I'm fine with lgbt movies. I've seen a couple. I'm not fine with erotica bordering on porn, so I may never watch The Handmaiden, despite my love of the same director's movie Oldboy.
Great movies you might never watch.
Birth of a Nation (1915) apparently is a classic and for the time an extraordinary piece of film making, which the Library of Congress classify as being culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.
However, I have zero interest in watching a 3+ hr movie of that endorses racism and glorifyies the KKK.

I just can't bring myself to watch any of those grimdark-realistic communist movies like The Cranes are Flying.

Triumph of the Will would be the obvious answer.
As for a (slightly) less ideologically-based answer, I guess there's a bunch of Woody Allen movies I probably won't get around to.

Full Metal Jacket; I am just not into Vietnam Era War films.
It's almost like two complete movies in one.
The second half takes place in Viet Nam.

Is this referring to movies I personally think or expect to be great? If so, I try to watch every single one.
Birth of a Nation and Triumph of the Will for instance, and I mentioned Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom. I have zero interest in watching two hours of child torture, no matter how “great” it might be.

I love the first half (boot camp).

I agree. The first half was good, and then it just died right there.

I'm hardpressed to say never, since if a movie looks good to me there's always the slimmest chance I'll watch it some day. That being said, movies like Martyrs, Antichrist, Precious, Blue Valentine, Irréversible and Away From Her are lower on my priority list since they look particularly hard to watch either from a visual standpoint, psychological one or both.

Are we talking about the same movies? They’re both really good & very entertaining. Seen both more than once.

Listen to what my post said. From a visual OR psychological standpoint. Obviously a 20 minute rape scene isn't gonna be a walk in the park to watch, but Blue Valentine and Away From Her look difficult to watch from an emotional standpoint. Your husband getting checked in for Alzheimers and then falling in love with someone else, that sounds like one of the sh'ittiest things someone could ever go through. I'm also not alone in my accessment on Blue Valentine, those who have seen it have said it's not an easy movie to watch, due to its highly depressing depiction of a relationship gone bad.
I also said I think all of these movies look good, but for one reason or another I won't get to right away.

Schindler's List is considered one of the greatest films of the 1990'a and won Steven Spielberg his first Best Director Oscar but I really don't see myself watching it anytime soon.
