great films you never want to watch again

I could watch this film ALWAYS. Joseph is so cute

Never Let Me Go - not for some considerable time anyway.


"Three years...I promise."

For me, Mysterious Skins as well as:

-Grave of the Fireflies
-Waltz with Bashir
-District 9

In my defense for the last one, I rarely ever re-watch movies so it's not just a matter of "this is too disturbing" because frankly, District 9 isn't, I just found the gritty realism to be nauseating.

Yeah, all of these films have got nothing on A Serbian Film. Go watch it, I dare you;)

I agree with Basketball Diaries. It's a terrific film but I don't really want to watch the whole thing again. If it's on tv some time sure I'll watch a bit of it, but it's a pretty intense and haunting viewing experience.

Same goes for this one. Although I'm not sure that I'd say this film is great. I'd say the third act is great, however I'd say the second act is just okay and the first poor. But yeah it makes up for it a fair amount towards the end. Anyway, haunting film which I can't figure myself to be watching ever again. I hate peadophilia. I think it's horrible, for a grown person to manipulate a child and abuse them in that way, take away their innocence, deny them a real childhood. Corrupt them and destroy them forever. The character played by Bill Sage in this film... I think I might be able to kill him... but I dunno' I feel like I'd want to but I don't think I could ever go through with something like that. I'm sure I'd be a poor hitman ha.



The best ever filmography belongs to... John Cazale.

I disagree with this whole post and everyone else who agreed. I love watching disturbing movies, and if they're good I will want to watch them over and over again. Films don't really depress me, only reassure me in my belief that everything's fked up. Either way, the only films I would not feel like re-watching would be really bad films, if something's great then I would want to watch it over and over again. Although I'd have to be in a certain mood for that, sometimes films just randomly come to my head and I think *beep* I'm gonna have to watch this again tonight'.

I agree with you on Amerian History X and Candy, both films had such brilliant performances I rewatched despite knowing how tragically they would end I've probably seen them both about four/five times now. I must say I've rewatched both Requiem For A Dream and Mysterious Skin just because I was so amazed by the performances given by Ellen Burstyn & Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I must say films that I have never rewatched despite my liking them (or at least being impressed by) are...

Magnolia
Irrevesible (obviously)
I couldn't finish Pan's Labyrinth the second time I tried to watch it
Antichrist
Boys Don't Cry
Gummo
Oh and Schlinder's List

I saw that someone mentioned An American Crime but I have rewatched that just for Ellen Page's performance, I think she is incredible in serious roles whereas she just annoys me in the 'cute' comedies everyone else seems to love her for [giveup
