Both versions of "The Wickerman" are distrurbing. However, if you'd put the scariness of the 1973 release and the disturbing filming of the re-make, you'd have a movie i don't think anyone would watch, plus, the other thing that made it disturbing was the fact the women are all evil, but the best thing about the remake is that Sister Summerisle at the end looked like Gene Simmons from KISS with all that make-up on her face. Also "The Shining" is quite a disturbing film as its a psychological horror, (in other words, it messes with your mind) and you don't expect a member of your own family to become possesed by the ghosts of a hotel and try to kill you, do you? Also, the music score is disturbing, but that's what makes Stephen King a good writer. Another distrubing film is "Alien" as it was one alien against 7 people (although one turned out to be an android) and my ex-girlfriend nearly jumped out of her skin when the Captain of the "Nistromo" sees the alien stood next to him.

I think it's a little too easy to jump in with Schindler's List or any other film that's based on real events. Don't get me wrong, it's my favourite film ever, and I loved his portrayal of some utterly horrific events, but I'm going to be annoyingly purist here and say that a film-maker is more impressive in purely 'disturbing' terms if he can make a film that is scary IN AND OF ITSELF.
Therefore... I'd go for films that disturb you because of what they say about human beings, not films that are either a) based on real horrific events (like Schindler's List or Vietnam films) or b) using lots of scary special effects (like The Ring etc.).
I would go for: Dogville, American History X, OldBoy. Not necessarily in that order.

Anything with Andrew McCartney, like Pretty in Pink. Watching him makes me feel like a pedophile victim.
After that, definitely, "seven" is the most disturbing. It's like the filmmaker set out to show you just how awful a human being could be. That film took a piece of my soul and I never got it back.

Hostel. No question about it. When you have pure, 100% torture for 75% of the movie, it has to be the most disturbing. When the guy slits his victims achiles tendons and the guy trys to run away, that is just plain sick (but extremely amusing... heheheh).

Texas chainsaw massacre, hands down the old and the remake,just watching it was disturbing enough,but just the thought of knowing that actually happened,its almost to much.

The Piano
I had to stop watching it halfway through. The violence was horrible, it was degrading to women, and the writing just plain stunk.I felt the same way about Thelma and Louise. Yuck.
Schindler's List also, but atleast that was true and educational.

Kids (1995) with Chloe Sevigny. The last seen is downright aweful.
