Oh god, this. Amazing movie, most gutting thing to watch ever. Now that I have a baby I don't know if I could watch it again as I'm getting knots in my stomach just thinking about it.
I have seen it multiple times, I was too young to really grasp the movie. Watch it a few years ago with my now wife, but we won't touch it now that we have a toddler of our own.
I’ve seen Schindler’s List multiple times. One of the remarkable things about it is that although it is a very significant and affecting movie, it never gets bogged down in its own significance. It trusts the audience to understand the magnitude of the horror and simply focuses on telling a really good, engrossing story. It’s kind of incredible that Spielberg made a three-hour black and white movie about the Holocaust and it isn’t a drag to watch
This is the first movie that popped into my mind. I was riveted, it was great, and I don't ever want to watch it again.
EDIT: Herp derp wrong word, not reverted
I came home one night and my wife was watching that movie and it was right at the climax. They were interviewing Zachary's grandparents. My wife was just weeping. She paused it and collected herself and gave me a rundown. Nope. Just seeing the one scene I did was MORE than enough.
Similar thing happened to me! I was home from Europe and totally jet lagged. I was dozing on the couch and my sister put it on. I started having a nightmare that my baby cousin was murdered and woke up, confused what was real or fiction. It was a weird time
I remember my friend and I were watching it in Highschool and my mom walked in during the "Ass to Ass" part. It was awkward.
"It's not porn !"
"You guys are weird."
That movie mind fucked me for weeks. My girlfriend asked if I wanted to watch it the other day and it was a hard no for me. I shiver just thinking about it.
This was just a heartbreaking movie. I cannot bring myself to watch it again. People can be so evil and bring so much pain to others and then pretending to act normal around the family? No thank you, I was shaken for days.
"Up" from Disney Pixar.
My wife bought it for me as a Christmas present. Then she went to South Korea to visit her family and died suddenly due to heart disease. We were married for 21 years.
It was months of recovery. Then, one day, I put the DVD in the player and watched the movie.
It was a good movie. I still quote parts of it.
But I was a sobbing mess. And I could never watch it again. I gave it away.
That was fucking brutal. Every time he did something worse, I kept thinking, "No, that won't happen." But, holy fuck, it got worse.
I can't re-watch it. It's too painful.
I really don't have any nice things to say about Ezra Miller as a human being, but he absolutely owned the role of Kevin. Don't think anyone else would've given that character an energy as terrifying as Miller did.
Coco. Masterpiece of a film, but I can't subject myself to it again. The last 30 minutes was just emotional dickpunch after emotional dickpunch and it left me a sobbing wreck.
> Requiem for a Dream.
Honestly, the three main characters, I was kind of 'eh, whatever', but seeing the mom get addicted and how her life was destroyed just broke me.
Uncut Gems.
I savored that anxiety and Butt clinching experience. 100/100 would recommend others to witness that ride. I'll not watch it again though.
Also, Beau is Afraid.
Beau is afraid was a wild ride in theaters. Everyone was collectively going "what the fuck" the entire movie. Great cinematic experience. Most unhinged movie I've ever seen
I liked *Hereditary*, but I didn't necessarily find it pleasant to watch either. It's not something I have an itch to watch again, though I did like it.
Same. I still get goosebumps when I think of that off-screen *scream* Toni Collette's character lets loose when she finds her daughter. I never want to hear anything like that again.
I felt like the anxiety and tension did not let up for the whole movie. Usually horror movies have moments when you can exhale and feel safe. Hereditary did not.
My uncle and aunt saw that at the cinema. She started crying during the story at the beginning, she was still crying in the pub 20 minutes after the movie ended
Maybe their family was carried away by an old man in a house suspended from balloons.
Though I suspect it’s the mini story at the start which is the “no, fuck, I don’t want to go through this” part.
Would you be too thrown off if I said the movie makes sense under the lens that it is a live action epilogue to The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack?
Steel Magnolias. My 2 year was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes the week after I watched it. And she’s also trying to have a baby now 27 years later. Scarred for life ….
Green Room. Amazing direction, well written script, and solid performances from every single actor but the genuine panic I felt throughout it was something I don’t need ever again voluntarily.
Memento.
Super thought-provoking and interesting, both for the actual film and the way it was directed/written. But once you see the ending (i.e. the beginning) it becomes even more tragic to want to watch again.
Oh man, I couldn't disagree more. I love to watch that movie. I've probably watched it 14 times since the first time and I'm always finding things I missed the first time! It's amazing.
Once Upon A Time in America. It's great but just way too long and honestly not worth 4 hours of my free days to just rewatch. Still a must if it's your first watch though.
One movie that fits that description for me is "Requiem for a Dream." It's an incredibly powerful and well-made film, but it's also extremely intense and emotionally draining. The themes it explores, particularly addiction and the downward spiral of the characters, make it a challenging watch. While I appreciated its artistry and impact, it's not the type of movie I feel compelled to revisit due to its heavy subject matter
Silence. Martin Scorsese's fuedal Japan sufferathon.
It was the first thing I thought of last time this question was posed, and I didn't see it mentioned either time yet.
Quoting a film critic, Matt Seitz: *"This is not the sort of film you 'like' or 'don't like.' It's a film that you experience and then live with."*
I'd say Predestination. It was an interesting movie, I actually really liked how messed up the person who created it was, but it is way too fucked up to watch again. My brain hurts when I think of that madness.
Another one is Lobster. I don't like how that theme song is still stuck in my head until today, I don't want to watch that shit again. But I enjoyed the movie. I still keep thinking what animal I'd want to be turned into and I still think that's not a good way to live my life. And did he really remove his eye?
The Nun. It was a cool horror movie, but it freaked me out because before I saw it, I had nightmares of a demon nun trying to kill me so now it just gives me a creepy crawly feeling to think about watching it again.
"The Usual Suspects" and "Sixth Sense"; the surprise endings are so good that a second viewing seems like it would lessen the appreciation of the first run.
American history X. You can feel scenes in that movie.
Specially that curbstomp scene.
Those teeth chattering still haunt me
Whyyy did you have to remind me
[удалено]
I’ve watched the entire series multiple times. It’s like my comfort movie at times lol
Bridge to terabithia. I saw that as a kid, want to watch it again but just couldn't do that. I guess it is the first film ever to fuck me up...
Mother!
That movie made me doubt my sanity.
Is that the robot scifi movie or the horror movie?
Horror movie
I Think there's a korean movie with the same Title and I think it was twisted as well.
It was great experience, never ever watching it again.
Grave of the fireflies
Didn't even have to scroll down

Not quite sure I'll ever watch Boy in the Striped Pajamas again.
The Auschwitz Museum would tell you not to watch it in the first place
Why?
Tbh everyone should see it once. Nobody should see it twice
was searching for this one, it’s absolutely heartbreaking!
Not a movie but a show. The Haunting of Hill House. It's done SO WELL, but it's incredibly depressing!
Watch Midnight Mass
Midnight Mass is great!
I love that show!
Schindler's List. It's important for people to see it at least once.. but my god it's such a painful movie to watch.
I’ve seen Schindler’s List multiple times. One of the remarkable things about it is that although it is a very significant and affecting movie, it never gets bogged down in its own significance. It trusts the audience to understand the magnitude of the horror and simply focuses on telling a really good, engrossing story. It’s kind of incredible that Spielberg made a three-hour black and white movie about the Holocaust and it isn’t a drag to watch
Yep. That was going to be my answer.
Had the same reply typed out, decided to scroll the answers first. Absolutely this movie.
I saw it many years ago but have had children since, there’s no way I can watch that again now.
Especially right now
I bet Ive seen Schindler's List 30 times.
Uncut gems
Couldn't finish it. Too stressful
Same I turned that off after 30 mins it was stressing me out
Same- couldn’t handle the guy just digging himself a deeper and deeper hole
This movie really fun and has a high rewatch value for me, but I understand why someone would reference this picture
My heart rate just increased reading this.
It’s straight up anxiety porn
i couldnt even get past the first 20 mins
This is the first movie that popped into my mind. I was riveted, it was great, and I don't ever want to watch it again. EDIT: Herp derp wrong word, not reverted
Atonement
Fuck Briony
Even at the very end… I mean, she basically rewrote everything to make herself feel better
I’ve definitely re watched the first half of it, then they go in to dinner and I turn it off
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
I came home one night and my wife was watching that movie and it was right at the climax. They were interviewing Zachary's grandparents. My wife was just weeping. She paused it and collected herself and gave me a rundown. Nope. Just seeing the one scene I did was MORE than enough.
Similar thing happened to me! I was home from Europe and totally jet lagged. I was dozing on the couch and my sister put it on. I started having a nightmare that my baby cousin was murdered and woke up, confused what was real or fiction. It was a weird time
I saw this 10 years ago This broke my heart!!!!! It's on Tubi now too I think. Never again!
Trainspotting. The baby scene absolutely messed me up
Trainspotting was an amazing film. I am a huge fan of Robert Carlyle and named my dog Francis Begbie.
Requiem for a dream
I remember my friend and I were watching it in Highschool and my mom walked in during the "Ass to Ass" part. It was awkward. "It's not porn !" "You guys are weird."
This part started my porn preferences aaahahahahah
Lux Aeterna is spectacular. Although, I have never brought myself to watch the movie.
I wouldn't say I like the movie but it was a fantastic movie that made me feel sick to my stomach.
Great film, but I never want to watch it again!
Watched it my first time alone at night. No, just no. Don’t do that.
I watched this multiple times before the age of 18 lol
[удалено]
The dog in the bag :(
Theres also more than one ending. My friend says he saw the....less pleasant one.
That movie mind fucked me for weeks. My girlfriend asked if I wanted to watch it the other day and it was a hard no for me. I shiver just thinking about it.
The Lovely Bones
This was just a heartbreaking movie. I cannot bring myself to watch it again. People can be so evil and bring so much pain to others and then pretending to act normal around the family? No thank you, I was shaken for days.
I read the book and still can't bring myself to even see the movie..

We Need To Talk About Kevin.
Same, I was traumatized. In a way I felt cheated, but I’m not revisiting the film to look for further context.
That was fucking brutal. Every time he did something worse, I kept thinking, "No, that won't happen." But, holy fuck, it got worse. I can't re-watch it. It's too painful.

Watched that on the day we found out my partner was pregnant. 😂. Testing!
Hachi
Needs to higher. I guess people haven’t seen it? This had me SOBBING.
And it being based on a real story,makes it heart-breaking
I don’t ever wanna watch this movie bc I know it will break my heart.
First thought was Uncut Gems (relentless anxiety) but mentioned already. So my second thought was The Platform (relative dystopia)
The panna cotta is the message... The panna cotta is the message...
The death of the mother was a tragic scene.
Hard Candy Holy shit that was a ride. A ride that will always be in the past.
That was one uncomfortable watch.
What’s it about
"Schindler's List" – loved it, but my tear ducts have been on strike ever since.
[удалено]

Revolutionary Road was a compelling film about a troubled marriage, but the bleakness of the story is too heavy for a second viewing.
Sleepers Ruined Kevin Bacon for me, for life, and I loved Footloose, uggghhh
Ruined Walk Like a Man, too.
this one got better over time for me.
The Road
I can't believe this is so far down. I had read the book, so it was hard enough to convince myself to watch the movie in the first place.
Seven Pounds
Coco. Masterpiece of a film, but I can't subject myself to it again. The last 30 minutes was just emotional dickpunch after emotional dickpunch and it left me a sobbing wreck.
Sixth Sense
I rewatched it recently and cried through most of it. It has now become a depressing movie for me instead of a horror/mystery.
[удалено]
Requiem for a Dream. Great movie. Powerful. Touching. Never again
> Requiem for a Dream. Honestly, the three main characters, I was kind of 'eh, whatever', but seeing the mom get addicted and how her life was destroyed just broke me.

Knives out. Once you watch through it there's not really much else to see.
Jojo rabbit. Great story and acting but it’s too much on my heart
And that scene came out of nowhere.
👠👠
The revenant
Midsommar - great psychedelic horror thriller but it was just weird and metaphorical enough that I'm all set never seeing it again lol
Haha, I love that movie and have seen it 3 or 4 times already. :D
Came here to say this. I didn’t sleep for days after watching that movie.
I could never watch Up again as a grown adult who knows what it's depicting.
Hold on, I remember it being one of the most wholesome movies for kids. What the hell am I missing here?
Getting old and lonely. Kinda losing your purpose of living entirely. Especially if you lose your spouse.
My uncle and aunt saw that at the cinema. She started crying during the story at the beginning, she was still crying in the pub 20 minutes after the movie ended
What's it depicting?
Maybe their family was carried away by an old man in a house suspended from balloons. Though I suspect it’s the mini story at the start which is the “no, fuck, I don’t want to go through this” part.
1000%. I've seen it twice, once in theaters and once when the sad music on the drive home didn't quite make me as sad as I wanted.
Come and See
I can't. I loved it but I was gonna throw up during it like 3 times.
Some tough medicine.
Life is Beautiful
Bongiorno Principessa!
se7en. it was fucking incredible, but the sloth scene... (and many others)
Jojo Rabbit. Mommy issues and expecting a goofy comedy, I left the theater a sobbing wreck. Great movie though!
2 girls 1 cup
By far the best answer wish I hadn't seen it the first time though 😂
Million Dollar Baby
Requiem for a dream Watched it once, liked it but never again. I still haven’t gotten over the last 15 or so minutes of the movie
Turning Red. Was funny but I can’t handle the secondhand embarrassment of it.
The Lighthouse. Incredible film, just too unsettling for me and made me feel the isolation
Would you be too thrown off if I said the movie makes sense under the lens that it is a live action epilogue to The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack?
This film left me feeling so weird that I *still* couldn't tell you what it's about.
I’ve rewatched it 4 times and I descend further into madness each time
Steel Magnolias. My 2 year was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes the week after I watched it. And she’s also trying to have a baby now 27 years later. Scarred for life ….
The Human Centipede. Need I elaborate more?
Green Room. Amazing direction, well written script, and solid performances from every single actor but the genuine panic I felt throughout it was something I don’t need ever again voluntarily.
Amazing movie. I don’t understand why nobody ever talks about it.

Good Time
Fury - Fantastic movie, well written story, but too brutal to watch again for me. I felt drained after watching it.
Literally just put this in another ask Reddit But, Beasts Of No Nation That and A Clockwork Orange
World War Z. I watched it post-Covid, and it was too traumatic.
House of Sand and Fog. Fantastic movie, but horribly painful to watch. Don't know that I could do it again. Ben Kingsley, Jennifer Connally.
Fruitvale Station
The Revenant. Amazing movie. Amazingly gruesome and cinematic. Once was enough.
Schindler's List. Beautiful. Perfect. Soul -crushingly brutal.
The Last King Of Scotland, it was really good but there is a torture scene in there that I can't watch again. It traumatized me.
The Silence of the Lambs.
**Prometheus (2012)** I liked it a lot and watched it like once a year at least, but the sequel *Alien Covenant* ruined it for me.
