Movies that movie was good but I'll probably never watch it again

[rktaker]

So I was thinking recently about how obviously there's movies we see that are great and will re-watch it whenever we get the opportunity to whether it's on Tv or on DVD or whatever. There's movies are are completely terrible that we never want to see again. but What about movies that you think is good but will probably not watch it ever again whether it's because the Movie is just too sad and you don't feel like getting utterly depressed. or maybe the movie is in a genre you don't normally watch or just not in the mood to watch. or maybe a movie is so good you don't want to watch it again so you don't ruin it for yourself by picking out flaws in the movie.

for me it's the Child's Play 2019 reboot and it's simply because I don't watch horror movies because I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to them. so even thought I d think the movie is good it's not something I'm likely to go back soon probably ever.

I think mine are Old Boy and Grave of the Fireflies. They were both sooo great but also traumatizing. I have forbidden everyone around me from watching Old Boy. It's not safe for life!

The Child’s Play reboot didn’t even appeal to me, and I loved the originals. I still haven’t seen it.

As far as movies that I’ve only watched once and wouldn’t put the effort into watching again… most of them are just long movies. As good as they are, I can’t sit still for a 2.5-3 hour movie.

There are very few movies I'd watch multiple times. There's so much media I want to watch/read/play and will never have the time to.

Shaun of the Dead. I am terrified of zombies, to the point that I can't be in the same room as someone watching a zombie movie, film or game.

But I forced my way through that one and it was amazing, bit I will never watch it again.

I love Old Boy, easy to rewatch

Agree about Grave of the Fireflies though

Also never gonna watch Life is Beautiful again now that I'm a dad

How I am with books and games, but movies I can do after a long time due to them being much shorter time commitment, often will watch when playing games, perfect time to rewatch something

Only one that comes immediately to mind is 2022's Skinamarink

I'll rewatch movies a lot because I'm a huge nerd about movies and love to dissect them, but that movie gave me feels I don't wish to revisit again anytime soon.

After long enough (a few years), I've usually completely forgotten the movie, so I've accidentally re-watched some because I didn't realize I'd seen it before.

I've done that too, go to Imdb and oh, I've already watched this...
