Films You Can't Watch Again

[Sir Lancelot]

Which films can you not watch again, for whatever reason, even though you enjoyed them?

For me, it's the Ian Curtis/Joy Division film Control.
I suffer from depression, etc anyway and choosing to watch that film at 1am when I was feeling a bit low was a very bad idea.
Even knowing Ian's story, and how his short life ended, I wasn't prepared for how bleak the film was and how absolutely devastates I felt when it finished.

You?

Hachi a dogs tale-jeez I've never cried at a film as much as I did that one!

 

[Woolmercardington]

Thd Father.

The Elephant Man.

 

[Warriorqueen]

The Green Mile and The Color Purple. I just can’t bear what the characters go through.

The Green Mile and The Color Purple. I just can’t bear what the characters go through.

The Green Mile is such a great, great film... poor John Coffey.

The Elephant Man. I really didn't think it would have mentioned so soon!

My late partner woke up in a panic to sounds of me wailing and sobbing because of that film.

 

[Sheeeet]

Dead Man's Shoes - a really good film but so disturbing

 

[Lola UK]

Stepmom! Don’t think I’ll ever subject myself to that again

 

[UnknownTattler]

Marley and Me, and any film where an animal dies. Just reading the plot of that Hachi film is enough
Requiem for a Dream, The Pianist, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Eden Lake. I usually like horror films, but not that one.

A few years ago I was flicking through them Christmas movie channels that used to play tv movies - I came across one called ‘’The Christmas Shoes’’, genuinely one of the saddest films I have ever seen in my life, it ruined me

 

[Rosie glow]

Watership down (no explanation necessary just horrific)

A star is born ( wasn't expecting that ending)

Titanic (love it but gets me everytime)

 

[Megansnarkle]

Grave of the Fireflies

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Grave of the Fireflies

Oh, that film!

 

[hehehe]

VVitch
Prisoners
Banshees of Innisherin
Mystic River
Django Unchained
Apocalypto
Pan's Labyrinth (watched this 2x - the second time was 15yrs after the first and I remembered why I had vowed not to watch it again)

I think there's already a thread of this topic somewhere.

Apologies.

This is mine too - broke my heart!

Halloween III: Season Of The Witch for me.

I was always a fan of horror films, but when I got pregnant I was very sick, 24 hours a day for 9 months and I vomited all the way through this film (it was on tv)!

Now every time I see it's going to be on tv or worse, hear the "3 more days to Hallowen" song I have to make a dash for the bathroom

Btw it's NOT a great film but I don't think that influences my response to it

 

[springheeledyeti]

The Boy in The Striped pyjamas and Irreversible.

 

[Tinkerbell cat]

Hachi a dogs tale - I don’t normally cry at films but that honestly broke my heart

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I have no desire to sit through Antichrist, the Lars Von Trier film, again.
