Fizzzzle Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Schindler's List is one off the top of my head. It's a brilliant movie, but I can only shed so many tears. 'Come and See' is another one in that same vein (if you guys haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, I think you can watch it on criterion. It's a Soviet movie from the 80's, it was never widely published) There Will Be Blood is another one. I've only seen it once, I loved it, but I doubt I will ever watch it again. It's difficult. It hits some kind of nerve that makes my brain go "yeah let's not do that again." What other movies fit this category? For some reason, a lot of Paul Thomas Anderson movies tend to fit that category, now that I think on it. I don't think I've ever seen any of his movies more than once, and I don't particularly care to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one I just thought of is Running Scared. Not that I would put it on the same stratosphere as Schindler's List or There Will Be Blood, but it still hurts to watch in a good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Most of them. Or really, I see most movies I really like twice and then never see them again. Saving Private Ryan is a movie I have only seen twice. Only once as an adult. While it is one of my favorite movies of all time I just don't like redoing the same thing more than twice with a few exceptions. Applies to books and games as well. Not to music tho. Any movie I have seen more than twice is probs cuz I watched it with other people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two Jesuit priests are sent to find their mentor in 17th century Japan, where Christianity is, um, frowned upon. It's not the gnarliest movie I've ever seen, but it's definitely a tough hang. It's fantastic, and it made me think a lot about Faith (and how I never really had any), but I'm having a hard time imagining the scenario where I ever watch it again.

CayceG Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Children of Men. Quite possibly one of the best movies made in my lifetime. It is so impactful that I cannot and will not watch it again with the world being in the state that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 2 movies I liked (maybe not loved, but still like) was: -The Boy in the Striped Pajamas -End of Watch (2 scenes in particular freaked me out at the time) . The young toddler and baby duct taped up in the closet. Then later when a guy stabbed one police officer in the eye and almost beats a female cop to death. Just the way the movie was filmed in that "found footage" sort of way made it feel too real for me. I liked both movies at the time, but I don't have an urge to revisit them.

SimpleG Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Nothing I guess, films like Come and See and RFAD are very hard watches but thats what I want when I watch them. Dont get me wrong I am not gonna watch them during Sunday brunch but some times I want my soul crushed into oblivion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The Revenant is one. The ordeal was great to experience the first time, but I wonder how impactful it would be a second time. I also can’t see myself rewatching Midsommar any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 This never gets listed as a hard to watch movie but that second half of Boogie Nights is too heartbreaking for me to go through again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 It's a great movie, but I'm probably good on 'The Green Mile'. Both the end and the post-end were pretty sad... made even more so that the gentle giant, MCD, is no longer with us. Also, seconding Bacon, 'Saving Private Ryan' for similar reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
