I asked this question over on NOSF, but was unable to read the responses due to Excoboard's demise. But my research group and I need to ask again. So, I apologize if you've already answered - but feel free to state your movies again. And I thank you all for your answers - I'm sure they'll be a big help.
A while back, Sportsjock created a post of really good movies, and fellow NOSF-ers replied with what they thought were really good films. There were many interesting and varying answers. What my research group is doing is writing a report on what we consider 'Difficult Movies' - movies that are really, really good, but once you've seen them once, you never want to see them again.
Examples we've found and are currently researching include - The Woodsman, Moebius, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Brokeback Mountain, and Elephant.
What about you all? Any suggestions? In addition to your movie, please explain why you'd never watch the really good movie again.
Thank you all!

Schindler's List... hands down for me. I know why it's hard to watch again, but in your own words, why? |

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The scene where the boy is killed in front of his parents was too much. Just unbearable what the parents must have felt.
Brokeback Mountain.Two guys making out just gives me the willies(no pun intended)

Schindler's List... hands down for me. I know why it's hard to watch again, but in your own words, why? I remember being terribly bothered by some of the scenes.... I own the movie and have never watched it again. While I think it is terribly important that we understand what happened and why it happened, it's not something that I choose to watch on any kind of regular basis. Here in Detroit, we have a Holocaust Museum that is huge for taking kids classes too, but I have never been there and I'm not sure that I will ever choose to go there. What man can do to man without mercy or concern, is what I think bothers me the most. I'm not a light weight, but the unrelenting lack of humanity really bothers me. |

I have trouble watching Band of Brothers and We Were Soldiers Once, for the reasons of being 82nd. Airborne and in Vietnam.  |

Band of Brothers is the best war series/movie ever done IMO. Amazing...

I cannot watch Blackhawk Down.
Political leadership made decisions directly leading to the inability to provide the necessary military response to protect and rescue them..

For me it is Sophie's Choice." I watched it once years ago and consider it to be a great film. I will never cue it up again.

Thank you GoKats, believe me it is far more appreciated to be thanked for serving and honoring our nation than what it was over 43 years ago when we got home we were called baby killers and spit on for doing what our country asked us to do. I got even whit two of these guys that spit on me in San Francisco, I literally beat the $h*t out of these two guys and it took a couple of cops to pull me off of them but instead of getting arrested one of the officer was an 82nd. Airborne trooper from WW2 and he told me that he wasn't going to arrest me that he saw the other guys started it and us brothers in arms always stick together. Naturally I took him to the side and gave him a couple of swags from my vase of TENNESSEE TEA!  |
