The House That Jack Built
Von Trier's latest. While having some really disturbing scenes, it is more or less the epitome of Triers dark (danish) humor. Some might disagree, but I think it is one of his best. Brilliant movie, with some really spot on 'comments' about an albeit extreme but certain, and relevant, character type. It can be understood as a manic departure from his depression trilogy (Antichrist, Melancholia, Nymphomaniac), which other users have already recommended. If you haven't seen it yet, I cannot recommend it enough.
The Seventh Continent
This one is a bit slow and honestly not the best from Haneke, but the pace and tone actually builds up really well for what might be one the most bleak and excruciating endings ever.
Mulholland Drive
I'm sure most of you are already acquinted with this movie, but for the uninitiated, it deserves a mention. Deeply disturbing (although not explicitly) and haunting - I consider this to be Lynch at his best, and maybe one of the best movies ever made.

I love all that brutality. Sometimes seems a little too real but you really know it's not. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is another from the same director I believe. Also very violent.

The film in black&white? Watched it earlier this year. It was so depressing because of its tone and the bleakness of everyone. And some disturbing scene involving barbed wire.
Human Centipede 3 was more of a jolly time lol. But ma gawd it was fricken awful. I can't believe Eric Roberts signed upto that trash.

Seriously, anyone that has said Ichi The Killer, could you elaborate again? Fuck, maybe I should just rewatch it.

Mulholland Drive is incredible. Definitely Lynch’s best film.
Not sure if it’s his most disturbing though. It certainly has its moments, but Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Lost Highway are, for me, the more unsettling films of his.

I don't really find movies disturbing but this will fit the bill for some of you, I imagine.

A Clockwork Orange. I have no idea why people say it is such a great movie. I was so grossed out by the end that I felt like I had to take a shower & wanted to forget the past two hours.

It was the taboo thing that made it so fascinating. It's like holy shit. It's akin to Rotten.com from back in the late 90s.
Yes, your are right. I personally find the plot very unsettling (especially when the whole thing unravels at the end), but the movies you mention are definately more on the 'horror/disturbing' side of the equation.
Inland Empire is also worth a watch in that regard, although it is a little bit tougher to digest.

I don’t hate Inland Empire but it felt more like a compilation of various, unconnected ideas he’d had over the years. It’s definitely nightmarish in places.
Mulholland Drive felt like the culmination of his creativity.

Martyrs - french gore movie left me disturbed and I never plan to watch it again
Possession (1981) - Fantastic horror weird movie. One of Sam Neil first roles. I watched it just next day after watching it for the first time. Great, very disturbing movie witch unique acting. Everything is so strange and weird. I really recommend checking it out.

Here's something a little differen.
This movie freaks the hell out of me.
It's different from the rest of the movies in this thread because there's nothing particularly shocking in it>
Just genuinely unsettling throughout. The Other is like a master class in creating a disturbing atmosphere where everything just feels a little "off"

2 other films that come up with me fairly often, although they aren't gore films but disturbed the shit out of me.
The 1st is a brilliant dutch film called The Vanishing (Spoorloos). The whole plot but especially the ending has never left my mind. Truly horrifying.
The next is Buried with Ryan Reynolds. The fear for me is being enclosed in tight spaces (I'm a pretty bad claustrophobic) so Buried got me good. I actually had a hard time breathing watching Buried. Great film as well.

Jaws.
Just everything. That girl going for a swim in the begining and you see the shark is eating her, with no one to help.
Pure primal terror.
Not even going into the rest of the film. The guy in the estuary and seeing the shark approaching from overhead. Alex Kitner. What happened to Ben Gardener and his crew off screen. Quint.
The Thing would probably be my top choice, but sharks do actually kill people, unlike shape shifting alien monstrosities.

Had a think about it, Putrid Sex Object was really fucking weird.
4 year old me was left scarred by 1978 Watership Down. The film is rated U, as in suitable for everyone-a kids film, in the UK. Here's a trailer.
Here's the full movie of your brave enough.
Here are the deaths if that's your jam.
