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.
Midsommar
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.
Brazil (1985, Terry Gilliam)
Haven't seen it but, being Brazillian, I'd say Brazil (2023) is just as fucked up
Grave of the fireflies
Even worse, it's based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie's ending)
Itβs on my rewatch list since itβs been about twenty years, but I still canβt 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.
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.
Green Room
Probably The Mist, just based on the ending. I still think about it to this day
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.
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 didnβt know much about it, and apparently most of the audience didnβt either. Once the film got to that scene where the guy buys a teen boy magazine and climbs into the back of the car toβ¦you knowβ¦.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 itβs been prob close to 20 years since my first viewing.
Hereditary
Hobo With a Shotgun
The Road. That's the most depressing film I've ever watched.
Yeah itβs totally fucked up and leaves you sad and angry. Never gonna rewatch it.
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.
"Midnight Cowboy": great performances, great writing, profound ending, never want to watch it again.
Ichi the killer

I don't know if I would call it best, but the most emotionally scarring and draining movie I have ever seen was Irreversible.
Irreversible
Gummo, Man bites dog, Bad boy Bubby,
bubby got pizza for cat
Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father.
That's a rough one.
oldboy
Grave of the Fireflies. A masterpiece that canβt be seen more than once.
Man, war is fucked upβ¦
