Are there any movies or shows on TV that disturb you on some level? Disturbed is a broad term, be a little specific. Personally, and I know this is stupid, the Walking Dead bothers me. It's not zombies, I think it's specifically family and an end of the world situation. I tried watching it when it first aired and stopped. Tried again years after and stopped. Just picked it up recently for a third time... maybe three times a charm! The Road bothered my equally. Just horribly sad to me.

The X Files
I am as a prettt young kid when this show first aired and I remember an episode that had something to do with a red balloon leading people into bad situations. I don't remember the full details but something like a little kid followed a red balloon onto some railroad tracks and was hit by a train.
Out inside of the red balloon and train I do not remember the details and am not sure why as a kid this episode freaked me out so bad.
I am now a grown man and have added The X Files to my list on Netflix yet I still can't bring myself to watch it.

I'm usually not bothered by anything in movies or TV, but there is one scene in Saving Private Ryan that bothered me. It was the scene towards the end of the movie where the German solider kills Mellish. That's very hard to watch.

Definitely agree with this one. I had to watch the movie several times before I could "get over" that scene. It still bothers me, just not as much as before.

The scene in Downfall when the Goebbels children are poisoned. I have to fast forward through that part.

Also the actress playing Magda Goebbels reminds me of Hillary Clinton.

The movie I can't watch is Black Hawk Down. What happened to our servicemen makes me both heartsick and mad.

I am not a fan of movies that mix comedy with graphic violence. I think the two are incompatible. Goodfellas comes to mind .

I am sure there are a few more, but the film that disturbed me most was Requiem for a Dream. Pretty rough stuff.

Lone Survivor, watched it once. Great story about some real heroes. I can't watch it again.

I would agree on 3 movies already mentioned:

The Road
Blackhawk Down
Lone Survivor

All are great movies, but difficult to watch.

Agreed.
In fact, I could only watch SPR once all the way through, and I just avoid seeing it now.
Just too empathetic with the soldiers in that one.

Fury is the same for me. Once was enough.

I agree on the scene from SPR. Very tough to watch.

For me what immediately came to mind was the TV series "Sons of Anarchy". I simply could not get interested in the show as I didn't care for the criminal characters. Most of them scumbags.

Shows that blatantly push their social engineering agenda bullshit are the ones that disturb me. Click.

I'll add Open Water to this list. Utterly depressing.
