I've only seen Antichrist and Dogville. Need see more now.
And now that I've read the entire thread...
Dogville might be the single most disturbing experience I've been privy to since reading The Satanic Verses. Both qualify as mindfuck, no gore required. Love both with all my essence.
Oldboy, Martyrs, and Jesus Camp. Yep, those all qualify. Oldboy still has the best fight scene I've witnessed. Lady Vegeance isn't nearly as good BUT is more disturbing. Jesus Camp made me almost as pissed off as The Corporation did. Had to drink to make it through that one.
Martyrs is a perfect balance of gore and psychological trauma. Excellent flick.
The Shining and Rosemary's Baby. Classic fuckedupedness.
Ichi the Killer and Battle Royale I both love, but don't consider either one disturbing. Great, but funny in a lot of ways. If I'm laughing, that takes the edge of disturbing off for me.
Inland Empire is either Lynch's worst or best film, I still can't decide. I like Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive the most, but love them all really.
