There are others such as The Sound of Music and My Little Pony  :wink: but these should do for now.

Can't remember the name of this movie, but I once saw a film where a woman attempted to kill herself by shoving a handful of fishing hooks up her hoohaa and then ripping them out.

Agreed: that one didn't disturb me but I felt quite depressed after seeing it.

Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl (1998) is horrifyingly depressing and sad.

Unbreakable (2000) Although it's a great movie, the atmosphere it creates is very disturbing.

The Beyond (1980) I haven't seen it but the trailer disturbs me.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer stuck with me for a while. It was one of those films where, when it ends, you say "OK, that was good... but I don't ever want to see it again."

Maniac (1980)

I have to agree with both of those. Yet I watched them again.

I could say the same for the TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978).

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
GERMANIA ANNO ZERO 
TWO WOMEN
LA DOLCE VITA


and two dishonorable mentions:

LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT 
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE
 

I was disturbed by the opening sequence of WILD AT HEART

I've heard good things about this. I reckon I need to see it.

It's probably not what you think.  GERMANY YEAR ZERO is the title in English (it's 1948, Italian Neorealism).  It is extraordinarily powerful; not violent, not gory, but, shocking.

Haha that’s how I felt about The Elephant Man.

I think I’m way too desensitized to movies to be really disturbed by anything. Things like the Elephant Man might bum me out. I guess Men Behind the Sun was pretty creepy since they used real cadavers for scenes and the child murder scene is again quite sad. But nothing that’s going to like psychologically scar me or anything like that.

LONG WEEKEND (1978)

This one. Never seen a film with a more tense and claustrophobic atmosphere, which just builds and builds. It's a very low-key film, but so intense.

I got semi-disturbed by ROSEMARY'S BABY, DEEP RED, AMEEICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, and THE BROOD the first time I saw them.

When I was in high school, I went to see ANTHROPHAGUS for the first time.
It bothered me so bad I walked out halfway through!
Saw it again, years later, on VHS and it barely creeped me out a little.

When I first saw BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1925) it disturbed me.
So yeah- I know what you mean.

yeah quite tame by today's standards

the quasi-sequel ABSURD is better imo. and more disturbing!

Both movies had some shocking scenes, but for the most part- just plain boring.

When I saw Vampira in a clip from PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) on the opening of Chiller Theater in 1968- it f**ked me up. She scared the s**t out of me.

I don't know how anyone ever considered The Wizard of Oz a kids' show when I've always thought it was utterly disturbing.

Never been able to enjoy surreal movies. Even Alice in Wonderland disturbs me a bit, whereas strangely brutal violence tends not to (unless it involves kids).

I felt exactly the same way about HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.  Decades passed before I watched it again.  I remembered it accurately.  It's excellent, unusual, hugely depressing, and DISTURBING.  Really, a great but impossible to recommend film.  

GERMANIA ANNO ZERO

BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN is a great film.  I think you could compare BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN with GERMANIA ANNO ZERO, but it's not a War film; it's a post-War film, like, post apocalypse...  it's about a family trying to survive... cinematic downer.  You won't forget it, once you've seen it.

Matewan is another movie that disturbed me. My next door neighbor when I was a kid was from West Virginia and that incident, the massacre and the coal company wars, made a deep impression on her life. I watched the movie with her (the second time I saw it) and asked her opinion and she said the culture was right, the portrayal of the miners living as slaves in all but name to government-backed companies that were like crime empires. Moreso than anyplace I can think of (even Texas) Appalachia is a country within a country to this day. Just a disturbing but well-made film.

The TV movies Baffled, Crowhaven Farm and Something Evil scared the crap out of me.

There's also two scenes in two non horror films which disturbed me: the interrogation scene with the human head in Gorky Park and the little girl with the bleeding teddy bear in Still of The Night.  :buggedout: :buggedout:

''Never let me go''

A very disturbibg movie about human being literally reduced to resources to be consumed by the rich and quietly accepting it instead of fighting it. A terrible movie for today's world and a vgery disturbing one given it's message.
