Have you ever watched a film and thought it was good, but not wanted to watch it again?
I watched Ikiru a couple of years ago. It was in the book I'm working through called '1,001 movies to see before you die' and while I liked the film (beautifully shot in b&w with great performances, especially from Takashi Shimura) the storyline was something I probably couldn't ever bring myself to watch again.
I was sucked into the story of this characters tragic circumstances and found it to be a rollercoaster ride of emotion. I have seen it in the TV listings since but whenever I see it I just can't bring myself to watch it.
I suppose that compliments the films strength of story, acting and atmosphere the film creates.
