Thoughts?

I for one don't think the first 5 are nearly as disturbing as the next 20 listed. And most disturbing would have to be Begotten IMO.

I would have to disagree because I didn't find Begotten all that disturbing as a whole. Sure the first 10 minutes are pretty messed up, but the movie kind of falls from there.

The movies I wouldn't have put on this would be: Blue Velvet, The Last House on the Left and the Human Centipede. While all are definitely unnerving in their own right, I feel they fall short of "top most disturbing".

There are a few movies on this list I have yet to see, so I can't comment on them, but I do agree with some of the ones I have seen.

There's quite a few mediocre films on that list. I suppose "disturbing" has nothing to do with "quality," though.

I would have added Inside to that list and left off The Exorcist.

A Serbian Film or Tumbling Doll of Flesh should be there before 90% of thsoe films..

Though they're no that popular the August Underground films are conspicuous by their absence.

for the most part I agree with the list but I think possession should be on there.

Agreed. It's the only issue I find with it. Otherwise, I have to agree.

Surprised that I don't see Human Centipede on there (not that I think that it's "the most disturbing moving ever made;" it just appears that the Media does).
