For me, Grave of the FireFlies, Schindler's List, I have the DVDs of them, but I don't think I could watch them again.

[Lochloosa]

1. Sixth Sense. Once you know the ending it kind of kills it.

[unblock]

4. We watched it again immediately

We wanted to see how they constructed all the scenes so ambiguously.

[irisblue]

22. I did that with Fruitvale Station,

on DVD, when Oscar is talking to the young white guy while both are waiting on their girls, and the possibility fluttering around Oscar 😥

[Cartoonist]

2. The Godfather

Not best in my opinion, but well regarded by many. The glorification of criminals has no appeal to me.

[Tikki]

19. I agree, totally...

Tikki

[empedocles]

33. Godfather 2 & 3 did, by Copolla's own design, work hard to de-myth the Godfather saga.

[beveeheart]

3. Schindler's List

[Rhiannon12866]

8. +100

[El Supremo]

36. Yes, I only started to watch it...

and I couldn't take it.

I should have been forced to watch it.

[Guilded Lilly]

5. Sophie's Choice. I was devastated.

[Nay]

11. Yeah. Crushing movie.

[IADEMO2004]

34. Once was too much. I couldn't be in a room with talking about it.

[Joinfortmill]

41. Agree

Great, well made movie, but emotionally devastating. I saw it in the theatre. Could never watch it again.

[Canoe52]

59. Same here

[applegrove]

60. I waited 30 years to see that movie again. Still amazing bit of writing.

And such a metaphor for what psychopaths are all about. Such sadism. I don't think i've read any Styron. I tried to read the diary of Nat Turner but was a historical fiction snob at the time.

[hlthe2b]

6. Any and all movies where the dog dies...

If I know ahead of time, I won't watch them the first time. Too damned painful.

And yes, of course, Sophie's Choice would be simillarly.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. amen to that. or the cat or the horse

Old Yeller pretty much ruined it for me (yeah I am that old)

[DUgosh]

52. Charlottes Web

I still haven’t got over it

[Wawannabe]

27. Right on!

Dogs shouldn’t die! Period!

[emmaverybo]

30. I can not bear any sad animal stories no matter how good and wish movies would carry warnings

of animal cruelty as they do nudity.

[FM123]

7. Terms of Endearment

[Rustynaerduwell]

9. Scorsese's Silence

The title itself, referring to the silence from God when you need him the most, remains devastating after you've seen the movie.

[skypilot]

10. Synecdoche, New York...

...with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. A devasting movie. I'm sure it would be even more devastating and sad to sit through again now that Hoffman is dead.

[Bradshaw3]

31. That was a great film

It is intense and brilliant from the underappreciated Charlie Kaufmann. I would like to see it at least once more. But I would have to be in the right frame of mind.

[skypilot]

45. I'd kinda like to see it again too...

...but I really don't know what the right frame of mind is. Honestly, the older I get, the more afraid I am to watch it again. I probably won't end up doing it. The movie left that much of an impression on me.

[Bradshaw3]

47. I saw Kaufmann at a film festival in which it was featured

He is a truly interesting artist. I was impressed by the innovative narrative structure of the film and what it said about human interactions and how we want others to perceive us. I actually wrote an essay on it late that night I was so enthralled by it. I can't remember where it is.

One of the panelists said it made him think of the innovative sociological work "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life".

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. The Pawnbroker.

Great movie, unbearably depressing.

[sarge43]

14. Requium for a Dream

Real life horror

[Kurt V.]

29. idk. should be watched once a year. Great pick tho.

[mr_lebowski]

35. Good one ... although ... the soundtrack is real solid ...

[ZZenith]

42. That's my pick.

I watched it four times when I first saw it, so fascinated was I by the skill with which it was made. Felt depressed for a month, though.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. Grave of the Fireflies was just devastating

We were binge watching through a complete works of Miyazaki films and it was such a shock after all the other ones.

It took me a couple of weeks to totally shake off the way that film made me feel.

[Dave Starsky]

17. Grave of the Fireflies is absolutely amazing.

But god damn, did that movie wreck me. I am a "tough guy" who tries not to cry during movies, but I was blubbering like a toddler throughout.

It's easily the greatest movie I never want to see again.

[First Speaker]

16. Rosemary's Baby

[Tikki]

18. The Zellner Brother's 2012 movie...Kid-Thing.

Just too...everything.


Tikki

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Johnny Got His Gun

[jayfish]

21. Grease

One of my faves but I've seen and heard it a million times.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

23. Every January/February it seems

I see a few movies that fall into that category as I try and see all of the Best Picture nominees. There have been some rough ones that I swore I would not watch again. Just blanking on them at the moment.

[Harker]

24. Apocalypse Now.

Never again.

[Wawannabe]

25. Saving Private Ryan

[Glorfindel]

37. Me, too.

Utterly unbearable, but a great movie.

[dchill]

57. Yep. That's the one.

[Kurt V.]

26. easy. Mask

[blm]

28. Pan's Labyrinth

[Binkie The Clown]

32. The Boy in the Striped Pajams.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914798/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

[sakabatou]

67. Same

[dewsgirl]

38. E.T. I saw it when I was 5 at the movies, it emotionally gutted

me to my core. Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite ride at Universal, and I have several souveniers. But I have never been able to watch again.

[Stuart G]

39. Romeo and Juliet..1968...Once was enough. I cried when I left the theater.

I had never read that, or knew how it ended. Someone wrote an outstanding play

[Captain Zero]

40. Driving Miss Daisy, I can't handle it.

I barely got through it once in parts.
It is the biggest combo of angry and sad, I have ever felt.

[TlalocW]

43. Avatar

It was a fun film; the animation was top-notch, and while the story was a little derivative in multiple ways, it was decent overall.

That said - even though it's one of the highest - if not the highest - grossing films in history, just thinking of watching it now elicits a, "meh." It's really had no impact on popular culture - there are no well-known quotes from it; I can't remember if there was ever a toy line, and when you think of the two most famous stars in it - Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana - thinking of their being in, "Avatar," probably comes in after a dozen other movies each that they've been in.

[Dan]

44. Exorcist

Without a doubt...

[MuseRider]

46. A solid movie, maybe not one of the best but

it was devastating and held the book up well.

The Road

I agonized my way through the book. I had to read it, had to finish it and I am not sure why.

The movie about killed me. Viggo did an amazing job as did Kodi Smit-McPhee. There was not one single pleasant thing about the book or the movie and that is what made it perfect, just not pleasant.

I could read the book again but I would not watch it again.

[maxrandb]

48. Seven

with Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt.

Great movie, but it just left me feeling angry and hopeless at the end.

"What's in the box"?

[emmaverybo]

55. That was a horrific ending. Very good, but that.,.

[Major Nikon]

49. The Road

Before the movie was over I wanted to crawl in the tub and open a vein.

[jayfish]

61. That's a good one!

I enjoyed it immensely but I have no desire to see it again. ...ever. It's about as bleak as it gets.

[Corgigal]

50. Grizzly Man

[emmaverybo]

53. Oh, yes. So painful.

[vsrazdem]

51. The Dressmaker. I have never been so pissed off at the end of a movie.

[uriel1972]

54. My vote:

Grave of the Fireflies... it was just too real

[captain queeg]

56. Silence of the Lambs

Hannibal was just too creepy

[Upthevibe]

58. Several for me:

Sophie's Choice
The Deerhunter
The Pianist
And others that I can't think of right now...

[lpbk2713]

62. Love Story ... Yes it is schmaltzy.

But their strong bond comes to a tragic end much too soon.

[gratuitous]

63. I had a friend who went to Michigan

Back in the 1970s, before cable, even before HBO, first run movies would eventually get around to being shown on network television. In the mid 1970s, "Love Story" was on (probably ABC), and my friend was in the dorm lounge with about two dozen other students, watching the movie unspool. All the lights were off so everyone could see the small screen better, and nobody could see anyone else. Very cozy and intimate, like a movie theater, but more comfortable. At the end, as Oliver is visiting Jenny for the last time, she invites him to climb into her hospital bed for one last snuggle. You can hear people sniffling to keep from bawling outright. As Oliver is about to get into bed, a male voice comes out of the darkness:

"Are you contagious?"

Followed by a female sobbing, "Oh, you asshole!"

[lpbk2713]

64. Thanks.

You had me LOL.

[Shrek]

65. Pay It Forward

Loved the premise, loved most of the execution, but the ending ruined it for me.

[NurseJackie]

66. The Color Purple.
