Wow, unbelievable, when I read this thread's title, this is what the fist movie that came to my mind, I felt so stressed watching that movie, highly recommended.

Buried, by far.
Yep, I'm extremely claustrophobic and one scene in particular made me feel like I was having a panic attack and actually made me sweat profusely; I've never been more tense in a movie. The torture scene in Audition also made me extremely uncomfortable despite their not being much blood. The sheer glee and excitement she exhibits is what makes it so disturbing.

Yuuuuup.
Mikey is such a train wreck in Swingers and it's just pure agony watching him completely fumble his love life away.

For some reason I felt really stressed out watching The Manchurian Candidate (the Denzel Washington remake)
It was so just intense because I never knew what was going to happen next. Great movie though.

The Mist. Literally every scene is soaked in dread and frustration.

The Chaser, Cure.
I showed Rear Window to my Korean high school class and they were absolutely freaking during the whole movie, and especially at the end.
I think that is a huge testament to the atmosphere Hitchcock created. These are the kinds of kids that exclusively watch Transformers movies, you know?

Snowtown Murders is the most stressful and horrible movie I have ever seen. They don't even show that much killing on-screen, but the sense of dread throughout the whole movie is unnerving.
The Road was another one that stressed the hell out of me while watching. Almost makes me not want to get Last of Us because I don't want to go back to that kind of place and situation.

Misery. Both the novel and the film are very stressful.

I get this all the time. It's a pain.
As for most stressful movie moments, the first 10 minutes or so of 28 Weeks Later got me so bad that I ended up being on edge and really stressed out for the rest of the movie. If it wasn't for that first bit I don't think I would have been nearly as affected by the rest of it.

yes, that's what makes a movie classic: it transcends generations and tastes, becoming enjoyable by everyone
I've seen a lot of horror movies and nothing scared me as much as when James Stewart realizes the killer is coming for him. Scariest five minutes EVER

Are you me? I seriously can't deal with it whenever characters start doing cringeworthy stuff. Also, anything involving people fucking with eyes.

The Abyss - The drowning scene almost gave me a panic attack.

Audition is hard for me to watch, yet I love it!

Dogtooth. Jesus Christ that movie.
I couldn't really think of any off the top of my head, but this reminded me of one- The Thin Red Line. Specifically the middle portion of it with them advancing on that bunker in the hills. So incredibly intense, much more so than SPR in my opinion (both great movies).

I'm the same. I sometimes actually have to change the channel or leave the room when a particularly awkward or embarrassing moment occurs. Damn my overactive empathy!
8mm.
Generally it was a pretty average movie staring Nicholas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, and James Gandolfini. However, there is a scene near the end of the film in which Nicholas Cage is in a house. The scene is in a single take and the camera follows Cage as he walks up the stairs of the house looking for a guy who tried to murder him not long ago.
It was a beautifully shot scene and magnificently intense when taking the whole story into context.

This is a good one. Holy shit at some of those moments, especially when
he sees the girl pointing at the ring, then he looks over to see the guy looking, followed by him looking out the window right at him!
