Saw it 15 years ago. Then cried for two hours straight. I recommend it to everyone, but I will not watch it again.

Requiem for a Dream.

Grave of the Fireflies, though I'll probably watch it again someday anyway since I'm apparently some sort masochist.

Oldboy.

One and done.

More recent, The Whale is a triumphant return for Brendan Frasier that was absolutely stunning. And I can never watch it again. It's so good because it was so gut wrenching. Everyone should see it - once.

But don't watch it while eating.

Everyone should watch and enjoy Life is Beautiful.

And then everyone should have a nice rest period to let their feelings recover before considering rewatching. Minimum a decade, no maximum.

Also, watch it with subtitles! The original audio really helps make the movie.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed! I'll usually choose an audio dub over the original audio, but for "Life is Beautiful", the original Italian is so incredibly expressive, it's worth the subtitles to me.

The lead actor does speak English, and if I recall correctly, he did record the English audio dub. But I feel like it still loses some of the impact of original Italian performance.

The documentary Dear Zachary: A Letter to a son About His Father.

Starts out as a home project someone was putting together after his friend died so that his unborn son would know his father and it just gets worse from there. Amazing movie, would not recommend unless you need a few good cries

Probably Dragonfly. It's not a world class movie or anything. Most of it was draggy as hell. But then that ending hits, and it's worth it.

But I don't think that a second watch would have the same wow factor at the end. Knowing it's coming, and still having to slog through the first half, I don't believe I'd enjoy it.

Edit: or gone with the wind. Great movie, but it's gotten harder to ignore the flaws in the story despite the movie itself being a masterpiece. I think if I watched it again now, knowing more about the era and the bullshit that got crammed into the book that showed up in the movie, I couldn't be immersed in it.

Interesting, this has been on my watchlist for a while. Given the tone of the films being listed, it sounds like I might need to plan a good time for it.
