Any movies that you found to be great but for one reason or another you don't feel you need to watch them again? List movies and number of times you seen and reason(s) if you like.
The Sixth Sense - 1 viewing - Knowing the plot kills further viewings
The Usual Suspects - 2.5 viewings - Knowing the plot as above. Though this one held better in my second viewing due to Spacey's awesome performance. Couldn't finish the film in my 3rd attempt years and years later
Zodiac
Under the Skin
Silence (incredibly bleak and really long, but a masterful story)
Killing of a Sacred Deer
Moonlight (overhyped, with a bad 3rd act)
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
2001: A Space Odyssey
First Man (like Jackie really dry film)
Watchmen (2 viewings and each got worse)
We need to talk about Kevin
Jackie (decent film, but very morose and dry)
The Matrix Revolutions (some good moments, but the Zion mech fight is way overlong)
Dark City (A lot going on, but I don’t remember much of the plot. Will definitely return to it at some point)
Deadpool (I love side characters, but Wades jokes get old.)
The Wolverine (Dry, probably only seen twice)
Ben Hur (Masterful tension between Judah and Mesalla, but it’s really long and overly propagandist at times)
Batman vs. Superman (Dawn of Justice)- probably only seen twice all the way through. Everyone knows why it’s bad and the extended version doesn’t help

Hm.. I greatly disagree. All of the Matrix films are great to watch again from time to time because the story is so rich and thought-provoking.
I was going to call you out on that! That movie belongs no where NEAR this thread!
Same with Moonlight. It sucked. Period.
I agree with the first 3, never seen the other two. The last time I rewatched Passion of the Christ I just felt like I was watching a weird mix of fantasy and torture porn. lol. But it is beautifully filmed and well done like Mel Gibson does well.
I would mention some of the recent Oscar films like Bohemian Rhapsody, Roma, and A Star is Born. They were good but I don't have any desire to ever see them again.
