20 Movies I Never Need To See Again

Some of these movies were absolutely EXCELLENT, while others... not so much. With out further adieu and in no particular order, here they are:

1. Buried -
This movie was actually really good, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you have seen it however, and just in case some have not I will not go into the actual movie, then you understand why you don't EVER need to watch it again.


2. Splice -
Okay, honestly... this was some freaky ish, in many ways. Just one of those movies where the entire time you are sitting there you are thinking to yourself... Seriously? Who thought this was a good idea? Then it just gets weird!


3. The Fly -
This movie was just gross.


4. Twelve Monkeys -
Here's the thing, I have a problem with several plot devices used in some movies; one of my biggest pet peeves is when a movie ends where it started and I am left with the impression that I just wasted 2 hours of my life.


5. Lost In Translation -
I understand that this was a big movie for Johansson and the critics loved it and Sofia Coppola is just AMAZING and blah, blah, blah, the movie was boring and I could care less about these poor sad peoples empty lives.


6. Marie Antoinette -
Okay remember how I said some of these movies were really great and some of them were just not. This movie was just not! I was attempting to see what the hub-bub was about Sofia Coppola since we have already established how I felt about #5 on the list. I think it doesn't matter if you are an excellent director if you write crap. But anyway this is not a list of the worst movies ever, just the ones I never need to see again. Needless to say, Ms. Coppola did not redeem herself.


7. Radio Flyer -
This movie was absolutely gut wrenchingly wonderful but if you've seen it then again you understand why it's a movie that you really only need to see once, even though I have seen it many times. It never fails to hit me a little harder the older I get.


8. Seven Pounds -
It may be insensitive, maybe because I haven't experienced something like that I don't know but common sense would tell me that he totally over reacted. I thought it was a great movie for the most part, I just found the ending so utterly unbelievable that I could never watch it again.


9. Lawrence of Arabia -
The main reason is because it's too damn long.


10. Rosewood -
This movie just makes my pressure go up! I just can't!


11. Beloved -
I don't think I need to explain this one if you have seen it.


12. Sleepers -
Really great movie, any movie with a story where people are victim to abuse of any sort is always one of those movies where it makes it hard for me to watch again.


13. Into the Wild -
This is such a sad movie and being someone who works in the mental health field just really pulls on my heart strings in such a way that I just can't watch it again.


14. Precious -
This kind of movie is in line with the last two movies. Some story lines are just really difficult to watch once let alone again.


15. Mermaids -
Another movie that I have watched many times, but it's really hard to watch sometimes.


16. An American Tail -
This is absolutely a selfish and completely personal choice, but hey aren't they all! LOL! This is difficult for me to watch based on past experiences when I was growing up. It always had such a deep meaning to me. It's hard for me to watch with out crying.


17. Saw -
I went with saw but this spot is really for any horror movie. If it's done right then you don't need to watch it again if it is done wrong then well obviously why would you ever watch it again?


18. Alpha Dog -
I just feel like half of the things that occurred could have been avoided.


19. All Good Things -
I enjoy Mr. Gosling as much as the next person. This was some weird stuff though. It was an interesting story but I definitely don't need to see it again.


20. Terms of Endearment -
I went with this one because it's a classic, but I reserve this spot for all of those movies like A Walk To Remember, The Last Song, & other such movies where a major character in the movie dies at the end. Sad stuff, that is definitely difficult to watch again.
