Movies you liked but would only watch once...

[recS-12]

Amistad. Good movie... just too damn depressing.

[Packerfan75]

The Usual Suspects and Seven.

I have a love/hate relationship with movies like those. They're great the first time around, but the ending is so monumental that it spoils any replay value for me ever again.

liked gone baby gone, prob wont watch again. to many other blus to watch and rewatch.

[Glassroots]

King Kong: PQ and AQ are excellent but the movie is too long.

[Rob71]

Forrest Gump. I have the book, and will get around to reading it one day though.

You should give it a shot its a completely different movie after you seen it before. One of if not is my favorite blus.


as for the answer: it will be "300" .

Paranormal Activity did a number on me, I liked it but I actually had some trouble falling asleep for a couple days after and therefore I don't think I can watch it again, I like my sleep too much. I know a lot of people didn't find it all that scary, but certain scenes in that movie are EXACTLY the kind of things that freak me out.

If you watch it in the right settings, : nice subwoofer, sound is at reference volume and have a nice display. Along with the lights off and quiet in the house, no distractions. It's pretty scary. When i watch a movie, i watch a movie im not sitting there with a cellphone up my ass.

I think that was the point of the movie

You will be VERY surprised.

[Mahatma]

For me it's Eraserhead.The best movieexperience for me ever,but have tried to watch it again,but find it has done it's magic on me once and thats it.

[cdot2four]

District 9 thought it was good but too silly to watch again someone said the wrestler and I 100% agree. But Marissa might make me view it again

[ajvdbg]

Requiem for a Dream - very well done, just can't get the courage to put it in the player again

[Fighter]

Gran Torino

[Steve]

I thougth Million Dollar Baby was good, but it's too depressing to ever watch again. I also don't ever need to see Gran Torino or Forrest Gump again.

Some movies rely on a twist and therefore have little or no replay value. Examples are The Sixth Sense, The Others, and pretty much anything M. Night Shyamalan.

For me personally, I usually don't care to rewatch war movies like Saving Private Ryan.

[Gaius Marius]

There Will Be Blood.

Great movie, just not sure if it is one I will watch over and over again.

[Fighter]

North by Northwest

One and done

[Kizzo]

I can watch action movies more than once, but the majority of drama type movies I can't watch again (maybe 1 or 2 years later I will put the disc in).

That is pretty strange, specialy when most people will say that the third one is the best of the prequels, even among those who hate the prequels and we know how many of those there are

For me it's usualy war movies that have that effect on me, specialy very powerful ones. Like for example, Saving Private Ryan, excellent movie but it's a little too intense for repeat viewing IMO. Band Of Brothers is also another example, amazing series but I am not sure I would want to watch it again, it's just a little too much for me.
