Funny Games - the U.S. remake was pretty good but the (German?) original was better.
Weirdest, most chilling, most ****ed up film you've seen?

First film I thought of when I saw the thread title was Martyrs so not surprised to see it getting a few mentions. Definitely an "experience" watching that film. Brilliant but a tough watch.
Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive by David Lynch too, although not so much disturbing as just weird and dreamlike. Again, brilliant films.

The Emperor of the North, Robert Aldrich's 30s Depression period piece in which genial hobo Lee Marvin tries to put one over on psycho train boss Ernest Borgnine by hitching a ride on his jealously guarded train.
It belongs here purely because I've never seen a movie in which the cast appeared to be (or actually were) in such constant danger: jumping on and climbing around on moving trains, running along the carriage roofs etc.
Truly terrifying.

Grotesque
Eraserhead
Necromantik 1 & 2
Traces of Death (not Faces)
Anti-Christ
Irreversible - (the rape scene I had to fast forward)
I think a film called La interieor, not sure if that's the name but involves a pregnant woman and a nutcase trying to steal the unborn.
Philosophy of a Knife is the latest one i've seen. I got hold of it after reading a thread on here which mention Squadron 731, a Japanese set up during the war that done some very nasty shit.
I was curious and interested to learn more so got the film, it's an artists depiction and pretty sick, not seen it all.

Is my memory deceiving me, or does someone in that quite literally end up half the person they used to be following a certain incident between a train and some tracks? If so, I do remember being quite shocked by that at the time, especially given when the film was made too (although it would have been nothing new of course, what with Catch-22 having got there first even earlier).
Robert Aldrich's a good general example for this thread; all his films are pretty gruelling stuff which were envelope-pushing in their time, not necessarily in terms of any explicit scenes or content but quite relentless in assaulting the senses in other ways, particularly psychologically. Even as ostensibly innocuous a subject for a plot as 'A Wedding' doesn't exactly make for pleasant, comfortable viewing in his film of the same title.

The Piano Teacher (there's a BJ scene and then the woman throws up-it's vile)

Both french films, not that, has anything to do with it but they're still films with a disturbing story and characters.

Header. Nasty...!
I wouldn't put Inside or Martyrs in the same league of unpleasantness as Salo. Both French films are simply too superb.
Inside is completely OTT and has a cracking visceral denouement. Martyrs is one of the most interesting ideas executed on film I've seen in recent years. I love what the old woman does and how she does it at the end. Viva La France!
Salo is, as many have observed, disturbing shit and barely worth watching. That Japanese one Groseque is in the same category but does not even even have the saving grace of being vagely interesting.

I don't think a movie has been mentioned that I've actually seen yet 
This thread certainly has got my curiosity juices flowing, though.
While I'm here, you may be able to help me.
I remember seeing a clip from a movie. It was only about a 30 second clip but the realism was quite disturbing. A few months later a friend told me about how disturbing a film he had seen had been and it turned out to be the same film.
I think it was in subtitles and revolved around 2 men (I think it was 2) who had broken into a house and were holding a family hostage. I know it's not much to go on but it's all I can remember. I'd be interested to know what it was and if it should be in this thread.

Mutilation does seem to be his trademark: bisected hobo, arm off (in "Attack"), something unseen but nasty in "Kiss Me Deadly".
"A Wedding" is by Robert Altman, not Robert Aldrich, although it does have an unexpected scene of violence.
