AVClub.com gives a short review on 24 films truly too painful to watch twice and that you should avoid at all costs to see again. I have to agree with this list as the ones that I have seen. I really would not wish to ever see them again. Here is a short list of the film names recommended as too painful to see again. In fact, one of my friends got mad at me because I recommended one of the movies to her...I just didn't tell her how emotionally wrought she'd become if she saw it. (She does it to me all the time, so there was a touch of payback involved in it.)

 

Also, you might want to read some of the 100+ review comments at the end of the article. They have even more movies to add to the list. (And for the sick puppies who reviewed the list and said they didn't find any or much of these movies disturbing...I hope you are not any of my neighbors.)
