Okay, this might be pushing the line but, Midnight Cowboy was pretty horrific to me. Man's inhumanity to man and desperation are always horrific in my eyes.
I need to watch this again but not the television version(s). I want the uncut one without commercial interruptions/editing. Deej- have you ever seen My Own Private Idaho? It's similar to MC.

The Silence of the Lambs, both the novel and movie. I still don’t get why so many classify it as horror when it’s clearly a thriller, still has some pretty gory scenes though.
Absolutely. Oh, I can definitely see how people would lump it into horror. Wild Bill is basically the Ed Gein figure that inspired Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Just executed differently. I'd call it a thriller, too.
