Hands down, Requiem for a Dream. That movie is so good but can only really be watched once.
Same with Kids. Perfect execution of a theme so awful I never want to go near it again.
Yeah I did watch it again during the pandemic for the first time in many many many years. Still a big NOPE film.
ASS TO ASS!
Also the scene where Jared Leto’s friend is shooting up makes my skin crawl.
The ending scene for the mother is what gets me every time.

The french original of Martyrs. That movie really lived in my head for some days.
I think you should see it without knowing anything.
Just be sure that you can handle some fucked up shit.
Came here for martyrs, most of it is still burned into my brain.
I was going to watch it again, and then I was like I’m pretty sure I can remember this exactly from beginning to end still.
Grave of the fireflies
Even worse, it’s based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie’s ending)
It’s on my rewatch list since it’s been about twenty years, but I still can’t bring myself to doing so.
Same. It’s my favorite Ghibli film, but I have to get myself in the right headspace to be broken by it again.
Hmmm ok never heard of this one. Will have to add it to the list.
It’s an incredible movie. I’m not sure how much you should know before going in, but I’ll say this: Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s animated - by the same studio as “My Neighbor Totoro”. (The two movies played as a double feature because not showing something lighthearted after Grave of the Fireflies would have been criminal negligence.) And the other comments are right - It’s not something you’re likely to be able to watch again anytime soon.
A Serbian Film.
OP said best fucked up, not just fucked up.
I think the most disturbing scene for me was actually the ending, made me feel more sick than the baby scene.
I’ve never seen it but fuck Human Centipede. I read it on Wikipedia and it still fucked me up
Oh you gotta watch it once. It is preposterous in the best way.
A friend told me about it in all of its grotesque details. I was a bit scared for her after that and wondered if she was right in her mind.
Brazil (1985, Terry Gilliam)
Green Room
Probably The Mist, just based on the ending. I still think about it to this day
The Road. That’s the most depressing film I’ve ever watched.
Yeah it’s totally fucked up and leaves you sad and angry. Never gonna rewatch it.
Hereditary
Happiness - Todd Solondz
It’s the dark, seedy, perverted underbelly of the American dream, equal parts funny and creepy, and brilliantly cast and acted.
This was the first movie I thought of too! I saw it when it was released in an art house theatre. I didn’t know much about it, and apparently most of the audience didn’t either. Once the film got to that scene where the guy buys a teen boy magazine and climbs into the back of the car to…you know….a bunch of people just got up and walked out!
Yeah… that’s the first moment when the mask starts to slip, and you realize you’re in for something entirely different than what it initially appeared to be.
Came here to say this one. I really want to revisit this one as it’s been prob close to 20 years since my first viewing.
Triangle, it’s a little known film that I have on my NAS and finally saw it one day. I won’t say much about it, but see it.
Spoilers:
I’ve watched this multiple times, and you begin to notice new things each time. For example, when the loop resets for the first time, the yacht appears on the other side of the cruise ship, indicating there is a second loop.
Also, watching the intro scene again after seeing the end explains our protagonists confused behaviour.
Ichi the killer
“Midnight Cowboy”: great performances, great writing, profound ending, never want to watch it again.
