Are there any movies you just CAN'T watch?

[Julie's Haircut]

I hated Jack and Rose so much, I wanted the ship to sink faster!

I ending up wishing the smokestack would have fallen on annoying Rose rather than Jack's friend.

Bastard out of Carolina. I watched this movie probably 15 years ago and it disturbed me so much mentally I still cringe when I think about it. I've seen it on TV several times since then and absolutely would never watch it again

Se7en is pretty heavy going, but damn, it's a mastery of a movie!

 

[Toolulu22]

I am done with comic book/action movies. There is really only so much superman, batman, avengers, etc. I just can't....

 

[Domo]

Actually, I'll give you one...

Event Horizon. Scared the hell out of me. And if you ever see the gory bits that were struck out, trust me, you won't sleep for a week. The most nasty film I've ever seen.

Lilo & Stich. Stitch is too creepy. Then there are films like Sophie's Choice, good grief! @Domo I've only seen one of the 3 movies you mentioned--Titanic. I saw it in the theater when it was new and it's on cable all the time now. No desire to see it again.

I will second Sophie's Choice, wow was that disturbing and sad.

Any movie with dogs dying, too much gore, or anything super scary. Im a wimp.

A specific movie that my family knows I can't watch is The Fox and the Hound because I find it too sad. Last time I watched it was when it was released from the vault a few years ago and I spend the whole movie bawling my eyes out with a box of tissues.

I hate super gory but I really can't take any movie where a dog dies or someone is mean to an animal. I remember babysitting my niece and she was sleeping over. I think it was My Dog Skip, but I started literally bawling during that movie, I mean crying my eyes out lol. I tried so hard not to bc I didn't want her to be disturbed, and she always brings up to this day how we watched that movie and I was crying so hard omg hehe.

Salo
A Serbian Film

 

[tink1970]

Anything too violent (including but not limited to Lethal Weapon, Quentin Tarantino movies, etc).

Anything Holocaust related.

Mel Brooks movies (just...why?).

Sad dog movies (or other animal).

Toy Story 3 was so depressing-DD still won't even discuss it!

I always have nightmares after The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music.

The only movie I ever walked out of was 8MM (Nicholas Cage about snuff films). The topic was just evil.

This list makes me seem even more neurotic than i am

 

[Domo]

Anything too violent (including but not limited to Lethal Weapon, Quentin Tarantino movies, etc).

With regards to Kill Bill, I had no idea that much fake blood existed!

After reading this thread and seeing a few people mention they own a movie but won’t watch it I thought of another one.

What Dreams May Come.

Nope, just no. I watched it once, about a week after my daughter was born, and I have never, ever, ugly cried like I did at that movie. I tried watching it again (almost 18 years later) when it was on tv and got to one part and sobbed again so I won’t try it again. I own it and I’m not sure why I bought it lol

Plus, watching a Robin Williams movie still hurts.

 

[ilovevacation]

O.k. I will likely be the only person that says this but mine is It's a Wonderful life. It's so random but it always makes me feel blue. I remember the first time it made me cry was in high school. I remember feeling so sad for those that were struggling with loss especially with holiday season I never wanted to watch it again.

O my goodness yes!! I hear his voice and I want to just cry and cry. Love most of his movies but can’t watch most. Especially Alladin.

 

[powellrj]

I love movies, but I also have a long list of ones I won’t watch.

Most Eli Roth movies
Most comic book/super hero movies
Movies based on horrible books

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I had nightmares for weeks(no, make that years) from Event Horizon.

Also, I hate any movie where an animal dies.

 

[DawnM]

I am not a big movie watcher and lose interest easily.
I won't even start watching anything with supernatural stuff in it (demons, ghosts, etc...)
I won't watch horror of any kind
Not big on action movies overall

I like psychological thrillers
SOME love stories are ok, many are just predictable and stupid
Comedies are often poorly done, but some are good

Some movies I don't like that others do:
Elf
Home Alone
Sleepless in Seattle

 

[IndianaMouse]

Both Dumb and Dumber movies and Ace Ventura movies. Stupid and obnoxious are the only words I can think of to describe them, but even that doesn't seem strong enough .

Precious is too painful to watch

Edward Scissorhands. I'm not sure what it is about this movie but I get a really bad feeling every time I've tried watching it and have to shut it off after just a few minutes.

 

[tinkerdorabelle]

Another I saw recently that I will NEVER watch again and do not recommend, actually stopped it dead with the most horrific scene I have ever seen towards the end, was the movie "Mother!" with Jennifer Lawrence, a whole slew of really great actors, Michelle Pfeiifer, Ed Harris, Javier Bardem, I mean how can it be bad with those great actors but OMG. I saw a critic describe it as the worst movie of the century and I will concur. It's actually captivating at first bc you have no idea where's it's going, and it draws you in, is it going to be a Rosemary's Baby? type which is what I thought, then spirals into this crazy disturbing insanity. Absolutely disgusting. I think it was also bc it was unexpected. If you watch a Saw movie, you know what you're going to get, but did not expect this to go to that horrifying place. I read afterwards it's suppose to maybe have a deeper meaning of how we treat the earth or something, what a crazy disturbing movie. I actually felt angry after I saw it, like how can we put things like this out there and I have this now in my mind. I wanted to write someone and complain lol. Without being a total spoiler lets just say it has to do with a newborn baby.

Yes!! This one!!! I was just reading the thread wondering why no one has mentioned this one yet. I watched it once and will never watch it again.
