I usually don't feel too dirty after watching a film, but the one that comes to mind is The Last House on the Left. I blind bought it watched it once and feel a little embarassed to display it on my shelf.

A movie that LITERALLY made me feel dirty was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. It wasn't so much "disturbing" but I felt so grimy after watching it I felt I needed a shower.

Pretty Baby

For as well made and well acted as it is, a nude Brooke Shields (at 13) kind of makes me feel like a perv.

The extreme close-up of a newly constructed vagina (From what used to be a penis) reacting to pleasure is a sight that I've never been able to get out of my mind

August Underground/August Underground's Mordum
Irreversible
I Stand Alone
Kids
Guinea Pig: Flower Flesh and Blood

Other than the August Underground films, I had originally gone through these films knowing little to nothing about them.

Out of all of the films Kids was the only film to genuinely make me upset. My girlfriend had bought the movie when we first started dating and we watched it together. I believe it was about 20 minutes into the movie that I got up and left the room.

Kind of odd that I reacted that way to Kids since I'm a big Exploitation fan. If anything it was part of what sauce07 mentioned as well as the tone and dialogue throughout the 20 minutes of the film I saw. Just upsetting and uncomfortable.

The Traces of Death pig footage is old military test footage. Pig skin is the closest thing to human skin.

Maybe about 1 hour and a half of torture.
2 hours of the interview/documentary footage.
1 hour of "Storyline".

Big exploitation fan here too who can stomach stimulated gore & violence. But I agree that Larry Clark's work always seems to push the "Ewww" button for me.

I saw Last House on the Left at a horror marathon many years ago and I literally had to walk outside afterwards, then go wash my hands.

Haven't seen the movie version, but I read the book a couple of years ago and it really made me uncomfortable. I sometimes see the book stacked in my closet and it's like I'm afraid to even touch it.

The film that comes to mind for me is Andreas Schnaas' Zombie Doom. I lost my appetite for two days after watching that piece of gore crap.

Did we really need to see a man get his spine pulled out through his anus?

All 3 or 4 times I've seen this movie, it made me feel uneasy.

It's about as inhuman as anything I have seen, virtually on a par with the soul-shredding video of the Russian soldier being beheaded by Chechen rebels.
EDIT: I agree with Leechboy.

I'll bet it was a Burn research film they used. I saw a film like this years ago and I think it may have been Military Research. I guess with no context it would seem even more cruel than it already is. Anyway, according to science Pig skin is apparently very close to Human skin.

I don't know that they made me feel physically dirty but I was unsettled by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The Last House on the Left and Funny Games US.
