That and it was boring to begin with.

The Shawshank Redemption

I am like that too with some "classic" films. I have seen The Godfather exactly once. Loved it, never care if I ever see it again.

Dead Man Walking- The scene of him being take to the death chamber is completely horrible to watch. I won't be revisiting Caligula anytime soon.

I love Tarantino films but man, Resevoir Dogs is his worst IMO. Listening to Tim Roth screaming and writhing on the ground ruined the film for me. I could watch the opening scene more than once...when Buschemi talks about why he doesn't tip, and they all argue with him... Tarantino at his finest, but Tim Roth ruins the rest of the film.

wow.. shocked to see that some of you are so sensitive.

I don't think its all sensitive. Some issues with some great films really reduce their rewatch-ability factor, sometimes to zero. Like someone already pointed out The Sixth Sense was pretty good on the first watch, but unless you suffer from daily amnesia there really is no reason to revisit it.

buried. the whole movie is just frustrating. once was enough.

requiem for a dream is on the list in the link, i've seen that movie a ton of times. makes me uncomfortable every time, but i can endure it, unlike some of the crazy violent stuff out there.

Yea, most of Shaymalan's (I know i ****** up that spelling) movies are like that. Clever the first time (at least the early films) but then the cat is out of the bag and the surprise is gone.
