Requiem for a Dream

I would maybe count Irreversible, but that movie more or less disturbed me, with these I felt compelled to talk about them.

Thanks for mentioning "Hard Candy." I've never been so uncomfortable watching a movie. God, it was horrible, but in a good(ish). I'll never watch it again
but I can't stop thinking about it. INTENSE:

Me too, patricialeat! The whole time I watched "Hard Candy," I thought, please please just let this be over soon. The acting was incredible but I felt physically ill afterwards. And it sort of makes you claustrophobic since the majority of the movie takes place in one location.

Thanks to everyone that posted, you just gave me a very long list of must watch movies!
All of my tops have been listed except one: The Butterfly Effect
I know it doesn't compare to Mysterious Skin, Little Children, or Req for a Dream but after watching it I was haunted for days. All of these movies disturbed me. They all gave me such a profound feeling of how bad the world can be. Sadly, those seem to be the types of movies that stay in my head. -

WTF are people mentioning Juno?
The main film that really stuck in my head very strongly for a few weeks was Mulholland Dr. I'd say about every hour I would think of MD, and I was terrified of that movie. I couldn't even wash my hair in the shower because that movie haunted my mind whenever I closed my eyes. I don't know why it's so freaky to me- that movie is just brilliant, tragic, complex, and haunting. Plus I watched it alone.
It still freaks me out a little. -
