Great movies you don't want to watch a second time

... even when they were very good


- 12 years a slave


- Das weiße Band/The white ribbon


I recommend both if you haven't seen them. IMO they're too "heavy" to be watched as pure entertainment, nonetheless very good. Feel free to provde moar.

I keep meaning to watch Grave of the Fireflies. Need to find time without the kids around first though.

das boot
the passion
anything that makes me uncomfortable I suppose

[Jon Miller]

I was going to include The Passion but I have actually been thinking that a watching it again might be good... so I guess it isn't here after all.

Nineteen Eighty-Four (the 1984 version)

[Proteus_MST]

Cloud Atlas (2012)

Good for watching it once ... but that's enough

[Aeson]

Citizen Kane.

Disagree. I think that it is a film that is much better the second time you see it. You will not be distracted by the story discontinuities and can appreciate the acting, music, and visuals a lot more. It's not a movie that is harmed because you 'know the ending."

Okay, just watched Grave of the Fireflies. Glad I watched, but yes, once was enough.

BeBro, do you realize the father of the teacher's bride is Detlev Buck!? (re: white ribbon lol)

[The Mad Monk]

Most of them.

...

Except Aliens.

...

I must have watched that four dozen times while designing ships for Megatraveller.

[Dinner]

Never mind.

[Elok]

Nevermind was an album, not a movie, and while culturally significant I would definitely not call it "great."
