8mm. 😕 I went &amp; saw it in the theatre when I was 16, it didn't bother me in the slightest.

A friend of mine was watching it in boot camp, though, &amp; their superior made them shut it off.

Go figure.

I was most disturbed by the inevitable typecasting of James Gandolfini 🙁
