Wow! Great list! All it's missing is a few Tarantino titles, as well as "Scum", "ExistenZ" and a few others, and you're there!KneeLord said:
Nothing disturbing about that. In fact, I thought it would make an awesome screensaver!toastybuds said:
Pan's Labyrinth, where the nazi commander beats a guys face in with a bottle. You actually see his face cave in.
In 28 Weeks Later when the
(It happens early in the film but I'll put spoilers up anyway)

The whole of the first chapter of Inglourious Basterds. Christoph Waltz is just pure creepy (maybe slightly charming).
In District 9:
Somehow the flashback in First Contact used to disturb the hell out of me, where you see the Borg sticking a needle in Picard's eye, but, the District 9 shit has taken that prize.
MAYBE some of the murders from Se7en might be in the running, but District 9 is the first time I've actually shuddered in the theater.
When Van de Mewe starts mutating, and is in the bathroom pulling off his fingernails. Though, really each stage of his mutation is pretty fuckin' disturbing.

I know I might be missing the point a bit here, but you can't see your kids murdered if you're eyeballs have been melted... just a point...Haunted Serenity said:
I thought the bit where Neo's mouth disappeared was pretty freaky, made me cringe. Not the worst one I've seen, but closest I can remember. I guess Final Destination's full of them.
The Brain Bug scene in Starship Troopers.
In Saving Private Ryan when Mellish gets pinned to the ground and stabbed in the heart. I always fast-forward through that scene.

I have to say, torture porn movies don't disturb me, they just irritate me. It's just brainless, lazy gore and blood. Lets stick/slice/insert/shoot/ignite/launch pain inducing object X into body part Y, rinise repeat. It's not disturbing, it's juvenile and talentless drivel.
There's only been one moment in a film that has truly disturbed me, and it was in Lady Vengeance. Part of the vengeance "trilogy", if it can be called that, which included Oldboy. Though none of the three films are related in plot in anyway, they're all directed by the same guy.
The scene I'm referring to is when the parents watch the video that proves Lasy Vengeance was innocent, by showing the guilty culprits self-filmed video of the act. At the moment of horror, I though it would cut away, but it didn't. It was n'tgory, bloody or visually disturbing, but when they actually showed it I just felt violated. I remember feeling so numb for the remainder of the film, completely unable to get over what I had seen, the idea of it really, really got to me and I think it's something I will always remember.
When the parents sat around a table and one of the fathers said, "An angel is passing over" it was the first time I'd cried watching a film in my entire life. It's a french saying, "Un ange passe", it is said when a group of people suddenly go silent for no reason, and it is said at those moments an angel is passing from the room to heaven, and it was a beautiful, incomparably sad moment, but perfectly done.
A brilliant, brilliant bit of cinema.
