"Great movie, But once was enough!" - Blu-ray Forum

carpaltonnel · 01-28-2010, 06:55 AM

I used to think or you would assume that great movies deserve or are suppose to promote repeat viewings, right? But what about the films that hit below the belt, give you nightmares, or even make you sick?! Or maybe the experience was just too emotional, draing, or personal to you.

List your pick/picks if you can that while you loved it while you were watching it, you just can't seem to bring yourself to watch it again.

My pick, Irreversible. (Amazingly vivid and raw, once is enough

)

No pick can be wrong, speak your mind!

I've never particularly felt compelled to watch The Usual Suspects more than once.

Also, Ray, King Kong, or Das Boot don't exactly fit for repeat viewings.

wormraper · 01-28-2010, 07:10 AM

Running Scared. done really well, but that Child molestor scene makes it so I literally can't watch it again.

chemokidd · 01-28-2010, 07:13 AM

My Sister's Keeper & Revolutionary Road hands down

Meeklo · 01-28-2010, 07:16 AM

I think "The Sixth Sense" was good but I don't have any desire to see it after 2 viewings. The second viewing is to see how the movie unfolds now that you know he's dead. But that's it.....

Yeah especially after you know how it ends, not much use in watching it again.

The only movie that has ever really made me feel disgusted was Oldboy, there where just so many moments that even I felt like I had to look away from it.

Mahatma · 01-28-2010, 10:47 AM

I would say 'The wrestler'.Excellent movie,but can't see me watching it again.Atleast in a long time.

Also think 'Wild at heart' is one of them.

wallendo · 01-28-2010, 10:55 AM

I thought "Titanic" was great on first viewing in the theatre. I watched it once on VHS and thought it was a bad movie.

Steve · 01-28-2010, 12:05 PM

Million Dollar Baby was a good movie, but I'll never watch it again. It's too depressing.

Evra · 01-28-2010, 12:19 PM

Passion of the Christ is a good call.
Paranormal Activity as well for me.

HockeySlasher · 01-28-2010, 01:21 PM

Schindler's List and Rescue Dawn for me.

Grand Bob · 01-28-2010, 01:32 PM

Any movie that focuses on suffering, torture, or humiliation (Passion of the Christ and Schindler's List are good examples). Why would you want to watch that again?

zombie63 · 01-28-2010, 01:40 PM

Got to agree on Schindlers List , although its probably his masterpiece i cannot bear to sit through it more than once.

mikejet · 01-28-2010, 01:46 PM

Martyrs.

As much as I would love to watch it again it would be really difficult to do so again.

Blu-Ron · 01-28-2010, 01:47 PM

Saving Private Ryan and Shindler's List for obvious reasons.
Harry Potter for sheer bordom and wanting my money back.
