Films that you point blank refuse to watch (or watch again)

[LovingMyLiver]

I don't mean due to boredom I mean just utterly distressing:

NEVER. Kes. So a lonely little boy finds joy in an innocent bird who loves him back only for his cunt of a brother to kill it, right? I'll pass thanks.

Harry Brown. One of the most violent, depressingly upsetting films I've ever seen. Never again.

NEVER. A Serbian Film. No thanks. Googling the plot was horrific enough.

Dumbo. Never in my life have I wanted to jump through a screen to protect and adopt a cartoon character. Same with Fox & Hound.

They Shoot Horses Don't They - can't here that song without feeling 'ick

Same.
I also have a huge aversion to rom-coms.

The Lovely Bones. Sickening. Makes me feel depressed and sad thinking about it now, too.

Never again - Black Swan.

Never - anything resembling horror, particularly not of the psychological variety.

Insidious. It was bloody scary and put me off horror films for life.

Tyrannosaur is an amazing film. It's gritty and the acting is immense.

I can never watch AI again. Even though I know he's not a real boy. So sad.

Just watching Tar. I almost gave up at the beginning but it's really engaging. Not at all what I was expecting.

The Descent - can’t remember the plot, but the night after watching it I had a dreadful fever and remember being convinced I was ripping myself in half and the bed was drenched in blood and loads of images from the film kept invading my dreams. It’s the only time I can remember a fever making me hallucinate like that and I was at uni and had no one to call so it was petrifying!

Westworld series 1. I made it to the the end but it was horrendously violent. Absolutely no need - the maze on a scalp was the last straw.

I saw the trailer for Hereditary, that was enough!

I’m with you on that one, what the fuck is the point?! Horrible.

I read the book first. I thought the film was excellent. Loved the revenge.

Funny Games (an Austrian film) absolutely traumatised me.

I also found A Clockwork Orange really hard to watch, even though I had already read the book.

Wolf creek... no thanks

Same

Jacob's Ladder - the original with Tim Robbins haunted me for years and I never found anyone else who watched it. Not seen the remake either

Trainspotting - can't watch it again. The poor baby.

Another vote for Se7en. I was hoping for a happy ending at least then the police man ( Brad Pitt) receives his wife's head in a parcel.

Nil By Mouth.

Astonishing film. But never again.

Re-watches -

Up. Too sad.

Schindler’s List. Too harrowing.

Titanic. So boring.

Love Actually. So shite.

I actually really like a good horror film but not the weird torture porn ones that were big for a while. And shooting the dog just isn't a mindset I can get behind.

Ditto this for me. I was persuaded to watch Eden Lake and Wolf Creek, never again.

I can only watch the likes of The Green Mile, The Pianist, Gladiator, Schindler's List etc. once. Find them too emotionally draining which isn't the experience I want from a movie.

This has gone down in legend with DH and I @Botanica. I had to be more or less carried out of the cinema.

A Monster Calls is another one.

And Life Is Beautiful. A wonderful film but too too sad.

The Joker is one of the few films I had to turn off. Far too bleak for me.

I , Daniel Blake.

Watched it on a flight, stupidly, and people were wondering what the hell was wrong. Sobbed and choked like a baby.

Life Is Beautiful; watched the first half and couldn't stomach the inevitable ending.

Saw the title immediately thought of The Human Centipede wanted to bleach my eyeballs after watching that.

I googled a Serbian Film after another thread like this WTAF?! why would someone make a film like that?

I stay away from any violent/torture/rape/horror type film in my mind they aren’t entertainment.

Eraserhead.

There is just something about that film that I can't cope with. It's the specific type of dislocated insanity, I think.
