Movies you just can't watch

[Drasticq]

Titanic - way too sad

Hostel and the Saw series - too vicious!

Open Water

I watched the first Saw; and, will NOT watch another.

 

[L&Lfan]

Too many to name and most films made after 1985 except for Disney/Pixar animation.

Open Water

Oh my gosh...... worst movie ever! I was cheering for the sharks at the end (just kidding). So slow and painful to watch. People walked out - my best friend and I still can’t believe we stayed.

I watched it last summer and seriously I will never watch it again. And having been to Jamaica I have a real problem now listening to island/beach raggae music. I do tell people to watch it because it was weirdly that good and realistic!!!

I agree

It will be a cold day in your afterlife of choice before I watch Dead Man's Shoes again.

Not because it's bad, on the contrary, it's very good, it's just insanely sad and hard to watch. I don't sign up to watch actors I like in movies like that without preparation

I watched Sophie’s Choice when I was up with insomnia one night while pregnant with my second child. It traumatized me, haunts me to this day. The scene where the Nazi takes the little girl and she’s holding her arms out and crying for her mother.... I will never watch it again.

I love horror, like real tense creeping horror. NOT Saw or Hostel or splatter stuff. You know, shock for shock's sake. "I can't write a tense script so instead I'm just going the gore route" Can't do it. Watched both once. Never ever again. Also in that realm Cabin Fever. All my nope for that one. Not to be confused with Cabin in the Woods which is excellent!

On the opposite end of the spectrum as a child my mother liked dragging me to the type of movies that took place in Victorian or earlier times when women were all prim. Usually someone was rich and had staff, affairs, scandal, sometimes tragedy. The Secret Garden, Girl With the Pearl Earring, yadda yadda yadda... it seems like a genre. Can't do it, I hated them then. Hated them now.

Also Have to add in The Virgin Suicides, North Country, and Boys Don't Cry.

Dear Zachary. Once was enough.

 

[Drasticq]

There are some other tear jerkers, like The Boy in the Striped Pajamams.

Now, I can stomach a lot - one of my favourite ever films is Silence of the Lambs. But my favourite ever film is one I shall never watch again, as it is just so emotionally charged - Requiem for a Dream. AMAZING film, INCREDIBLY adult.

 

[Meriweather]

Saw...only got through a few minutes of it.
Watched Open Water......just too boring for me.

All the stupid comedies......Dodgeball, South Park, Napolean Dynamite and the like
sappy romances....I am okay with romantic comedy in small doses

 

[PigletsPal2]

Any horror film (I don't want to be scared out of my wits), any action film with a lot of blood and gore (I don't want to throw up every other scene), any film with explicit sex scenes (watching is not my thing), or any film with an overabundance of foul language, especially the "F" word (I'm an editor; words are my life and there are many alternatives to profanity). In other words, as my spouse puts it, I like dancing mice!

A Christmas Story.
A box office bomb that has since become a cult classic. I'm just not in THAT cult I guess.

Schindler’s List. It’s an amazing film, but difficult to watch.

I feel the same way about the show Dear Evan Hansen. I’ve see it twice and don’t want to see it again. I didn’t even want to go the second time, but I felt like I had to. My younger daughter wanted to go and I feel it is such an important show for teens to see. It’s very difficult to watch, especially towards the end.

I cannot stand that movie. My in-laws force me to watch it every Christmas and it just gives me a headache.

 

[luvsJack]

Deep Water Horizon. Haven’t seen it and won’t.

I did watch 13 Hours and won’t again. Just can’t stomach it regardless of whether it’s factual or not.

My Girl...…..I can't stand when the little boy dies!
The girl running in to the funeral saying "he needs his glasses, he can't see without his glasses"

I can’t stand this movie & just can’t understand the appeal AT ALL!
