Eraserhead was an early favorite - still the best first person depiction of schizophrenia I've seen.
And the horsehead-eel scene from Tin Drum.
When you want to shock others, Polyester or anything else from John Waters (but he's one of my favorites, I must confess; Multiple Maniacs is even worse). I'm w/ John Waters that Forest Gump would be truly excruciating to get thru all at once.
I found Faces of Death to be kind of lame, but found (find?) it quite disturbing that there was a developing 'snuff film' market, now a legit marketing niche which is even worse; very disturbing that there is a market for stuff like SAW, Hostel, etc. even into sequels and spinoffs. Plotless sadistic gore.
