Some people want to be able to watch a movie "for the first time" all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn't ever had the same impact on repeat watches.

With a lot of other "plot twist" movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn't really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.

I think a good plot twist movie is worth watching twice, once to experince it blind and another to see the change in motivation for characters knowing the plot twist

Worst I've seen and needed to stop watching: ALL ABOUT STEVE

I like that movie. It kind of snuck up on me.

For good: 2001: A Space Odyssey. So I could be wowed again by it.

For bad: Dude, Where's My Car

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found 2001 to be confusing af.

~~There are so many candidates. It is genuinely impossible to pick just one. But anything I watched on the recommendation of someone who refers to a snack as "a bit naughty" is on the list for being dull. I would keep "the human centipede" and remove "love actually". I would remove the English patient, but I've only ever been able to watch the first 10 minutes before falling asleep so it isn't taking up much room.~~

Edit: nope, the Truman show. My English teacher made us watch it 20 times looking for religious symbolism as a film analysis project. I'd gladly forget it.

For good: The Usual Suspects

For bad: Swept Away (2002 directed by Guy Ritchie)

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Battlefield Earth.

[–] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Everything is illuminated. I'd love to watch it again.

[–] Cabeza2000@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Johnny Got His Gun (1971).

I could not finish this disturbing movie, and I would be happy to forget it.

[–] Azgrel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I remember watching it with my brother few years ago. Man, what a sad movie and even more sad ending.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably a anime or manga that has the most chapters and one that I enjoyed.

Cloud Atlas

Shit was way too intense for the age I saw it at

[–] missveeronica@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Battle Royale 2 or Waiting 2.

Both of them were sequels to movies I loved that nearly ruined the first one retroactively. Usually I just chock it up to bad movie, but those two were beyond painful to watch.
