For me it's the SA movie Kimberley Jim (1963).
Not a bad movie - the music is nice - but I had to screen this thing 14 times in 7 days in 1998. :buggedout:
Yes, twice a day for seven days on a 35mm print. :buggedout:
One viewing was enough: after the third screening, I would just check if the projection ratio was OK, if the picture was in focus and if the sound was OK. I haven't watched it since. :buggedout:
Here you go: don't say I didn't warn you. :buggedout:

If I see the GREEN BERETS (1968) even one more time I will commit hari kari.
John Wayne- what a racist, gung ho a***ole.
Star Wars series.
While the original Trilogy remain inspiring to me and are my favorite movies of all time; currently the level of apathy is unreal. The damage Disney has done (in terms of the mythology, legacy characters, erasing stories, crappy theme park/hotel and Disney forcing it's corporate stamp all over it) at this current time I can't watch or read anything around the franchise.
The silence Kathleen Kennedy received at Star Wars Celebration says it all.

how come you've watched it so many times?
not actually 'watching' a film, but I managed a local charity shop for a couple of years and for some reason the most donated DVD by a mile was KILL BILL. I quickly got sick of the sight of it. at any one point there would be at least 2 or 3 copies on the shelf in the DVD section. and then another one would appear... it became a running joke between me and the other manager

I watched it once. One time too many.
I am completely burnt out on the original Halloween (1978). I've seen it so many times that I never need to watch it ever again.
If I ever see another Jason movie, I'll start murdering people. That franchise got old after #3. Actually, I didn't like any of them from day one.
I was sick of THE WIZARD OF OZ for a long time. Then, I came to enjoy the parts I disliked as a kid, and came to realize that that movie was as good as Hollywood would ever get. That does not mean the best movie ever. But it does mean that Hollywood was great; with limits.
About the reference to Star Wars, I read the comments to the video, and someone referred to the logo and how people reacted to it.
I remember that after watching the first of the sequel trilogy in a movie house. Most viewers were so young they likely were not yet born when the first movie came out, and yet they hollered when the scroll text appeared. (It didn't happen with the 1970s film because we had no idea what to expect.)
After that, things went downhill, with the most memorable involving the audience laughing when Driver removed his helmet.
After the feature, I observed them as they walked out of the theater, and the response was exactly like the audience response to Kennedy in the video.
That aside, I managed to watch the first movie from the '70s four times, once in the theater, another on tape, a third on DVD, and a fourth on BluRay. I remember yawning for the third DVD version, and for the high-def one gave up after around 20 minutes.
Not that familiarity breeds contempt, though, because for some strange reason I still enjoy watching the Alien franchise, i.e., the first two films, and Carpenter's Thing.

oh.... I have a huge list of films I watched one time and don't want to see ever again :teddyr:
Dogs in Space.
And more heartbreakingly, A River Runs Through It.
either of the smokey and the bandit movies, any/all of the young guns or lonesome dove movies, tombstone and overboard! i had to watch those incessantly in bars i worked in, and didn't like them to begin with.
