So many of the scenes in The Passion of the Christ. I had to turn away many times.
I would really like to un-see Kevin Smith’s Tusk.
I have this on my watch list. Is it the premise that skeeves you (as well it should) or are there actually graphic / gross scenes? Feel free to put specifics in a spoiler box; I’d like to know if I should avoid it.
The Arterial Angioplasty scene from The Exorcist
Sick: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist
Documentary.
Many scenes of public masochism performances involving genitalia.
But the winner is a close-up shot of Bob nailing his penis to a board.
You’re welcome.
I’m not so sure she is being burned in that scene. From here:
She’s not screaming at all and there’s no obvious crowd reaction, so it seems Preminger might have told a reporter that (reporters have been known to make things up) but it doesn’t look like he included it.

The Arterial Angioplasty scene from The Exorcist
[/QUOTE]The x-ray tech at 30 seconds was a real x-ray tech…among other things:

I needed some serious brain bleach after watching that movie. For me, it was the scene where his girlfriend stuck a pool ball up his butt. :eek:
I thought “The Handmaid’s Tale” was a terrible book. Sorry.
I also tried to read “A Wrinkle in Time” when I was a kid, and couldn’t get into it. The same thing happened when I tried to re-read it a few years ago.
This reminds me of something I saw in a documentary about Jodie Foster. After the rape scene on the pinball machine in The Accused the male actors were so upset Jodie went around and comforted them. They couldn’t eat, they couldn’t talk, they could barely function.
The really unsexy sex scene and the part afterwards where they sucked the sperm out of her vagina with a syringe was pretty damn gross, too. John Waters’s early films are rightly called “trash”.
I was recently flabbergasted to see Eraserhead show up under “comedy” on FilmStruck. 
Not the grossest thing ever, but I agree- very distasteful, revolting, and discomforting. Ruins an otherwise pretty decent movie.
Props to Jamie Lee Curtis for her crestfallen look at the end of this scene , on the telephone:
Harry Tasker: The code name of your assignment will be Boris. And your code name will be…"
Helen Tasker: [hopeful] “Natasha?”
Harry: “No… Doris.”
Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t remember the name of this film. I thought it was an amazing film and kind of thought everyone should see it (yes, I was younger then too). However, it has stayed with me and still makes me shudder. I don’t think of it as “disgusting” in the sense of the OP, but maybe more terrifying, as in: this is what we are all coming to, the day when no one is in there and the body is just a piece of meat. Knowing that is one thing. Seeing it is altogether another thing. Seeing it “acted” is one thing and seeing the real thing is quite a bit more horrifying. Or it was for me.
Well, if we extend to television and exclude porn, my immediate reaction is Glenn’s death in The Walking Dead. That haunted me, and I still think of it and get sick from time to time. The attachment I had to the character definitely amplified it.
Yes, exactly. Arnie is supposed to be deeply in love with his wife, making every effort to save his marriage, and here he is humiliating her and degrading her to the nth degree. I kept expecting her to turn to him and say, “C’mon! I knew it was you!” That would have at least relieved some of my disgust. I’d rather see blood, guts, gore, or puke.
For me, it was the scene in ZODIAC where he tied the couple at the lake, then stabbed them both repeatedly.
Not that these are in any way definitive:

“At least Seberg earned the respect of the cast and crew. But her most trying moment came when she stood on the pyre for the burning-at-the-stake scene. Two hidden gas canisters ignited at the wrong moment, surrounding her with a rush of flame and smoke. “I’m burning!” she cried, yanking her arms free and covering her face as her costume started to burn. The fire was quickly extinguished, and Seberg suffered no significant harm. But it must have seemed like the last exasperating straw to an actress already on the ropes. Preminger was momentarily traumatized as well, but he recovered in time to make sure the mishap had been caught on film. “The camera took four hundred extra feet,” he told a Newsweek journalist, adding that he would “probably use some of it” in the movie. Not surprisingly, he did.”
And this:
Looking at the clip I posted, it is impossible to tell if she screamed or not because her mouth is not visible and any sound she might have made is not heard. I very much doubt the crowd noise was recorded from the set; more likely it was a stock sound effect dubbed in later. Nor do we see much of the crowd when the flames reach Seberg. And note that in TCM link quoted above, it is footage from the mishap - not the crowd reaction to it - that ended up in the film. Nevertheless, her reaction to the flames is unmistakably horrifying.
I suppose it could be, if it was given the Rifftrax treatment. Many years ago, I was at a party where someone put on a VHS tape of “North By Northwest” and we did that to it. 
Oopsie! I posted this in the wrong thread.
“Faces of Death” - … the one where they put a monkey into a hole in a table and everyone hits it on the head with spoons until it dies then they eat it’s brains. I read somewhere that scene was fake and I truly hope so. It still haunts me.
Oh my goodness. I didn’t know anything about the story and that hit me really hard. Yes, I get really angry thinking about that too.
Is it possible you’re thinking of the complicated vaginal birth where the mom ends up bleeding to death, but it was in the hospital? Anthony Edwards tries everything but she dies? My whole reproductive area felt beat up just watching that. That and the Gant scene were the best of ER IMO.
This was going to be mine, so I’ll add the family getting raped and murdered scene from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
