List by Roni Laukkarinen Patron
The most controversial movies I've ever seen
I've seen shocking movies. Here is a few of them. If you are sane, don't watch these. Depressive, gross and pretty harsh stuff.

There's also The Men Behind the Sun films and Philosophy of a Knife if you've got a strong resolve.
I think I tried to watch The Men Behind the Sun way back, but not quite sure. I get odd flashbacks from that film. Or then I just heard about it some times. I should watch those, thanks.
Maybe it's just me, but 90% of these aren't very shocking.....?
I mean American Psycho is just hilariously funny, so is The Loved Ones. The top of your list is pretty hardcore, but then it just mellows out with movies like Eden Lake and Alpha Dog.
May not be just shocking, the name of the list is not "the most shocking movies I've ever seen". I just remember that certain effect those films caused me, be it shock or depression or anxiety or thrill... I agree some of the films are not that shocking but they are effectively controversial in other ways. For some films it may be just me. Or yeah, maybe just you.
I also try to think these movies as general perspective, the films my mother would not want to watch. :)
Scum! Still haunts me
Really good list, I wonder if you have seen Aftermath, by Nacho Cerda.
What an interesting idea for a list Roni! I've only seen just over half. (That may be a good thing?) :-)
Thanks! Car, Aftermath is on my watch list. Showbill, Heh yeah, some of these are quite mental for sane people to watch. I guess 30-40 years ago most of these would be banned...
Sweet Movie and El topo
