Most Disturbing Scene/Movie/TV, ... Options

[Melissa]

I'm not talking about horror flicks, exactly. I really don't care for monsters, etc. When I say "disturbing," I mean something that has to do with people, psychology, society, etc. A "how can someone do that?" type of disturbing.

What's the most disturbing scene, movie, or show you've ever seen?

Over winter break, I was watching some movies online and clicked "The Girl Next Door," thinking that it was going to be a stupid, mindless comedy. Apparently, I didn't pay attention to the year on imdb and ended up watching this really disturbing movie based on a guy who witnesses the girl next door being molested, raped, etc. There was this scene where the girl's aunt, after letting her son rape the poor girl (his cousin), decided to let the neighborhood kids tattoo obscenities all over the girl's body and burn/mutilate her sex organs.

It was... horrible.

The rape scene in Irréversible was pretty damn brutal.

The ear scene in Reservoir Dogs was cool, BUT I know that a lot of people find it disturbing, so I'll go ahead and list it. (I still think it's a cool scene though. I mean, come on, Michael Madsen singing along to “Stuck in the Middle With You" while cutting a guy's ear off? That's AWESOME).

Those are a couple of film based moments, I'm sure I can think of more eventually.

As far as tv goes, the only truly shocking thing I can think of is when Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear.

Agreed.

At the same time, I also couldn't feel my ear for the next week.
