Allow me to lead by example.
My wife, wondrous woman though she be, steadfastly refuses to watch any/all of the following, for the reasons stated:
1.) Au Hasard Balthazar -- Upset by any instance(s) of animals being mistreated.
2.) Kes -- see above, except even more strongly (devoted bird fancier).
3.) Barfly -- Turned off by films focusing on alcoholics and drunks.
4.) Leaving Las Vegas -- Also hates Nicholas Cage, so this one is like Example #3 on steroids.
You get the idea.
