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.
9I 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...
2The Fountain is one of my all time favorite movies.
2The most intense movie I’ve ever seen

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.
6“They Shall Never Grow Old” is one I can’t watch because I’ll just cry the entire time, but I still bought it.
6Grave 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.
5That 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.
2It's the best movie you'll watch once and never again.

Dogma (1999). It's a silly movie with a rubber poop monster.
4But I’m a fucking demon. Love Jason Lee in that…and Alan Rickman RIP

Black Dynamite.
It's one of the funniest movies of all time, but I don't have a DVD player.
3HA! I THREW THAT BEFORE I LEFT THE MOON!
3“I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community.”
“But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!”
2This is one of the greatest lines in cinematic history, hands down.

Requiem for a dream
Pi
Memento
3The animated LotR
2The 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.
2Do 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

Schindler's List - incredible movie, beautiful case, no way I want to rewatch it any time soon.
1Schindler’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.
1I've got The Room on DVD that sits proudly on my shelf
1Metalocalypse: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.1How often do you need to watch the same movies for 'dont really watch' to be a category?
0If 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.
1I 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.

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