The Fly...
Jeff Goldblum falling to pieces(LITERALLY) while trying to drag Geena Davis into the other pod
When he looks into the mirror and all kinds of ***** is falling off his face
Him barfing on the food and sucking it back up
Then barfing on dudes leg
Right at the end, as he lifts the barrel of the shot gun over his head, hinting at Geena davis to shoot him there, the sounds he makes as if he's crying for death and just can't wait to be left for dead.
Creepshow:
Stephen King, covered in grass, asking God to let him get something in his life right, just this once, then blowing himself to pieces. The way they made him look was truly disturbing.

How about the murder of the family in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer? Even more disturbing than that was the fact that the two guys taped it and then watch it over and over again because they are bored. Of course the ending is disturbing as well.

I thought A Clockwork Orange was the most disturbing film I ever saw. Of course, that could just because I was about 8 when I saw it. This is a film that no one under 18 should see. Maybe even 21. Scarred me for life.

In any case, Salò is also very disturbing, and before somebody mentions 8mm, I'd like to point out that the Spanish film Tesis, which also deals with snuff movies (and in a considerably more intelligent manner, too), has a lot more disturbing scenes.

Another that really disturbed me in some ways was American Movie....so depressing and funny at the same time....
As for those complaining about Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson - all I can say is that I hope none of you ever grow old....y'all need to lighten up a little
And I suspect that whenever I get to see it, Irreversible will be towards the top of this list as well.....

wow, your parents were pretty lax.
the difference between the ages of 8 and 11 is quite a bit.
The hanging cage scene in SotL was pretty disturbing.

These threads are always fun...
Peter Greene's self-mutilation in Clean, Shaven.
The end of Eraserhead, the most disturbing PG film ever released.
Dennis Hopper's "love scene" with Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet. I saw this in the theatre in 1986 during the rub-a-dub-dub Reagan era, when it was 10 times more shocking when compared to the general cinema fare at the time.
Audition is very disturbing, but I found the

. This movie is guaranteed to raise your blood pressure, one way or another.
The last half of Straw Dogs.
Boys Don't Cry, A Clockwork Orange, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre all have their share of stomach-turning scenes. I distinctly recall being shaken up when leaving the theatre after seeing Boys Don't Cry.
...but I always have to give the brass ring to Happiness. Todd Solondz trumps decades of cinema transgression with a quiet scene of a father and a son talking alone in a room. It's disturbing because the scene is so true to the characters, their personalities and their relationship.

It's weird, there's a movie that I remember seeing and being completely freaked out by, thinking "Wow, I can never watch that again" and now I can't remember the film...
