Movies I liked, but will never watch again

The Road. That movie is just too depressing for me to watch another time.
Also 12 Years a Slave. An absolute masterpiece and an incredible and powerful experience, but I don't think I want to experience it again.

A Beautiful Mind

And mainly other films that just happen to be too disturbing to see again. Good but too disturbing.

Schindler's List probably... but I'd never say never.

War Horse

Broadcast News and maybe Working Girl

NOTHING.

as a general rule for me... movies that i won't re-watch from time-to-time cannot score higher than a 5/10 as 6/10's start Thumbs Up status and movies that have no re-watch appeal don't deserve a positive score. or look at it another way... movies that are average-ish score a 5/10 for me and while that's not a bad score, as they are usually decent enough for a viewing, in the end it's a negative score because anything average-ish is forgettable and forgettable has no re-watch value.

my rating system is very basic terms sums up movies as part of one of two categories...

-5/10 or less = Thumbs Down (won't re-watch(with rare exception))
-6/10 and higher = Thumbs Up (will re-watch. but it's mostly my 7's and higher that see the most re-watches but i still do re-watch my 6's here and there but they tend to go a bit longer in between re-watches than my 7's and higher do as i re-watch my 7's and higher at least once every 3 years-ish tops where as with a good portion of my 6's can go quite a bit past that)


with that said... so while i said 'nothing' for my answer in the topic i will say there are a fair amount of movies that i find enjoyable enough to see once but since i have no desire to re-watch them they are ultimately forgettable. hence, Thumbs Down as i can't give a movie a Thumbs Up if it's not a movie ill re-watch once in a while.

you mentioned 'Gran Torino' as having no re-watch value. but personally... i think that's got great re-watch value as it brings up emotions in me to a higher degree that are difficult to achieve in movies. it's amongst my Top 10 movies in general. i have seen that movie at least 4 times or so now.

Boyhood - 10/10, but not a rewatcher

Schindler's List - Best movie ever, in my opinion. This is why it's not on my list of "favorites" and why best and favorite are far different for me.

The Sweet Hereafter

Once Were Warriors

Dead Man Walking

Leaving Las Vegas

Black Swan

And several movies I saw at SXSW that never were picked up and distributed.

Why won't you watch them again?
