Most disturbing movies?

One I saw just last week get's on my list now.

The Butterfly Effect - I hid under the covers when the mom and baby get blown to smithereens and the dog gets set on fire. Anyone see that yet? Yikes.

Seven - definitely.
Donnie Darko - I love it but it creeps me out.
Kids - definitely.
Requiem - for sure!
13 Ghosts - I had nightmares about that jackal ghost and it was a dumb movie.
and last but not least LOTR famed Director Peter Jackson's zombie flick, Dead Alive - all I got to say about that is ICK! Course I highly recommend every head should own his Meet the Feebles! Doesn't get much better than a walrus puppet assfucking a siamese cat puppet over a desk hahaha....

Lynch movies are the most disturbing ones I've ever seen.The whole atmosphere is so dark.He really has a disgusting sense of aesthetics ,his movies are a full-time psycho trip,completely weird.I've seen Lost highway three times and didn't understand it at all but it's great.Most of his characters/things in the movies are symbols (like the Mystery Man/Exploding House/the Tapes in Lost highway).Watching these movies is like reading a Kafka book ,makes you think till you get paranoid orbrain stew.

 

I fuckin' hate movies that don't let themselves be understood! They're fuckin' useless. Didn't Lynch also do that movie about the actress who has a car crash and has amnesia, and she has a lesbian affair with someone? I have no fuckin' idea what that movies was about, but at least it was boring.

P.S. I just looked it up -- it was "Mulholland Drive." What a fuckin' shitwipe of a movie -- don't ever waste your time or money watching it.

 

You are quickly becoming my opposite here Peaceful, I thought Mulholland Drive was great.

 

I know it was probably a sucky movie but I didn't bother to watch after the first scene in Ghostship. cut in half by wires? Yuck!


And I found the first Jeepers Creepers disturbing as hell but mainly because I watched it alone at about 2am. About an hour later, I was watching videos and that video came on, (what are the chances!) It was the same version that was playing on the car radio in the movie right before the thing came.

I will forever hate that song

 

Arachnophobia - I saw this when I was a kid and I just flipped out. I cannot watch that film again.

Blue Lagoon - I caught a glimpse of this when I was 13 (I was channel surfing) and it was pretty sick. I couldn't believe the sex scenes so I changed the channel. To this day, I cannot watch sex scenes in movies without feeling uncomfortable or nauseous.

Smiles of a Summer Night - This is a good Ingmar Bergman film but it's really messed up. I like "The Seventh Seal" much better

Dangerous Beauty - I was forced to see this for one of my history courses in college. I walked out or covered my eyes during the sex scenes.

Dangerous Liaisons - See answer for "Dangerous Beauty"

Passion of the Christ - As much as I love this film, it is disturbing and I'm not used to seeing that kind of gore in movies. Mel Gibson meant it to be realistic and I applaud him for that. However, it isn't for everyone. For those who are disturbed by gore, I suggest "The Greatest Story Ever Told" with Max Von Sydow.

Titus - I had to see this for a Shakespeare class in college. I do not want to see this film again. The gore was sickening and seeing Alan Cummings nude was so tramatic that I might need therapy.

Almost any movie featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" - For those of you who watched the show, you know what I'm talking about.

Triumph of the Will - I had to see this TWICE in college...once in a history of the Holocaust class and another time in another course on European history. I don't want to see it again because all that Nazi stuff bothers me and it freaks me out. But I'm afraid I might have to see it again in graduate school or something

Any movie featuring Jack Nicholson <sp?> - The guy freaks me out...nuff' said.

Cabaret - This movie was really weird. I had to see it for a senior AP English class in high school.

The first live action Scooby-Doo movie - Seeing all my favorite Scooby-Doo characters messed up like that is disturbing in itself. Sarah Michelle Gellar really messed up the character of Daphne Blake. I walked out in the last 20 min.

Hamlet (Kenneth Branagh's version) - I dunno...it was just messed up...LOL.

Birds - Alfred Hitchcock never ceases to scare the living daylights out of me.

Rebecca - The book was good, the movie was excellent but Mrs. Danvers is FREAKY!!

Zemlya (translates to "Earth") - This is a weird foreign, silent film that's in Ukranian with English subtitles. It's about Soviet farm collectivization and it's only creepy at the end of the movie. If you've seen it, you'll know why.

Birth of a Nation - I had to see this for a civil war history course. I don't want to see it ever again.

More to come....but I hardly ever watch really disturbing movies.

 

Deliverance........"Boy, I'm gonna make you squeel like a pig"......that scen just sticks out in my head....i just couldn't imagine getting ass-raped by some imbred while out fishing or whatever in the woods.....

 

Well, that reminds me to never rent Deliverance.

CW

 

There are some good movies named here...I saw someone mentioned Gummo (pretty disturbing) and Cabin Fever (stupid but the leg shaving scene killed me!) so I have a few of my own....

Wild at Heart was pretty disturbing, another David Lynch flick with Nicholas Cage, Laura Dern, Harry Dean Stanton, Dianne Ladd, Willem Dafoe, Crispin Glover...the list goes on but it is definitely one of my favorites

Altered States was a pretty neat flick...the dialogue is interesting but it gets pretty twisted!

Drugstore Cowboy with Matt Dillon...so cool!

Mystic River The ending really fucked me up.

And if anyone happens to remember this one....
It was a made-for-TV-movie called Special Bulletin, It was shot as if you were actually watching TV (with commercials and stuff) then they break in with an alert that terrorists were in Charleston, S.C. with a Nuke....chaos ensues and they actually set off the bomb and nuke Charleston...I was sooo freaked out I had nightmares, it was aired somewhere in the early to mid eighties if I remember correctly.

 

Butterfly Effect was pretty disturbing, though a tad cheesy. What do ya expect with Ashton Kutcher though?


Mystic River (I literally had my hands on my head going "OH MY GOD" for the entire last half of the movie)

Full Metal Jacket

Ghost Story (the only horror movie that scares me)

 

Oops! I forgot Donnie Darko!

 

Freeway 2 was, by far, the most disturbing movie I have seen. The first one is awesome. If you didn't see it, I recommend you do so..


Girl Interrupted was really hard for me to sit through, but that was for other reasons..

 

Hmm, it's odd that you should feel revulsion for that film, the whole point of it is that beauty can be found in the most ugly places and I thought he got the idea across really well, fair play some of the violence was over the top but that was all cut out for the american and european market so you probably wouldn't have seen that anyway (the nipple cutting scene etc.).

 

The rape scenes in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Monster" really disturbed me.

 

most disturbing movie ever has to be "Dude, Where's My Car"

 

Something tells me I should not to rent Monster. I thought the message (that everything we say and do has an affect on the lives of others) portrayed in The Butterfly Effect was great. I have to admit that the end of Mystic River was pretty messed up. The passion of the Christ was disturbing, but it's suppose to be. It is one of my favorites. I actually liked Ichi the killer. I found myself slightly attracted to Kakihara with his piercings and stitched up tongue after he sliced the tip off of it. :&



Thanks to JohnnyX and Christianwriter, I have quite a few movies to rent.

 

actually Maggie..this is how it would happen in real life...

It wouldnt! because I have never seen a prostitute that looks like Julia Roberts..and I doubt many johns pull up in Lotuses asking for help because they can't drive stick shift.

so it's ok to enjoy the movie because it is completely fiction!!

however for the record....there are several points in the movie when the dark side of prostitution is discussed and shown.

1.the dead hooker at the beginning of the movie
2.Stuckie's creepy comings-on at the polo field
3.Stuckie smacking the shit out of Vivian and calling her a whore.
4.A pimp at the beginning of the movie propositioning Vivian.
5.Vivian telling her sad story about how she came to be a hooker.

There were other references throughout the movie...so IMO, it didnt glorify prostitution. It was just a fictional tale of one unusually pretty hooker who got lucky...and landed the one decent and,unusually goodlooking, corporate salvager.

It was too farfetched to even be taken remotely seriously. I love this movie. My husband actually watches it too.



Back to the disturbing movie genre...two words...

Doom Generation.

eeee gads...I havent met a guy yet that didnt attempt to burn my copy after watching it.

 

Fight Club. Gotta be the quintessential search for

identity flick of today's male ego. I always despised

Neeche. He would have loved the film. Miserable

lunatic.

I loved that movie. I felt kind of sad for the guy at the end of the movie though.

 

Deliverance, that movie bothered me for a long time, I live in the hillbilly country and I know no one like that.. but I guess maybe people can live further out then I do.
