Most disturbing movie ever ?

There was a thread about "House Of Sand and Fog" and somone called that a "disturbing movie".

Well, I recently watched "Funny Games" of director Michael Haneke and, while I don't exactly get easily fazed, I found that movie to be the most extraordinarily disturbing spectacle I have ever witnessed.

Incidentally, there's very little onscreen blood or violence in it. But I challenge anyone to see it and walk away unaffected.

I've actually never seen either of those, but the most disturbing movie I've ever seen is "Seven."

Se7en, as someone else pointed out, and it's not close.

I didn't talk to anyone for 4 days after seeing that movie. I didn't say a word.

What about Dee Snyder's Strangeland with Amy Smart. Also 8mm was kind of disturbing.

I liked the movie a lot, and agree that it's powerful. But it never affected me like Seven did.

Maybe it's because I can't relate to drugs like some people can, but I do see a lot of people that I think would be a lot like the "bad guy" in Seven if they were men of action.

I am actually a huge fan of disturbing movies. To me, the most disturbing films I've seen have been documentaries.

"Chicken Hawk"--about NAMBLA/pedophiles

Honestly, I think I win. Has anyone seen any of these?

"Hated"--about GG Allin, legendary punk rock psychopath (interestingly enough, directed by Todd Phillips, who later went on to direct "Old School," "Road Trip," and "Starsky and Hutch.")

"The Gift"-about people who voluntarily transmit and contract HIV

"Whole"--about people who are into voluntary amputation
