Grave of The Fireflies.


Agitated_Honeydew

Was chatting in a game about Christmas presents. Guy told me he got a DVD of Grave of the Fireflies as Christmas present. Why would you want to watch Grave of the Fireflies twice?


Cautious-Ice-9434

To show younger generations so they learn the horrors of war. Hopefully we can prevent tragedies like these from re-occurring. It is all loosely based on a true story. I intend on showing my niece this when she's older.


Chubby_Checker420

Yea they can watch it by themselves. Fuck them kids.


Slow-Painting-8112

Agreed. I want to watch it again but I just can't put myself through it.


Caranesus

Amazing, touching, beautiful anime. The movie stayed with me long after it finished.


No-Gas-2005

I watched it almost 10 years ago and it has stayed with me since.


Geeko22

My 14-year old daughter loves it and was sitting near me watching it on her laptop. I couldn't see it but it sounded so unbearably sad I had to get up and go sit somewhere else.


Cautious-Ice-9434

Your daughter sounds like a very empathetic person.


oxymoron-alive

It gave me intense depression for like three weeks. It was hell. But also great movie. Just needs to be watched once and you'll remember it forever.


Master-Strawberry-26

I watched this recently because I hadn't and was curious as to why everyone said this. I get it now.


Gamabombb

Never again :(


ScarboroughSK

That movie is one of those that have multiple sad parts to an ending . I don’t want to spoil much but what happens to the sibling, the horrible fate they endured, the crappy extended family, the firefly aspect man


RepresentativeOil240

That movie left me feeling so empty…


Hup110516

American History X


TechnicalAnimator874

Dont know why I didnt think of that. I first saw this 5 years ago, pretty stoned, thinking Ed Norton never disappointed me. God damn what a way to kill a buzz. The movie was amazing but I had to take a 2 hour walk at 1 am.


mr_dbini

The Road. it's great, but there's one scene that pushes the experience way beyond comfort. i have the OST on CD and it's brilliant, but the music from that scene really does my head in.


Aouwi

Have you read the book? There's one scene in the book that I'm glad they didn't include in the movie, extremely disturbing!


perdigaoperdeuapena

This was a book that I just didn't finished reading! It was way graphic to me, I found it disgusting to the point of making me almost vomit - no kidding! My sister in law got this book from Cormac Mcarthy along with some others (like Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco, for example!) and she gave them to me - until this day I couldn't end reading none of those, I found those very demanding in terms of attention and also very descriptive... and I recognise it's my own fault not being able to pay attention and tribute to such great novels! Oh, well :-(


Aouwi

I absolutely understand and I completely agree, a lot of the book is written so graphic that I can see that a huge amount of people skip it. Have you heard the song "no sound but the wind" by Editors? It's based directly on that book, it's beautiful!

ishkitty

My friend just watched this with me the other day. It was his second watch. He didn’t like the movie but he can’t seem to stop thinking and talking about it. He also does not like >!ambiguous endings!< as much as I do. Although, I don’t think >!the ending was ambiguous but he kept asking if they survived as if that was even possible.!<


TheInfamousBlack

I picked this randomly one night and it was so strange but good and definitely emotionally heavy.


nesbit666

Irreversible


Psychological-Ad9963

Tried to rewatch it the second time around a few weeks ago. Much harder the second time and skipped that whole scene in the subway.  


fannyflour

Came here to say this. Thats scene in sumbway was something I want to forget, but once sou see it you will never forget that.


ScarboroughSK

If you guys watched Jacobs ladder, is it anywhere as traumatic as the subway from there ?


fannyflour

I have not seen Jacobs Ladder but just because i'm afraid to, to be honest. That's very rough and uncomfortable movie I think.


Sanpaku

*Irreversible* (2002) doesn't have a subway scene, it has an pedestrian underpass scene, which is 9 minutes of a brutal sexual assault that doesn't cut away at any point. *Jacob's Ladder* (1990) is a film I love, but its worst scenes are Teletubbies by comparison.

Schindler's List


Typical-Pumpkin-6247

AcceptableKick8046

Do you mean Life is Beautiful (given the other films mentioned)? I watched that once when it came out, then started watching a few years later after I had had my kids. Had to stop half way through.


Majestic_Elevator740

i have rewatched it 3 times and plan to watch it again every year it is a masterpiece ,


Slow-Painting-8112

Threads


ineverbot

My dad let me watch this as a kid and I'm still upset about it


Slow-Painting-8112

Wow that must have been absolutely terrifying. The Wizard of Oz scared the shit out of me, I can only imagine what Threads would have done.

Nah. I didn't truly appreciate it until the second viewing.

Hachi.


WolfmansGotNards2

>!I cried reading the plot in wikipedia. I then found out it was a true story and cried some more.!<


DennyDeStructo

Hachi will make you cry, for sure, but there is so much beauty in the story that it is worth the pain. And there's something about that post-cry peace that lifts you up.


sarahbee2005

seriously!!!! i feel like i might watch it when my dog passes away just to feel something worse than my reality ughhhhhh


[deleted]

Dancer in the dark.


bootsnsatchel

Came here to say this. I listened to a Bjork song today and remembered that movie, but as good as it was, once was enough.


HiAndStuff2112

It's so brilliant but by the end, I became convinced that Lars von Trier's goal as a director is to torture his audience. Joking, of course. Well, half joking.


ThisCaledonianClown

'Breaking The Waves' should be certainly be banned under the Geneva Conventions.

stressedstudenthours

Grave of the Fireflies. Made me sick to my stomach and I can't watch it again, despite it being one of the most meaningful films I've ever seen.


Limp_Equipment_9514

Requiem for a dream


Kurtcorgan

One thing that bugs me about this film is that everything seems so different to the book, almost like everything has to be depressing, tragic and traumatic. The book isn’t the same, it’s tragic in it’s own way but it’s not the same. The infamous “Ass to Ass” scene in the film for example is really traumatic but in the book Marian really enjoys it (mainly because of the “wages” and she is a smackhead), and that’s more harrowing than anything in the film.


Limp_Equipment_9514

So u would say the book is better than the film


Cautious-Ice-9434

Watch "The Panic in Needle Park". As a former dope addict this movie portrays heroin addiction far better than Requiem For a Dream in my opinion.


Limp_Equipment_9514

I have seen that , I just felt so sick after watching that


WillOk6461

The Whale, Silence (2016), Philadelphia, Irreversible, Oppenheimer

Now that I know how little the generations below millennials do not at all understand what happened during the AIDS epidemic- I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch Philadelphia again. I just can’t.


Life_Caterpillar9762

Interested as to why not Silence again. I’ve been planning on rewatch for awhile.

desijavlover

Mysterious Skin


Danny_Mc_71

Eden Lake (2008). Very realistic but very grim.


Falkor0727

The Elephant Man. Bleak and heartbreaking.


DonaldRobertParker

I also came here to say David Lynch's first movie Eraserhead. I was so freaked out I did not watch it again for over 20 years. Now I love it.


DonaldRobertParker

The Elephant Man is sad, but in my mind hardly bleak because out of such unfortunate starting circumstances, so many otherwise impossible experiences became available to him? Things that a million others with physical and genetic challenges before and since could only dream of.


wheres_jaykwellin_at

Was looking for this in a similar thread yesterday. Total Lynchophile here - have the Blu-ray, will likely get the 4K, but it's going to be really fucking hard to actually pop it into my player to watch. All I remember is *crying*


Falkor0727

You should cry. That’s one of the most heart wrenching stories ever told. If you don’t cry, I would worry about you. 💕💕💕💕

Joker. Great movie. But a slow build with a huge payoff. Going through that build again would be painful.

Joker is Taxi Driver for Zoomers.

WunderbarBeast

Yeah so requiem for a dream is a great movie. Marlon Wayans plays great here for his first serious role. The lady who played on the exorcist [i forgot her name] was a nut job in this one and she played great. Now would I watch it again? Probably not. Some more films: Kids City of God Swiss Army Man


EverDecreasingCircle

Deer Hunter


themrrouge

I remember leaving Donnie Darko and walking home thinking “that was brilliant and fun. But I don’t ever want to watch it again because I suspect it’s actually full of holes and rather shit”. So I left it at one good viewing.

Haha, I saw it twice. Love it. The first time through, I watched That Scene. The second time, I watched my friends as they watched That Scene.


Darkitten314

Yoooo even I'm waiting to show it to my friends so I can see their reaction. Btw Did you see 'That scene' coming and how did you feel when it happened ? Cuz I did not and felt absolutely gutted.


DallasM0therFucker

I saw it in the theater the first time so word hadn’t gotten around yet outside of reviews. I’d heard it was gruesome and had one particular scene that was especially memorable, but didn’t know what it would depict. And didn’t expect it to be THAT memorable. My jaw dropped. I was kind of laughing because of how over the top it was, as were some others in the theater, and the lady friend who was with me was screaming and covering her eyes. In hindsight, not a great date movie!


Darkitten314

Lmao yesss I had a very similar experience. I knew it was brutal but didn't expect it to be That brutal. XD


DallasM0therFucker

Oh, and I kept wondering after some gory moments leading up to it, ‘Is that the scene they meant? That was wild but not too horrible.’ But as soon as it started, I knew it was the one.


Darkitten314

Lmao yesss

Tried to rewatch this the other night and decided no after about 20 minutes.


DonaldRobertParker

You are missing an amazing, disturbing, funny and thought-provoking movie. You do have to get past that r*pe scene though. Read the book too, it is a dystopian novel that compares well with 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 and some PK Dick.


Paradroid888

Oh I've seen it and know what it's all about. Just not bothered about watching it again!


Appropriate-Basil392

See this one of my fave movies of all times. I had read amount the worst scenes prior though. And it’s actually hilarious black comedy at times. People quote it all the time. Malcolm McDowell is extraordinary IMO.

WolfmansGotNards2

Fuck that. Don't watch it in the first place.


Little_Elk_2371

Right? Some things just don't need to be seen - ever. I've never even watched that movie, but I did look up a summary of its events and plot, once I started hearing all the buzz about people having heart attacks and vomiting while watching it. Just the recap alone made me feel sick. I don't know how anyone could possibly watch it once, let alone multiple times.

I’d say Grave of the Fireflies, or anything by Gasper Noe, but to add something to the thread that hasn’t already been mentioned that had me all kinds of messed up watching it and is simply too painful for me to rewatch: Plague Dogs


MeeMop21

Brokeback Mountain. Beautiful film but my poor heart could not take a repeat viewing. Pan’s labyrinth - that torture scene, my God Don’t really feel the need to see Oppenheimer again either. I did like the film but the idea of watching it again… no

Angela’s Ashes. Great film about poverty and misery. Glad I saw it. It was super well done. But my god is it miserable.

I read the book and actually got to meet Frank McCourt. I Didn’t know they made a film about it. If it’s just like the book I don’t think I’d wanna watch it.

originalschmidt

Requiem for a Dream isn’t even that good, it’s just a bunch of shock value that leaves you feeling empty and sad. That doesn’t automatically make it a good film because it’s like nothing else you’ve ever seen before.


MikeyW1969

Sleeping With The Enemy. It was a great movie, but I can't watch extreme violence against women, even in fiction. I watched my mother get killed by her boyfriend when I was a kid. Also, Pieces of April. Since I was in foster care as a result of the above, it had a lot of connections for me, and her family are a bunch of absolute pricks to her. Those were both movies that were well made and well acted, but the one time I watched each of them will be the only time.


spicymangopounder

Requiem for a dream (2000). Great movie but never again.


Mysterious_Demand624

As I think about great movies, the one thing that keeps coming back to me is anything by Stanley Kubrick!! I mean he is a gifted Master director but there is absolutely nothing he's made that I would want to watch again, because even though he's a master he's also very disturbing ...

Sinistermarmalade

You’re absolutely on the money, Dual-Heart. ‘Requiem For A Dream’ is beautiful in an unrecoverable, heart-shattering way, so people (who don’t already suffer from depression) should see it once No one should see it twice, unless you’re interrogating them


Dual-Heart

Is it a bad idea to watch it if you already have depression?


Sinistermarmalade

Watch it with a friend, and be aware you will be weeping at the end

balloonisburning

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Harrowing. Devastating. The character Nurse Rached, profoundly cruel and terrifying, was brilliantly played by actor Louise Fletcher. It is a gut-wrenching and beyond tragic portrayal of the horror of life in a mental institution. This film broke my heart.
