Name movies that are brilliant but you will NEVER watch again

Not to nit pick - but if I'm not mistaken he doesn't actually speak in Modern Times.
It was his first film to have sound, and some dialogue, but the lines are from other characters - Chaplin didn't speak in any of his movies until 'The Great Dictator' (which was just after 'modern times').

And in an effort to add to the thread topic.....
Requiem is at the top of my "great movie I'll never see again" list.
I still can't wrap my head around the motivations behind making that film (but that's clearly a subjective thing) - but I cannot deny that it is incredibly well made.


EDITED TO ADD:
Just checked it out - and you were kind of right...Modern Times was the first film where Chaplin's voice was heard,
in the song at the end that he performed. But he didn't have any dialogue in the film.

Yeah, the studio FORCED Chaplin to speak... to spite them he refused to speak a word and the song was jibberish. Plus all speaking roles were politically driven being that they all come from electronics and machines.

Gotta love the rebels!

Of course the studio, being bested, advertised that "Chaplin speaks"!

I'll go with "American Beauty". I loved the film but the ending is too real. "Secret Lies" nor "The Painted Veil" again. All extremely good and thought provoking movies but once did it for me.

Gotta love the rebels!

Then he follows it up with 'Great Dictator'... just awesome.

Didn't know the backstory on the studio forcing his hand (or his voice I should say).
Glad to see I'm not the only Chaplin fan on these boards.

Okay - seriously... ending the threadjack now.
Otherwise I'll have to ban myself.
