Name A Movie You Loved But Cannot Watch More Than Once?
I probably would have to put American History X at the top of the list. For me it is the saddest movie I have seen in my life. I just cannot watch it again.

When you know the end, not much point to go through the whole thing again.

53. If you loved Amelie you also MUST see
"He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not". The movie begins showing events from Audrey Tautou's character's eyes... then starts all over again as seen through the eyes of her love object. Totally different story which explains everything. Clever technique, fascinating, and Audrey is at her best.

but seriously, Happenstance is a very cute movie.

The first time I saw it, I totally loved it.

I rented it again some months later and for whatever reason (my mood maybe?) I didn't enjoy it at all. I turned it off less than 1/2 way through.

26. Please don't snicker ... The Lion King
When Simba comes upon his dead father and tries to move his paw, to find a sign of life, I almost fell apart. I know it's anthropomorphizing to assign human emotions to animations (of all things!), but it just broke my heart.

FWIW, I could never bring myself to watch Bambi, because I had already heard what happens to Bambi's mother.

28. I was so pissed there were little kids in there with me seeing that!
I saw it in the theater when I was 18 or so.

MAN. I was gutted...and then here come Timon and Pumbaa. I was like, don't try that happy funny crap with me! I think they irritated me all the way up to Hakuna Matata.

At the time I could not understand AT ALL why someone would let their young children watch that scene, and I was mature enough to wonder that VERY LOUDLY at the close of the film.

My little kid loves that movie, but I still ff a few scenes in that movie--just hit me that it's probably not the most satisfying viewing experience for her!

43. The stampede....
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 09:55 AM by tjdee
highlight the white space below, didn't want to spoil the one person who hasn't seen it!

where Simba sees his father die, then tries to rouse him, and :cry: then climbs under his limp paw so it looks as if his dead father is holding him and lays there devastated. Scar then comes and runs a game on him, makes him think he's to blame for his father's death, and Simba then runs away--where the hyenas are waiting. He outruns them and passes out in the desert, all alone, presumably to die.


Emotionally loaded for young children, I think. Like I said, I was 18 or so and was not happy--and I'm not a touchy feely cry all the time kind of chick.
:(

31. "Fantastic Planet"
a Czech animated film I saw as a teenager. I enjoyed it then, but fear I would find it lacking now.

I actually enjoy watching the down beat and harrowing. It can move as art. Time and time again.

36. I was going to say American History X even before I
read the rest of your post. Excellent movie, great acting (esp. Edward Norton), but I never ever want to see it again. I think my blood pressure sky-rocketed during that movie. It was so sad, and so horrifying and so freaking disturbing.

My other picks would be F911 and Schindlers List.

Ellyn Berstein (sp) was just so good in this, one of the best of her career, just such a perfect example of loneliness, and when she talked about how it is getting old, I really lost it...and Louise Lasser was too...I really think it portraits all of lifes addictions...and Jennifer Connolly was one of her best...the movie left me breathless...Great filming technique too...

72. One that I would like to try and watch again
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 07:40 PM by EC
was Chelsea Walls with Kris Kristofferson but I don't know if I could handle it...The nightclub scene with Jimmy Scott singing "I Didn't Mean to Hurt You" was just so representative of the whole movie...Ethan Hawke did a good job directing and Uma Thurman as usual was superb...



on edit: along the same lines was Million Dollar Hotel, where Mel Gibson, once again decides to do some real acting...Amanda Plummer, Jimmi Smits and a score of others ...also want to try and watch again

Once you've been given the 'solution', it's all over.

I feel the same about "The Usual Suspects", but the performances are just so electrifying in that one, that I'll watch is again.

77. Sophie's Choice
I saw it when my kids were small and I was devastated for days on end. Kept flashing back to it. Wonderful movie but I could never do it again.

79. Anything by Quentin Tarantino
Good movies but they don't hold up well under repeated viewings, IMO.

82. Memento, definitely
Patriot w/Mel Gibson

any movie involving an animal which dies to forward the plot.

Although I finally got round to seeing Bambi when I had my own child and found that the bit with Bambi's mom didn't ruin the film for me as much as I anticipated it would. The forest fire was much scarier.

86. Shine
The crack-up scene was hard to watch. I thought the guy who played David Helfgott as young man was as good as Geoffrey Rush.

87. Bitter moon
Far too disturbing to watch again.

Sort of off topic - it seems every time somebody starts a movie thread, I chime in with a movie from 1992-1996. I don't know if this is because I watched a lot more movies back then, or if the movies were just better. I was certainly a lot more adventurous with my choices back then.

89. Sleepers
Oh my God, those poor little boys. :cry:
I'll never be able to watch that one again. I almost couldn't get through it the first time.
Tough movie to watch.

91. Trainspotting
I was living in England when I saw this and I had some friends that were waaay too much like the people in the film.

It creeped me out big time. Can't watch it again but I thought some of it was funny like the dirty sheets scene.

The baby on the ceiling was my worst scene ever!

92. Deliverance
a couple of characters in there would remind me too much of a typical Bush voter.
