Rewatch: Schindler’s List

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Requiem for a Dream

That's the one. So despairing and depressing.

I don't have problems not re-watching movies that I don't like. But a movie that I do like that I find hard to revisit is Pixar's Up. I just have to be in the right mood for it. It's such a gut-punch!

8 1/2. Made it 20 minutes in and even my "art movie" friend said, "let's go" because it was too bizarre for him.

I’m a little confused by the question. Are you asking for movies I watched once and didn’t like, or movies that I watched once that were good, but made me too uncomfortable to watch again?

I don’t like scary movies, so I don’t watch those to begin with. I don’t like movies that have a sad or bittersweet ending, so those are usually a one and done. Movies I like I usually watch multiple times. I don’t think I have ever said a movie was great but I won’t watch it again.

I never want to see Star Wars episode 3, the evolution to Darth Vader was way too much for me.

 

[DoryGirl1963]

Sophie's Choice...too heart wrenching

I took it as meaning movies you liked (or, at least, didn’t hate) but couldn’t bring yourself to watch them again.

If it was a list of movies we hated, that could be an infinite list

 

[PollyannaMom]

Rewatch: Schindler’s List

Same. It was an excellent film, and I'm glad I saw it, but it has too much sadness to watch over and over.

 

[dcassetta]

Schindler's List - once was enough. It was brilliant and I will never watch it again.

 

[Smugpugmug]

The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy but it's the theatrical cut and not the extended edition. Watching the theatrical version makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it......

 

[Moliphino]

Marley and Me
The Green Mile

 

[ChrisFL]

Selena - the movie about the singer Selena Quintanilla....it was incredibly beautiful but super heartbreaking since it was a true story and she was murdered by the president of her fan club

 

[PrincessShmoo]

The Alamo (original version)
Shawshank Redemption

 

[fly girl]

Marley and Me

This!

 

[mousefan73]

Slumdog millionaire... only movie that in mind was so depressing to watch.. even though the ending was good and beautfilly written and filmed but really bummed me out

 

[NannyBeBe]

Secretariat. Such an extraordinary and beautiful horse. He should have lived forever.
Actually, I cannot watch or re-watch any movie where an animal suffers or dies.

 

[ScottOKW2K]

Gone With the Wind. Though I've probably watched the whole movie in bits and pieces I have never watched it from beginning to end in one sitting.

Yeah, animal ones are always tough. I mean, they used to show us Old Yelller in school! Man....
