"I Mopped The Floor With Buckets Of Tears" – 27 Movies People Enjoyed But Simply Cannot Cope With Watching Again

"My teacher showed it to the class in 5th grade because I truly believe she's a sadist. Everyone cried."

We've all seen a movie that, although we've enjoyed, for one reason or another, we have zero intention of watching again.

Warner Bros. Pictures

Well, I recently wrote about people's "one time only" movies after asking the masses, and now everyone's rushing to share theirs too. Here's what people said were the films they couldn't bring themselves to rewatch.

1. The Pursuit of Happyness

Sony Pictures Releasing

"It’s so good, but watching them have to sleep in the bathroom of a subway station and how he turned it into a game was too much. Also when had to lock the door, holding back tears, when someone was trying to get in wrecked me. I know he turned his hustle into wealth, but I can’t watch that movie again."
