There are many movie buffs and film fans here. While there thousands of films I would not seek out to watch, as they do not interest me, and all the others I love. But there are also those I would not watch again after the first time. I have 2 on that list. Blue Velvet and Midnight Express. What are some others you all do not want to see again?

I liked Blue Velvet, and would watch it again.

My all time "let-me-outta-here" flick is Endless Love which was heavily marketed way back when as featuring, however briefly, Brooke Shields, a famous young model then, in her birthday suit. The movie was so dang awful I walked out before her birthday suit showed up.

Also, The Exorcist. Walked out of that one, too.

In recent years I take greater care in choosing movies to watch, and especially in theaters.

1: The Elephant Man.

I saw it in the early 80's with Ruthie and while well made and brilliantly acted it ripped my heart out. I was so visibly shaken that neither I nor Ruthie can ever bring ourselves to watch it again.

2: The English Patient.

If sitting through that didn't prove my love to Ruthie then nothing will.
 
Irreversible (2002).

The only movie I've ever seen I wish I could unwatch, and I watch a LOT of movies. If you've seen it you know what I mean.

I warned my son and nephew not to watch it, but they both did. They told me later they wished they had listened.

Schindler's List. This is a truly outstanding and profound movie but just could not stand to which it again. It really depressed me to see what depravity some people can inflict on their fellow man. Just thinking about it depresses me. However every one should see it at least once.

Dr. Zhivago.
One more panning of the Ruskie countryside with nothing but snow, snow, snow would put me in therapy.
And people who apparently die should stay dead!
Don't show up later in the endlessly long movie!
 
1. Back to the Future. I found the Michael J. Fox character dumb and unsympathetic.
2. J.D.'s Revenge-that was just plain B-A-A-D !
 
Clearly some movies that are highly rated are totally beyond me I watched part of Titanic and that thing was horrible, no way you could pay me to watch all of it
 
"You've Got Mail", but probably not for the reason you think.

I was out with MrsB and we were about halfway through the movie when I got a call that my good friend's daughter had committed suicide and somebody had to go and tell him. One of those responsibilities that you just can't delegate.

I've never been able to watch that movie again, so I've never seen the last half.

"Battlefield Earth".

Even Forest Whitaker and Barry Pepper couldn't save this stinker.

I don't know if it was all THAT bad. But I had read the book, and that helped the movie make a lot more sense. Admittedly it wasn't that good either though, and Travolta wasn't that good as Terl - not big enough or scary enough.

It is kinda like the mid-80's version of Dune. If you hadn't read the book the movie really didn't make that much sense. If you read the book it gave you enough background for the movie to be much better.

The exact same thing can be said of Battlefield Earth.

My "never watch again" would be Night of the Living Dead. That movie STUNK.

There's an insane Asian movie called "Deep Hypothermia" that I watched (most of) on HBO one night. Talk about time I'll never get back. I also walked out on "An American Werewolf in London". Actually, there's very few stalk and slash movies I like. They always have that stupid "Billy?" moment. You know, the girl stands in the threshold of the room where the light switch doesn't work and asks "Billy, is that you?", while something in there sounds like a Velociraptor with a sinus infection. Stoooopid.

That's another one I kind of enjoyed, mostly because so much of it was so intentionally campy and tongue-in-cheek.

I'm with you. Most of them remind me of the Gieco commercial...
"When you're in a horror film you make bad decisions..."
 
I couldn't think...then.........

'The Piano'. A chick flick about a mute woman who's mute on purpose and gets victimized so she has to have sex for every key on the piano. It's not that it's a chick flick. I often end up enjoying ones my wife picks out and I loved 'Terms of Endearment'. But at the mention of 'The Piano' I run the other way.

'Tarzan' with Bo Derek and Richard Harris. Richard Harris is one of my favorite actors but toward the end he had to take on some rotten parts.

'Catwoman' with Pfieiffer. ANYBODY could have written a better script.

'Caligula'. An all star cast of respected actors are duped into making what turns out to be mostly a porn film.

'Howard the Duck'. An incomprehensible mess.

'Batman and Robin' What a piece of trash.

'The Last Airbender' We are all fans of the series, but the movie was a failure.

I'm not including movies that have been sequeled to death. There's just too many of them.
