Anyway, I've been beating my head against the wall for a few days to come up with a scene I found very disturbing. Here are a few... A Clockwork Orange...I first saw it when i was 15 and didn't see it for the humor. I found the whole film quite disturbing then, especially the "home" sequence with "Singin' in the Rain". Now it's one of my favorite films. The Elephant Man...I just found some of the mistreatment of the character hard to watch, again it stays with me because I was just 11 when I first saw it. Nekromantik...this film is quite demented, and the low-budget aspect seems to make it even more effective. Had trouble sitting through it. The whole thing is pretty disturbing. In the Bedroom....(**SPOILER ALERT**).... the murder scene...so brutal and unjust. Unbearable to watch how it rips the lives of those left behind apart... Funny Games...If you haven't seen this, find it. Well made, but the whole film is rather disturbing because it is so real. Sophie's Choice...the "choice" is rather an upsetting scene. those all disturbed me.

The most disturbing scene in a mainstream studio produced picture just HAS to be the electrocution in THE GREEN MILE.
I couldn't believe I was seeing that in a film like this. I t was very very real, and a great film for it. Lose the modern day bookends though!

She looks incredible. I found in Requiem she was made to look very unnatractive most of the time, which worked well for her character. I do recall now the scenes with Connelly shooting up were very disturbing and real. I'll have to see it again sometime soon.

Tetsuo
Tetsuo II : Body Hammer Tokyo Fight any film from director Shinya Tsukamoto has a scene in it that is surely disturbing as hell... Requiem for a dream is surely really disturbing, but I thought that the entire last part of the film was awesome, really disturbing. The mix of Connely fucking at that party (the ass to ass sequence previously mentionned) and Leto having his arm removed is top f*****g crazy. (but what about that scene in Basic Instinct where Sharon Stone crosses her legs, .... kiddin'......... )

The most disturbing thing I've seen is Cannibal Holocaust, made me feel REALLY dirty watching what they did to those animals. (At least the human deaths were FAKED.) Poor turtle!
:barf: Couldn't sit through Bloodsucking Freaks. I Spit on your Grave is also way up there (good call CB). Don't dig it at all when they treat the ladies like that. I'm sure there are more, I just really don't wanna think about it anymore. |

How Ellen Burstyn lost Best Actress for Requeim For A Dream is the biggest question in the world? I say she gave the best female performance of all time. Ranks there Harvey Keitel, who gave the greatest male performance of all time with Bad Lieutanent. Anyone here seen dance? Harvey's creepy wang dance was disturbing. Although, I thought the film was brilliant.
Oh yeah, one of the most extradonary films of are time had one of the most brutual sequences of all time. I'll give you hint. Quote:

Hi,
1)ALL of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for starters, but imparticular the hook scene. Cannot watch it. Leveled me the first time I saw it as a young tyke in High School in 1974. 2)The spider attack scene in Incredible Shrinking Man, and "Help Me" scene in The Fly. I have self-diagnosed arachnophobia! 3)An older movie called Ryan's Daughter if any of you out there are old enough to remember it or have seen it. The violent stripping of Sarah Miles by the townspeople. Very cruel. Don't like that kind of thing-public humiliation. 4)Ditto on the "Is it safe?" scene in Marathon Man. I have a fear of dentists also. I am sure there are others, but those are the top ones I cannot watch. Have a great day! Chris |

It's either Luis Buņuel slicing the eye in Un Chien Andalou
or Trey Parker eating aluminium foil in BASEketball...

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet. Pretty much every freaking scene in Pink Flamingos. I had gotten into a similar discussion with my college roommate my junior year of college. I had stuck with my guns and said that SE7EN was the most disturbing, shocking movie on Earth. He then countered with Pink Flamingos, a movie I had never heard of. After being forced to sit and watch the movie, I soon learned what a disturbing movie it was, and how demented John Waters really is. :p
The worst scenes were the "singing anus" scene, the "chicken" scene, or the scene where Devine eats a pile of dog shit.  Then again, pretty much any scene in that movie is shocking and disturbing. :barf:

One scene that actually made me ill when I was watching it at the movie theater was in Born on the Fourth of July, after Tom Cruise gets shot in Vietnam and is suspended in the hospital bed after being paralyzed. Nothing is really shown onscreen, but the mood and atmosphere, along with the realism of the movie, made me feel really nauseous and uncomfortable. Closest I ever came hurling in a movie theater.
The movie still ranks as Tom Cruise's best performance for me. Oh, there's also the French-kissing scene between Mia Kirshner and the old lady in Not Another Teen Movie. Disturbing in a different way, but disturbing nonetheless, especially when the old lady's dentures fall out.

Someone mentioned Crash. What disturbed me was seeing James Spader in the buff. Eww. That man should never, ever, be in any state of undress. He's icky.
In Trainspotting, when the baby crawled across the ceiling. Heh. When Leatherface slammed that huge steel door in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I was scarred for life. Shayamalan has done me in two times now. First, the boy in The Sixth Sense who wants to show Cole "where his dad keeps [his] gun." Then more recently the scene in Signs:
Any movie where an animal is killed gets to me everytime. The same with slow, sharp object induced deaths. For example, In Saving Private Ryan:
The Devil's Backbone and Frailty disturbed me a little too. |

Most disturbing film I have ever seen is hands-down, no doubt about it:
SALO - there are various scenes that are repulsive, but I defy anyone to make it through the Circle of Shit segment without their gag-reflex kicking in. Ohmygod - this film was burned into my brain for months after first seeing it. Dishonourable mentions: PINK FLAMINGOS - sex with a chicken? eating excrement? John Waters at his shocking best! THE VALACHI PAPERS - castration will do it to me everytime. THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, AND HER LOVER - various scenes offend - killing the writer by shoving pages of books down his throat with a wooden spoon, only to outdone by the cannibalistic ending. UN CHIEN ANDALOU - Luis Bunuel's early experimental film with Dali - famous for the eyeball slicing shot. ANDREI RUBLEV - the sacking and rape of Vladimir is pretty graphic - with the animals running around on fire really turning me off. RESERVOIR DOGS - friends, Romans, countrymen - lend me your ears! Beautiful use of the audience's imagination over a gruesome close-up. BRAVEHEART - not as bad as the others mentioned here - but a pretty good vivisection scene at the end. Tripe anyone? STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT - a needle in the eyeball. That always grabs my attention. SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW - early in the film a coroner proves a body is dead by inserting a needle into the eye. Works for me, but how does it look on the death certificate? THE FOURTH MAN - speaking of eyeballs - a lovely impaling sequence underscores the importance of 'keeping an eye out' for road hazards. THE EXORCIST - the vomit may seem tame after the release of JACKASS: THE MOVIE this fall, but it still packs a punch! ORDET - you don't see anything, but in a round-about way you find out how the labour went, and what happened to the baby. You see nothing, and it is not graphically described - yet it is one of the most horrible things I have witnessed on film. It really disturbed me. BEN HUR - the chariot race sequence where a stuntman was actually killed during the filming , and it was kept in the film. SE7EN - the starved victim in the room with all of the air fresheners. Once again, it is the description that makes the scene even more horrifying. And who can forget... WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY - those Oompa Loompas traumatized me early on - I'm still paying for therapy over that one!

Here's one i dont think anyone mentioned...
For some reason, the scene in The Devil's Advocate (the one with Al Pacino as satan) where Charlize Theron kills herself really disturbed me when I saw it a few years back. I haven't seen it since then but I remember being pretty freaked out by that when I was younger.

ok now i havent seen it myself but just reading and hearing Howard Stern's reaction to it was disturbing enough. it is from the movie Vulgar a movie that Kevin Smith actually gave money to making(how could he). i hear the movie is real bad but it has an extremely disturbing scene where the main character Vulgar the clown is Gang Raped by like 5 men for about 20 minutes of the movie!!! .
now if that isnt disturbing......i dont know what is |

Hmm...
First off, how could no one have mentioned The Thing yet??? Think the surgery scene with Doc, and when the guy's chest opens and the tentacle shit... frick, that grossed me out... Also, any of that hardcore-gore-anime shit - frick, that stuff freaks me out. What's even more disgusting is that illustrators in japan even dedicate entire manga's devoted to the eating and slashing of internal organs. I'd post a pic, but I'm scared of getting banned... think the Tetsuo scene in Akira when he imagines his organs are all falling out, only 2x as bad. I'll put in another vote for the "bite the curb" scene in American History X, along with the spider-walk scene in The Exorcist (Man, now that's innovation!). Finally, The Blair Witch Project. The reason why I voted it is because I was a frequent camper when I was younger, and to see this stuff on screen made me remember the days when I was a kid, hanging out with my friends with a flashlight in hand, keeping a lookout for monsters or bears. Camping trips were so creepy to me, and they left a permanent implant on me for a looooong time... |

I'm going with the scene in Ronin where the bullet is removed from DeNiro's character. I just skip past it.

Audition- the whole last hour, disturbing but strangely very very erotic.
Happiness- any of the scenes with the father interacting with children, his own son and the sons friend. Kingpin- on a lighter note, that ugly woman that Woody has to have sex with to avoid paying the rent. especially when she reappears in the rear view mirror. Planet of the Apes- the original film, with the statue of liberty. |

For me, the previously mentioned stabbing scene in Saving Private Ryan is at the top of the list (I still can't watch it again to this day & always skip it when I watch the DVD).
 I also find the Zed's "treatment" of Marcellus in Pulp Fiction to be quite disturbing.
