Great Films You Can Only Watch Once

There are two films that I am glad that I watched once but could never watch again:

Schindler's List
The Exorcist

The first because it was very harrowing first time and I think it would be diluted on a second viewing.

The second because I was frightened out of my skin when I watched it at 12 but I would probably find it hilariously bad now.

Any films you feel the same about?

There are loads of films I could never watch again because they bored me, Cupid. Are there any films that you loved but could never watch a second time?

Also . . .

Battleship Potemkin - I know it's been voted the best film of all time on several occasions (and features in the 'all-time top ten' of many other lists) but I found it hard work to watch and once was enough for me.

Smowball

A Japanese horror film called The Grudge because it scared the life out of me!

cupid, you have to watch them in the daytime, followed by Tom and Jerry

I can understand falling asleep in front of The Hobbit. I thought Titanic was a dreadful film but I know someone who saw in fifteen times within a couple of months of its release.
