| I second The Hills Have Eyes. I think it's the sequel of that title. A woman soldier is captured and shows her being raped. Definitely the most violent and disgusting thing I've seen. I think it went too far. |

I'm still squeamish about needles in general, but they're not what's caused me to cringe in any movie.
"Wake Of Death" has a scene where a torturer uses a power drill on a prisoner. The camera work makes it pretty brutal.
In "Men Of War" the final bad guy gets a broken off bone stuck up his neck and through his jaw. Ouch.
Not violent, but there's a really hard scene to watch in Tim Roth's film "The War Zone" up in the bunker, near the end of the film. A lot of people in the theatre were crying. |

| the absolute hands down, most squirm inducing thing I've ever seen wasn't in a violent movie at all. towards the beginning of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the narrator wakes from a coma, to find a doctor about to sew his eye shut. Because we're in his head at this point, we don't know what's going on, but we see a needle coming towards the screen and the narrator freaking out. |

| The Kill Bill scene where Kittie cuts the tendon at the back of the foot. Had no idea that was originally from the Korean movie Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. |
Not sure about the specific scene, but I recall some achilles tendons being slashed in "Pet Cemetery". That was pretty horrifying as a kid.
One violent scene that still makes me cringe is the part close to the end of "Apocalypse Now" where they hack the cow/yak/whatever through the neck. It's not so much the gore, but the timing. It occurs at such a pivotal point in the movie and it's symbolic of so much more horror than simple animal slaughter.
Loads of sports-accident videos on youtube. There's this one of some wrestler coming off the top rope and when he hits the mat his lower leg goes all right-angled... |

Not sure why you're trying to say you're not a racist. Anyway, American History X was a stupid movie that oversimplified issues and became an unwitting recruiting tool for racists.

I loved American History X so I showed it to my brother who at the time was young and was hanging around with a bunch of skin head guys. I wanted to show him he was wrong. So we watched it together. The movie, like you said, had the opposite effect. He became even more racist. I felt like a fool.
And recently for the first time I watched Faces of Death. I saw the one where a lion ate a man (or half ate). It was really terrible. I felt sick. I'm getting too old for violence. |

Every time it's shown on cable in the US, membership on skinhead websites surges with moronic kids saying "I just saw American History X, and I want to join the Race War." They don't last long.
Even worse for that effect is Romper Stomper, where the main character is ranting throughout the movie about how Australia's being taken over by Vietnamese, and near the end his gang is run out of town by a nearly limitless supply of Vietnamese guys. |

| The French film Irreversible was the only one that made me burry my face in my hands and try to block out all sound in the middle of a cinema for several minutes. |

| For me it was a movie called Buio Omega, an Italian slasher film from the 70s by the truly sick Joe D'amato. It has been translated into Beyond the Darkness or Buried Alive for the English speaking market. It features such beautiful scenes as a dissection of a young woman for the purposes of stuffing her by a young man who wants to keep her forever. There is also a nice scene in which the said young man uses pliers to rips the finger nails from another young woman's hands before he hacks her up for an acid bath. There of course is more. The Italians were pretty sick in the 1970s in their slasher films. Although the Japanese seemed to have usurped them with their Ero guro films. Japanese Hell is fine example of this. |
