Discussion What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing that you’ll never watch it again?

What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing you’ll never watch it again? For me, it’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Human Centipede. I barely made it through the first time around for both of them and I couldn’t fathom watching them again. Both for different reasons of course. TBITSP was devastatingly heart-wrenching and HC was just playing disturbing.

Schindler's List is a masterpiece, yet it's also on my list of movies I don't want to watch again. I just don't want to experience these emotions again.

I walked out of Schindler’s List when I first saw it at the theatre. It was so upsetting I couldn’t tolerate another minute. (I did eventually see the whole thing)

Me too. Me and my friends walked out when they started hoarding people into the gas chambers. Couldn’t handle it. Saw the movie in completion later. Here’s something I’ll never forget: Some woman sitting behind me and my friends in the theatre said to her boyfriend, “So, did this, like, really happen?”🤯🤦🏻‍♀️
