Movies You Liked... But Never Want To See Again - Page 2

I was reading an article somewhere that got me thinking about this. Sorry if it's been brought up before. Anyways, was there ever a movie you saw, and you really, really liked it, but for one reason or another you don't think you'll ever watch it again?

The first one that came to mind for me is "Million Dollar Baby". I like Clint, I really like Hillary Swank, and boxing movies are usually pretty good. And it was a really, really good movie. But the ending... it didn't "ruin" it for me, as it was tragic, true-to-life and very powerful. It was completely believable and masterfully executed, and it stays with you long after the movie ends. But I don't think I could get through it again. I haven't seen the movie since the first time I watched it, even though I own it. I can't imagine myself watching the movie in its entirety without stopping right before the last fight, and that kind of makes me not want to bother with any of it. It was a brilliant movie, though, I really liked it, I just don't think I could get through it again (and the wife absolutely hates melancholy stuff - "Life is too short to watch sad and depressing stuff on purpose", she says - so even if I did watch it it would have to be while she was out, which is never).

What are some movies you really liked but for one reason or another (Sad, depressing, violent, just plain too long, etc.) don't think you would ever watch again? We always do "Movies You Like/Hate" but I'm not sure we've discussed the in-between as much. I'm curious what people here come up with.
