I wouldn't see Life is Beautiful (1997) again, despite it being one of my all time favourite movies. The first time i saw it I was really caught up in the movie and it moved me like no other movie had before.

In retrospect I've got a perfect vision of what the movie meant to me at the time and to watch it again I'm almost scared my second viewing will somehow taint my first impression of it. It seems silly though, being so sentimental, because it's such a wonderful film.

Same here. In fact, there are super sad movies I've heard just enough about that I can't even bring myself to watch yet...like Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. I keep telling myself I need to see those one day.



I don't want to see again...

The Pianist (2002)
Sophie's Choice (1982) ~The 'choice' was just too heartwrenching for me to watch.
The Cooler (2003) It was well done and acted, just not my taste.

Old Yeller...seriously.....

Shawshank Redemption, too depressing

Very interesting topic. The idea of a movie so good that I don't want to see again I find peculiar.

The only movie I can come up with right now that would fit under these circumstances would be "Final Countdown". I'm a sucker for military movies, especially aircraft carrier ones, and while this one was good to me, I don't think I'd like to see it again. Probably for fear of not liking it. I tend to focus on a movie's weak points the times I see them again.

Just saw Vera Drake. Very good movie. Excellent performance by Imelda Staunton. I don't want to see it again.

The piansist made me cry. its true tho there are sad movies out there that you can only watch once, when you watch them a second time they lose a lot of their impact! scary movies also lose their impast during a second viewing. one movie that springs to mind is the japanese version of the ring it was scary the first time but the second time it was like *yawn*.

Spanglish

The Way of the Gun Good movie, I loved it, but too much Del Torro goes a loooong way.

He's got creepy eyes.

The first time I saw The Matrix I thought it was cinematic entertainment at its best. But for every time I watch it it becomes more and more uninteresting. It is a milestone because of the innovative action FX and coreography. But one or two times is enough. The sequel was a sleeping pill to me and the third one I yet haven't bothered to watch.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
