Dancer in the Dark
It was brilliant, but it made me so sad.

Great film, but it's too long and not even close to Cameron or Leo's best work

Intolerance from DW Griffith. Amazing film. But once is plenty.

So you don’t like long movies? Maybe you should just branch out more and expand your attention span

I'm a huge fan of bleak dramas and most of them I'll probably never watch again. Dead Man's Letters, Angst, most Michael Haneke films, that kind of thing.

Joker. I really really liked it as a film. But I don’t wanna feel the way it made me feel again

Things like Schindler's List or A Clockwork Orange or Barefoot Gen that would be too traumatic.
But mostly I don't get this. I don't think I can really say I enjoyed a film if it gets a "never again" out of me, barring the stated reason.

See this one I would.
Barefoot Gen covers similar ground but where GotF makes a plaything of your heart BG is that + it makes your eyes bleed and stomach turn.

A Ghost Story & Elephant both burrowed into my brain, and I will never watch either again.
The Hateful Eight is not re-watchable.
Most biopics are good for just one viewing.

The Lighthouse (2019) is one of the best movies I watched recently. I'm never watching it again though. It's a great film, but it's also extremely unsettling. It was entertaining and quite well done, but I don't think I want to sit through that again.

It has nothing to do with attention span. I love 3 hour movies, but I also have kids. A 3 hour movie is a hell of an endeavor to take on in my spare time.

Henry: Portrait of a serial killer. I'd argue it's a great movie and should be seen.... but there is no way I would ever subject myself to it again.

I rarely rewatch movies so... most of them?

Totally worth watching a second time when you know though

I agree with that. Excellent movie but would definitely be on a “never watch again” list.

For some odd reason it's become a Christmas movie --- I always see it on some basic cable channel in December

I just much prefer to reread “Rita Hayworth And Shawshank Redemption” whenever I have the urge to revisit this story.

Phew, I forgot all about this movie! My first Don Cheadle flick. The bit where he gets out of the car and can't walk without standing on a body... spine-chilling movie. Definitely a one and done.
NonuTheGOAT t1_iy1t3i3 wrote
Because it's one of the most successful movies ever and also is kind of safe - bit of artful nudity and offscreen sex but otherwise a family-friendly romance/tragedy that gets eyeballs when nothing else is on.
NonuTheGOAT t1_iy1tc9g wrote
Ugh. The Hateful Eight, you’re too right. It wasn't a good enough film to justify being so horrifically violent IMO. No other movie has ever made me feel sick afterwards.
I want to watch it again to see if I enjoy it more on the second go (like many Tarantino films) but I just can't.

Enter the Void
Super interesting but disorienting in a way that I don’t need to revisit.

Same with the caveat that I will (have) absolutely rewatch Willem Dafoe's monologue on YouTube a lot.

I have to chuckle that you called out Seven Samurai. I it saw years ago and recently recorded it off TCM, but have yet to get around to watching it because it’s so long.
I saw a Platoon once and purposely have never watched it again. It was pretty intense and made quite the impact, but I fear that if I watch it again I’ll be desensitized to everything that’s going on and it will lose its impact

Christine (2016) I knew of the real tragedy of Christine Chubbuck's final days, but the tension in that movie's final act was something else. Rebecca Hall gave such a powerful, haunting performance that was just gut-wrenching by the end. She deserves so much more praise
EDIT: grammar

I guess you're right --- it kinda replaced "Sound of Music" as a movie they always show around the holidays, but has nothing to do with Christmas

It might be Cameron's best work but definitely not Leo's
