Movies that make you feel uncomfortable?

After some of the shit I've seen, I guess I've become highly desensitized or something. Most of the recommendations on here don't really register anymore.

Outside of the obligatory Ichi the Killer (sort of), Oldboy (probably), Requiem for a Dream (for sure/definitely), and Salo (haven't seen yet, but will in a few days, and I hear it is definitely difficult to watch), this thread mostly sucks honestly.

Props to the people who said Inside and Irreversible. Those definitely belong. Honestly, you could probably put/pick any film out of the New Wave of French Horror of the past/current generation and add it to the list. For me, I was going to say Inside, my most recent film that made me feel uncomfortable, but to keep the list fresh and add something new, I will just say Martyrs. That is one fucked up film, especially the latter 1/3-2/3 of the film where it strips away any semblance of plot or story and transforms wholly into a torture film/porn epic. Some of the most disgusting shit I've ever seen.

Also, I enjoyed the film overall, but I guess to a certain degree, Teeth, left me disturbed. I guess it's just the whole girl with a ravenous vagina that bothered me.

Also, I haven't seen it yet, but the word on the street is that A Serbian Film is highly graphic/gory/extreme/etc. and is the new bar to see how well you can stomach film.
 
I have a feeling that this thread will just turn into (and seems to already have) who is the biggest tough guy w/ a big epenis.

But for me it was Puppy Baby Murder 3 - it's just 2 hours of murdering puppies and babies. It was whatever, I watched it while eating a steak.

lmfao
 
Marley and Me. for reals.

Edit: on a serious note: Sublime. fucking awesome if I remember correctly, but my stomach just dropped at one point.
 
Most recently, this one:

CAG_79 definitely hit it on the head. Martyrs is truly fucked up. The last half/portion of the film, while showing some philosophical and metaphorical significance, is still one of the most disturbing things I've seen in film that has legitimately feel uncomfortable.
 
Beloved is another movie that had alot of uncomforatable moments. theres the rape/breast milk part, oprah taking a hard piss part and the part where she gets butt naked with danny glover. oh yeah the reincarnated ghost rape part was weird too.

Prescious was also a very harsh movie to watch could only watch it once and never again.

oh yeah and The Road. most depressing damn movie ever really makes you wonder if thats what things would be like if society fell apart.
 
lars von trier movies put me and my wife both in a pretty weird state of mind for about 24 hours after watching.
 
The first time I watched Clockwork Orange definitely had an impact on me.
Violence I can take, but gritty rape scenes hit me hard.

Can't wait to re-watch it in ethics class.
 
To all those people who said Hard Candy, yes that movie is definitely up there on the disturbing meter. The "castration scene" was way uncomfortable.

The Pedophile scene in Running Scared also was very disturbing.

However the one movie I am surprised no one has mentioned yet is The Last House on the Left 2009 remake. I mean dear god, the entire first hour of the film is
the girl being tortured and raped and her friend being stabbed to death.
Spoiler incase anyone actually still wanted to see it.

Yeah it takes a couple viewings to be able to not focus just on what is going on in the movie, its to easy to see the movie just as a disgusting and horribly perverse film. Its the underlying theme in the movie though that caught my interest as it was a personified example of just how bad the human spirit can be corrupted when they are given to much power and to much freedom to indulge in anything they want.
 
I would have to say "I Spit On Your Grave". The uncut version has something like 2-25 minutes of rape and violence involving 4 guys and one woman. Not to mention the bathtub scene. *shudder*.

Teeth was uncomfortable, but that's a given for any guy watching it I suppose.
 
Requiem for a Dream is probably my favorite movie, but I had no idea what the hell I was getting into with the trailer for The Human Centipede and didn't really eat for a day after it.

Mysterious Skin and Audition were both hard to watch because of their exploitative endings. I turned Audition off during the kiri-kiri-kiris, even though those would make an awesome ringtone for a stalky ex.

Torture scenes need justification to make sitting through them worthwhile. Otherwise, they feel like the product of an imaginative middle-schooler with a budget. "If she wants the key, now she'll have to chew off a DOG PENIS. But she raised the dog from a PUPPY." Yeah. Is she also vegan?

It's possible there's some twist at the end of Audition that makes it worthwhile and I'm just missing out, but the movie began feeling ridiculous around when her prisoner was lapping up her vomit. I guess that's a spoiler?

Oldboy, otoh, justifies all of its rougher spots and is amazing. Fat Girl, otooh, fails so hard at what it tries to do that it could be redeemed only with a 4chan commentary track.

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the hardest for me to watch, but for all of the right reasons.

i love that movie one of the best anime ive ever seen.
 
Leon the Professional

I saw the "americanized" version in theaters and it kind of had that weird creep pedo vibe but the "uncut" international version was full out weird. Pity because Leon is such a badass. I guess they want you to sympathize with him as some unloved immigrant that sacrifices himself for his love...but she was like 12...and the love was not in a daughter/father way. The movie just had that...odd...vibe to it. Some of those scenes I was like...NO LEON YOU IDIOT!!

Great movie, just a bit uncomfortable to watch that first time.
 
There was a Nicole Kidman movie from a few years ago where she thinks some 6yr old boy is her reincarnated dead husband, so she's in the tub naked with him, kissing him on the lips, all that. It was really disgusting.

Also, I found Clockwork Orange to be too much with the rape and language, and I'm far, far from a puritan.

Disgusting? That's fucking awesome!

Similar to Grave of the Fireflies is Barefoot Gen. I watched it as a kid and I had never seen a cartoon like it. It's an old anime (based on an even older manga) about the Hiroshima A-bomb. It's from the viewpoint a boy who ends up surviving the blast. It wasn't so much disturbing as it was emotional.
 
Irreversible.
Any of the Isla of the SS movies.
The Fourth Kind.
Gozu.

yeah watch these movies.. Fourth kind is tame compared to the others.
