    Such a heartbreaking film and the ending just left me so depressed that I can no longer watch it again

    But overall it is an amazing film with one hell of a performance by Hilary swank.

    op! By hard to watch do you mean excessively violent or emotionally draining , boring or just a hard to understand contrived plot?

    Up! I watched it at the cinema and it was so sad it ripped me apart. Not sitting through that again.

    Artificial Intelligence - omg, found it heart-wrenching and it really disturbed me, only managed to sit through it once, have got it as a DVD but can never imagine watching it again - harrowing!

    Elephant Man, especially the scenne where he breaks down at Athony Hopkins home when he first meets his wife.

    Primer - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/

    I challenge anyone to watch it and understand what's going on the first time through. I've reread the wiki page many times and even studied a diagram explaining it and I still have doubts.

    Excellent film though.

    I agree too.

    Also, I don't think I'd watch 127 Hours again.

    I love my daughter unconditionally but will never, ever forgive her for making me sit through that film!

    Martyrs
    Requiem for a Dream
    Come and See

    Hard to watch but also good to watch. All three are terrific.

    At my uni halls some 15 years ago some of us used to watch it repeatedly and scream "UNCLE ****IN' BULLY" at each other as a greeting. God knows why now. :eek:;)
    Martyrs

    Hard to watch but also good to watch. All three are terrific.

    It's highly debatable if Martyrs is a good film. It has some interesting ideas for sure, but it could be argued some of it is pure 'torture porn' with no more artistic value than the Saw/Hostel sequels.
