Years ago, I created a massive list of disturbing films on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls009209730/ 
As of this writing, the list has 1,706 titles on it and easily the largest such list on the internet. 
However, as many of you know, I was in prison from 2015 to 2024 and, as such, I was obviously not able to keep the list updated. Could you all please fill me in on the disturbing films that have come out since then? There's a list from /r/DisturbingMovies, but it's largely useless. It was made by Redditards, so it's filled with films that don't even remotely belong on a list of disturbing movies, like Watership Down and The Dark Crystal. To be on my list, the content has to be at least at R-rated level. 
(As a side note, while I was in prison, I wrote a detailed outline for my own attempt at creating the most disturbing film ever made (partially inspired by the disgusting s*x offenders who I was forced to be surrounded by) - one that would not only far exceed every other "sickest movie ever made" in terms of on-screen depravity, but would also tell an emotionally devastating story filled with truly heartbreaking pathos. The fact that even the deeply jaded and desensitized prison staff were shocked and disturbed by it (and repeatedly spoke to me about it) told me that I did exactly what I set out to do.)

You're missing Ari Aster movies. They're still normie-digestible but they're as disturbing as something like Saw or Eraserhead. Hereditary is considered his most disturbing full length movie, and There's Something about the Johnsons his most disturbing short film.
Seconding the rec for Under the Skin. I've not seen this movie or any Ari Aster ones but people who like arthouse horror rec these a lot.
Maybe not disturbing enough but I really enjoyed Jordan Peele's Nope. It's mostly an adventure movie but there's one particular scene of a crowd death that left many viewers shaken and nauseous.
Another "disturbing" movie I've personally seen is The Favorite. Not hardcore enough for the list but way more brutal than the subject matter would suggest. There are lots of genuine funny moments interspersed with horror moments like an ex prostitute being burned with lye.

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons is on there.
Which The Favorite are you talking about? There are several films with that title.
