Clicked expecting to add Irreversible, found it in the OP
A Serbian Film: I would genuinely suggest not watching this film, it's grotesque and vile beyond any plot or reason.
Martyrs: A great, if hard film to watch. It's brutal, mean, and the ending is just nihilistic as shit
1984: "I learned to love Big Brother"
Brazil: You have to see the European ending though, the US one was butchered to give everyone happy feels instead of the dread of the original cut.

Oh, yeah, Requiem for a Dream probably did more to curb drug use than any amount of War on Drugs. The scene with the Grandma in the waiting room is farrr too real *shudder*

It's not a scary movie and it's not a gross movie.
But it's one of the most "dreadful" movies I've ever watched, and you will leave with feeling of absolute melancholia that will last for a while. The movie just fucking oozes it and it's in a league of it's own.

I watched Gozu in a film class.
For me, it's mostly curiosity. I admire the effects as well. After all, none of these things are real, so a lot of it for me is looking at how they did certain effects. I think some of these films go too far, but I think there is value in all types of film experiences, not just the ones that make you feel great at the end.
If someone says, "this made me sick" or "this was the most disgusting thing I've seen" I typically want to know if I feel the same. Sometimes I regret watching certain things, but more often than not I find some redeeming value in watching most any film or documentary.
Videos/films that portray real death are far more difficult for me but its still not anything like watching someone actually die, which I have unfortunately seen a few times as well. I don't understand people who delight in watching real death. I can understand the curiosity perhaps, but someone who collects videos or delights in rekt threads on 4chan is beyond me.
I would have to say that the worst one I've seen recently was How to Survive a Plague, a documentary on the AIDS-crisis in the 80's. There are no really graphic scenes in it or anything, but I was disturbed at just how far conservatives were willing to go in trying to delay development of a treatment or sabotaging organised aid to suffering areas. And all because it mostly targeted "the Gays". They had a chance to actually stop the spread of HIV in the early years, but chose instead to practically encourage it until millions of people were dying. Reagan and everyone involved in his administration were absolute soulless monsters.

Everything about it is super unnerving and uncomfortable. My girlfriend, who is hard to freak out since she's such a big horror buff, really gets affected by this movie. Quite badly.

Fair enough.
Although we disagree a bit on the third one, it's always nice to meet someone who is good at watching movies.

Eraserhead
now im intrigued, what even am i looking at
Audition (By the same director) also works, but at least that one is a good film. This is just trashy sadism. There are more rape attempts than I care to count, the worst sadism, fucked up portrayal of mental illness... It's drenched in ignorance and child-like mentality and I didn't enjoy it at all.
There is absolutely no way that this movie can be even half as deranged as the Manga
I saw Meshes of the Afternoon on the big screen with the sound cranked. Scared me half to death. The screen was large enough and I was sitting close enough that it filled my entire vision and it felt just like being in a dream I couldn't wake from. I was extremely tired when watching it, which probably didn't help.

It's probably not that scary, but watching it how I did...it disturbed me and left me feeling weird and creeped out for like hours afterwards.
It's only 13 minutes long. It's really interesting too. Best effect is to have headphones on or turn your volume up. The sound really matters.

I watched that movie as a confused teen, and there was one scene in particular where Nick Stahl's character
No surprise that it's directed by Larry Clark.

Well, you're looking at a "baby", but no one except David Lynch and a few other people know how it was made and they won't tell. So it's still the biggest mystery surrounding Lynch.

I've not seen Audition, but Ichi the Killer was definitely a hard movie to watch. Over a few viewings, though, I kinda taught myself to enjoy it, since it's not just gore-porn. It is really is meant to be a live representation of the manga, which also happens to be pretty messed up, of course. Kinda helps me absorb some of the over the top violence to the point of being comical. Ichi himself is kinda boring, but Kakehara owns the movie.

Your teacher should be fired. What a terrible movie. Visitor Q as well.
Audition and his thing in Three Extremes were his only good horror/thriller work as far as I'm concerned. Ichi was just a bad comedy.
Kids was incredibly fucked up, but I kinda admired how strongly it made you not want to be anything like those characters if you were their age while watching it and IMO it should be shown in high school sex ed classes.
There are certain scenes in Game of Thrones that I can't watch again. Red Wedding, the creepy shit between relatives, Oberyn vs. The Mountain, rape scenes, deaths of dogs, etc
Even though Badlands isn't necessarily shocking enough to be horrific, something about how the movie's main characters are portrayed in a beautiful and unjudgmental way during their murder spree unsettles me more than most movies about serial killers that DO try to be shocking. Way too bleak and sad to be enjoyable, but I respect it.
I can't think too much about this without getting depressed so I'll leave it at that.

The premise of the class was watching "bad" movies and looking for the good qualities. Sounds like he was doing what he was paid to do.

Martys (not the dumb remake of course), is definitely up there, though for the obvious reasons. Seeing the lead character being tortured almost made me puked.

Oh that's actually kinda cool then. Teacher redeemed.
What was the redeeming quality? The end part where the dude got a ladle up his ass? Or the "coming out"?

I think it was partially the gay subtext and partially the allusions to Japanese and Greek mythology. I don't remember specifically what.
Although, yeah, that ladle shit was fucking gross.

I haven't searched the thread so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Mommy dead and dearest, which is streaming on Hbo, is my pick, not only because it's real, but because it's so well made. If you haven't seen it, please do......

Vincent D'Onofrio plays a guy who kidnaps and rapes multiple women through some years, all while using the child of one of the kidnapped girls as basically a servant who, who cleans, burys, and has to memorize information on the women who were raped and murdered. Just a very weird vibe overall that covers many topics such as rape, murder, incest, kidnapping, etc, even a somewhat surprise twist ending.

The Day After
It's a very understated depiction of life after a nuclear war, which makes it much more disturbing than the usual Mad Max-type stuff, imo.

Vinegar and baking soda.
The baby itself, not the foam.
Just looks like a practical effect to me? Not sure what's so enigmatic about it.
Incredible...exactly like a real baby.
Well, I watched it for the first time last night. A pretty bad film but wasn't nearly as gross or disturbing as some of you guys make it out to be. I was laughing most of the way through it honestly. If you wanna see a couple of gross movies that will REALLY fuck you up check out Return of the Masked Fetus, or Bones Brigade III: The Search for Animal Chin.
