What are some movies you own, but can't bring yourself to watch again?
I'm talkin about movies that you KNOW are classics, but feature scenes that make you so uncomfortable that you can't watch them again?
I'll name one:
Saving Private Ryan. I own it, but I can't bring myself to watch it. TOO PAINFUL.
Any others?

But that might not count since it was a VHS purchase.

Pulp Fiction, even though I think I sold it recently. I watched it way too many times in the 5-years following it, but don't know if I'll ever visit it again.

None. There are movies I have that I don't watch very often, like say, Schindler's List, but there isn't anything I have I'd never watch again.

American History X - So downright depressing from beginning to end; not a single uplifting or funny moment.
I love Schindler's List and watch it once a year. Its brutality is balanced with Spielberg's masterful directon and Liam Neeson's towering portrayal of Schindler.

I own a few already mentioned, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List get a viewing about once a year. I've only seenUnited 93 once since I Blind bought it but I'll probably end up watching again eventually.
A few not mentioned:
I blind bought Eraserhead cause I was in a crazy David Lynch kinda mood. It was so odd that I'm not sure I'll watch it again (unless of course I get in the "lynchian" spirit again)
Another Blind buy is Oldboy. I picked it up when I saw the 3 disc tin go OOP; I was so depressed after watching I'm not sure I'll spin it again any time soon.

Daredevil.
I'm huge fan of Daredevil (during Frank Miller's era) comic book and Elektra is one of my favorite comic book character. The movie have ruined the whole thing and they degraded Elektra's true power. I swore I will never watch it again.

If there's one film I own that I wll not ever watch again (and that I can't get rid of). It's Audition.
United 93 serves more as a documentary that I may pull out once in a blue moon, but I view it as a reference film.

Q:What are some movies you own, but can't bring yourself to watch again?
A:The ones I did not like which I am working to get rid of.
To me if a movie is good, no matter how sad or disturbing the content, I can always bring myself to watch it.
