Amazing Movies I Never Need to See a Second Time

There are some really amazing, powerful movies that you really never need to see more than once. We all know the classics you can watch over and over. Most are action or comedy. They aren’t universally accepted generally but they do all have a huge following.

This isn’t that. I’m talking about amazing movies that suck you in, kick the emotions up, and really impact you. Sometimes for days after viewing it. Rarely even for years.

I made a post to Facebook setting out the criteria as clearly as I could and got a few really good suggestions and there was a definite consensus on one movie. There were of course a few suggestions that did not hit the criteria (folks just misunderstood the post)

I’m going to just list the movies here to hang on to it in no particular order other than the big one. The most mentioned was Requiem for a Dream. You can’t deny it is powerful and that you really don’t want to see it again. I’m also only listing movies I’ve seen. As I see some of the suggestions I am lacking, I’ll add those as well if I agree.

• Requiem for a Dream

• The Master

• Nightcrawler

• What Dreams May Come

• Prisoners (2013)

• Schindler’s List

• The Passion of the Christ

• Elephant Man
