What was the most disturbing film you ever saw?
For me? Probably "Kids", "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer", "Man Bites Dog", "Killing Zoe", "Happiness"...I'll need to think of a few more.
The only movie which I found so disturbing that I couldn't watch it. The other movies that I'd have found disturbing are both by Lars Von Trier as well... Dogville and Dancer in the Dark.
I didn't find "Kids" very disturbing, nor "Killing Zoe". "Requiem for a Dream" wasn't exactly easy viewing. I also found "Death in Gaza" to be truly disturbing, due to the chilling truth revealed about the future for Palestine/Israel.

"Irreversible" - The only film I;ve never finished. Ignoring it's in French, is shot backwards in time, and is graphically violent, the rape scene is purely horrific. It just keeps getting worse and worse and it goes on and on and on, and I was thinking "stop....OK, stop now... OK, that's enough..." and it went on, and got worse... I found it pretty harrowing.
