great films you never want to watch again

Amazing movies that were difficult to watch:

- Lilja 4-Ever
- Hunger
- Dancer In The Dark
- The Piano Teacher
- Mysterious Skin
- Irreversible
- Michael

nobody has seen "COME AND SEE'??

I would add Fish Tank to this list, Sleeping Beauty (the Emily Browning version), and Kids. And if I dare straddle the boundary into documentary films; Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die. Powerful stuff but definitely not lining up to watch that one again.

Irreversible is best seen once only, imo. Anything more is sadistic titillation without constructive purpose. This, on the other hand, I've seen twice, for the performances and outstanding direction. It's a very solid piece of drama.

I strongly disagree about Requiem. I must have seen that movie at least half a dozen times. One of my all time favorite movies.

Der Untergang
Small Sacrifices

I haven't really seen any other good movies that left me with a depressed feeling. I haven't even seen this movie.

You have your opinions I have mine.

Here's a short list of films, which I consider to be good cinema, but which are either so sad, violent, disturbing, etc., that I was only able to watch them once. They are all well worth watching, but I just can't watch any of them again. They are not listed in any particular order.

Schindler's List
Requiem For a Dream
Brokeback Mountain
Sophie's Choice
Bent
American Psycho
Kids
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Half Nelson
The Parallex View
American History X
Chopper
Looking For Mr. Goodbar
Drugstore Cowboy
My Own Private Idaho
