What is the most disturbing Movie you've ever seen?

There are many out there, which one takes the cake?

I watched with my brother one Sunday afternoon about a nuclear attack on England. Society collapses, and the children born to survivors can't even speak English. The movie ends with the daughter of a survivor giving birth to a dead, deformed baby. The worst part is a melting cat in the street during the attack, and the government officials suffocate in a bomb shelter.

It's not available on DVD in the US, but you can see most of it in clips on youtube.; ▶ Reply to This

Soldier's Girl . I saw it on cable and had no idea what it was about when I began watching it. It was several years ago but it still upsets me.

Jasper, Texas - I had read the news reports on this one and even knowing what it was about it stunned me.

These are both 5 star movies for the way the stories were told and I think every adult should see them.; ▶ Reply to This

Totally abhorrent and had to turn off after 15 min.; ▶ Reply to This

I have a tendancy to see a lot of films that are disturbing to others, some of them mentioned in the thread, but this I think tops them all.; ▶ Reply to This

Closet Land

This made such an impact on me when it came out; it played a huge role in changing how I see the world and my political leanings. Alan Rickman is amazing in this role. Produced by Amnesty International, it is simply a political prisoner and her questioner.; ▶ Reply to This
