Grave of the Fireflies by Studio Ghibli. I love Ghibli movies, and this one was very moving, but if you've seen it you know why I won't watch it again. Very powerful.
-
That was the single most impactful movie that I've ever seen in my life. It changed how I view the world, war, poverty, etc. But it is so heartbreakingly painful to watch, I'm not sure if I ever want to watch it again. Especially because my, at the time, 4 year old son was asleep in the room with me while I watched. After a certain point, I just paused the film, held him in my arms, and wept.
-
It's the best movie you'll watch once and never again.
-
-
Nope. No thanks.
-
Saw it twenty five years ago. Never again.

The Fountain, it's one of those movies that just absolutely blew me away and I had to have it but I'm just never quite in the emotional state to revisit yet I still recommend. It's breathtakingly beautiful and devastating. What Dreams May Come is a very close second, but I feel like after Robin Williams' death it's even more so, but the movie itself is just so beautifully done and heart wrenching.
-
I loved the fountain, too. It is so incredibly beautiful, and I'm glad to own it for the same reasons. I also can't imagine when I'll want to watch it again...
-
The most intense movie I’ve ever seen
-
The Fountain is one of my all time favorite movies.

The Whale.
Very happy to own it, watched it in 4k. Will keep it forever. It will be a very long time until I watch it again. It was amazing, but if you've watched it you know why.
-
Do you have a teenage daughter? I think that was one of many reasons that movie fucking killed me. I was sobbing on the plane watching it
-
-
“They Shall Never Grow Old” is one I can’t watch because I’ll just cry the entire time, but I still bought it.

Metalocalypse:The army of the doomstar.
I watched a ton of metalocalypse when I was younger, and was really annoyed when it got canceled on a cliff hanger. Cut to just a while ago, they finally made an end movie, which I watched as soon as it was available, yohohoho. I went ahead and bought the Blu-ray, just because I am so glad that they could get it financed and wanted to make sure that stuff like that would continue to be encouraged. I'm not gonna say it is the most intellectually stimulating plot, but it has played a part in shaping my darker humor.-
The thing I cans't nots the least is hate Dethklok but always love it.

I've got The Room on DVD that sits proudly on my shelf
-
I've got a solid one. Source code (2011), with Jake Gyllenhaal. And there's a really specific reason for it. Because I really do love that movie and definitely crack a smile when I see it in my libary. It's that I just end up watching Inception instead.
-
How often do you need to watch the same movies for 'dont really watch' to be a category?
-
I never watch a movie more than once unless it's just happens to be already playing, and even then it depends if it's actually worth watching a second time.
-
If it's easier. You can think of the scenario being when browsing you have this reaction. "Yup! That's a good ass movie" Skips to the next one everytime you see it.

SHOGUN.
I watched it once as a kid when I saw it at the video store and rented it because the idea of a single film that spanned 4 tapes was insane. I haven't watched it more than that one time. I don't even really remember the plot or anything; but the boxed set looks hella nice which is why when I saw it for $5 at Suncoast back in high school, I snatched it up. I also couldn't watch it even if I wanted to because it's VHS and I no longer have a VHS player and it's not like I can just go get one easily.
-
Shogun was a TV miniseries. No one was sitting in a theater for 12 hours to see it.
-
You should watch it again, it is excellent. Definitely a mini series though, not a movie. Basically an English sailor ends up shipwrecked in feudal Japan. I don't want to give anything else away, it's phenomenal. The book is absolutely one of my favorites as well.

in therms of a physical shelf, i have the back to the future trilogy i picked up for like 5€ in a yard sale. also the only movies i own on disk.
on my NAS, there are a lot of funky movies. i'm proud of all the shitty movies i watched just for fun, many of them will continue gathering dust on my hard drive.
maybe i'll watch mortal engines again.
-
I watched mortal engines. I remember absolutely nothing. maybe I'll watch too

This Tamil movie called Chittha that I watched recently. It's a heavy subject (child abduction, implied child SA, and more), and most of the people I know skipped the movie including my wife and my parents (The movie actually kind of bombed at the box office because of how many people skipped it), but it was a damn good movie. As a father of an 8yo myself, it was a sobering must watch for me that I probably would never watch again.
-
Dogma (1999). It's a silly movie with a rubber poop monster.
-
But I’m a fucking demon. Love Jason Lee in that…and Alan Rickman RIP

-
Empire of The Sun and Fiddler on The Roof. Two classics, one with young Christian Bale, stupidity of war when people stop being humans, and second about dark Europe history but also love, family, getting older.
Two absolute essentials.
-
Black Dynamite.
It's one of the funniest movies of all time, but I don't have a DVD player.
-
“I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community.”
“But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!”

This is one of the greatest lines in cinematic history, hands down.

Schindler's List - incredible movie, beautiful case, no way I want to rewatch it any time soon.
-
Schindler’s List.
Saw it one time. It’s a helluva film. I have no desire to watch it again. Same with Saving Private Ryan. Own it, seen it maybe twice, but both the films had enough impact that I don’t feel the need to watch them.

Snakes on a plane. I still haven't watched it but I had to get it just for XKCD...
