A disturbing & yet the funniest scene I've come across in a long time was the cat getting shot in Boondock Saints...
At first I thought it was one of the guys that got accidently shot then my second thought was that a bag of blood had been thrown through the window.
When it finally dawned on me that it was the splattered cat on the wall, I was hysterically laughing in tears.
One thing I find really disturbing is to watch a death happen slowly on film. The climatic battle in Saving Private Ryan had that horrifying struggle for the bayonet between Pvt. Melish and the German soldier, with the German Soldier slowly pushing it into the chest of Melish (while saying something in German; sounds like a nursery rhyme)while Melish screams for him to explain what he's saying as he dies.

That would be the one for me too, I avoid the movie even now because of that scene, which is probably a compliment to how harrowing they made it considering the subject.

Yeah that scene stayed with me.

My most disturbing moment comes from a film that's not supposed to be scary - The Missing, with Cate Blanchette and Tommy Lee Jones.
Near the beginning, when
Spoiler:
Maggie goes out to search for her daughters and Brick since they didn't come home from cattle branding, and she sees that bull, which is skinned but still standing upright, comes across blood on the ground, sees the remnants of the fire, and then sees that bull-skin pouch hanging from the trees - and Brick is inside, we can only see his face, and his eyes and mouth are closed but he's bound in there. That isn't so disturbing by itself, but then Maggie finds Dodd, and Dodd explains how she was hiding, and how Brick had told her to stay down, and then she describes that she heard Brick screaming and screaming, for so long that she just wants to yell at him to stop, but she can't because it would give her away. And she's crying hysterically, going on and on about the noises Brick made while being killed.And then I put together the two, and I'm like, "... did they skin Brick alive like they did the bull? what happened to him that he was screaming for hours on end?
Toss and marinate that in your head for a bit... I couldn't sleep that night. *shiver*
The intro to Stakeland was pretty messed up.
The story begins right during the beginning of a vampirism pandemic (feral monstrous zombies, not smart ones). The main character stars off on his families farm with his mom, dad and baby sister (all of them working in the barn). He hears a sound outside and decides to follow it some distance away when all of a sudden hears his mother screaming inside the house. A stranger that happened to hear the scream nearby tries to stop him from rushing in to save his family and tells him they're already dead. Despite this, the kid sprints back inside. He sees his mom torn and bloody on the floor when his dad walks in walks in with a chunk of his neck missing. His dad falls to the ground and bleeds out. The kid is shooken up but he keeps focused on his baby sister who is crying somewhere in the back of the barn. The babys cries kind of trail off as the kid locates the source up in the barn rafters. The vampire is up there just chewing on the side of his baby sister. When its done eating, he opens his jaw and lets her body dangle from his hind which holding her by the foot. Then he spots the kid and lets go of the baby which falls to the ground with a thud.
The mom and dad weren't too bad, but that baby scene was always kind of stuck with me. That entire movie was a montage of beautiful, but depressing imagery and music. Not very many happy things happened.
Another pretty messed up movie was Cannibal Holocaust. Just.. all of it.
