It was a intense yet amazing film, and one of Reynold's best performances, if not the best. If being stuck in a coffin manages to bring out the best in you emotionally, then that's gotta say something.

Still, it was a claustrophobic roller-coaster, with one of the most tragic, yet refined, endings I've ever seen.

I'd watch it once every blue moon, but not enough to go through the experience constantly. I haven't seen it in 2 years, actually.

Along those lines I'd also have to say 127 Hours.... not an experience I want to have twice, but I thought the movie was good- not GREAT, but good.

lol I actually liked 127 Hours more, mostly because I'm a James Franco fan.

Heck, if he was in Buried, it'd probably be my favorite Franco movie.

I've seen it three times. Own it. Probably not gonna see it again unless I need to show it to someone.

The actual story and human characters in Pacific Rim aren't great, its about on par with the story you see in an average videogame.

American Psycho. ALthough I could watch Jared Leto get killed over and over again for reasons I cannot fully comprehend.
Another One is Apt Pupil about some wierd kid that discovers that his old neighbor is a Nazi War criminal. It's a trippy movie for a few reasons.

Spoiler:

Also SPartacus. I really enjoyed it but it is waaay too long and emotionally draining. By the time Spartacus dies You believe he's been on the run for years.

Blair Witch Project and other "Found Footage" movies I find have zero Re-watchability.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-28-2013, 09:39 PM

I'll agree with that. I saw Blair Witch in theaters and was like, "That was neat," and ever since I have no reason to watch it again. It did what it was trying to do (as well as gave lots of people migraines, which it was NOT trying to do), but the replay value is nil. Once you've seen it, it's just a bunch of annoying dweebs walking in circles and crying. I'd say to someone who hasn't seen it that it's worth a look, but that's all.

"Titanic" was ok, but it was also the most overrated movie of the modern age. I'm not going out of my way to avoid it (I mean, if nothing else, there's Kate Winslet's nude scene), but if I never saw it again it wouldn't bother me.

Good stuff, guys! Let's keep it rollin'! Opinions are free!

Iron Man 3. I'll just laugh at the Mandarin's threats.

just read the imdb parents guide that tells you what content is in it. now i feel sick

*shuriken* · 09-04-2013, 01:40 AM

^^I like sleepers. The only reason I could rewatch it is because of all of the great performances and the ending. Great great ending.

Stephen King's It. This explains everything:

*CyberCubed* · 09-05-2013, 01:47 PM

Elysium. Good sci-fi flick, have no desire to see it again.

World War Z....decent for a one-time viewing.

Pacific Rim, as I said above I'd only rewatch the monster fighting scenes on youtube if I get the urge.

Hell....almost all recent movies give me the feeling of, "Yeah this was OK," but not something I'd watch again.

In fact out of all the movies this year the only ones I plan to buy on blu-ray are Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Wolverine and maybe Iron Man 3.

Forgot about that, I'll probably pick that up too. Wasn't a huge fan of Man of Steel but it'll be good to watch on blu-ray.

I have the same with human jaws ripped apart. It's the most grotesquely scary thing I can imagine.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-05-2013, 08:38 PM

Everyone's got their switch. I can handle a lot but for some reason sh*t with throats and wrist/neck veins makes me wanna pass out sometimes. I never have, but I do get a little sweaty. I think because it's really hard for me to NOT imagine what something would feel like when I see it.

Dropped a boxcutter on my hand once that just missed my wrist by less than an inch and it bled insanely, and kept bleeding for a couple days. I couldn't get to a hospital so I had it bandaged with like a dozen "butterflies" and a sh*tload of gauze and medical tape. I had nightmares for three days about it, and all I saw when I closed my eyes was all the blood. I had to recompose for a second there just typing about it. I still have a hideous scar. Since that happened, seeing stuff like that in movies has been a lot more unpleasant.

At least it's usually over quick, and the filmmakers have sense not to dwell on it.

*AT-Man* · 09-07-2013, 08:28 AM

For now The Conjuring goes into this category, while I really liked it, I'm not in hurry to see it again, maybe only a few parts. So it has the same problem that every other horror movie, that ain't Evil Dead 2 or The Thing.

Water for elephants, i didnt like when Christoph Waltz beat the elephant

Bad story bro. Bad story. Bad.

Anyway, my problem with the movie was

An American Crime. Good...but very brutal. My wife screamed at Catherine Keener's character and most of the kids, too.
