Which begs the question: have any of you watched it more than once?

One of the few movies that I had to acknowledge was "good," but never once felt like watching again.

I've seen it a dozen times or so. I mean it's tough at the end, but I really don't get the "I can only watch it once it's just too much"


I mean, come on, really? it's a movie

Well, it's not like I've tried to watch it again and failed. Just never been inclined.

I've seen it 3 times, but I haven't used my diamond-tipped Makita tile cutter since 2001.

I've seen it twice and I have it on DVD. It's always disturbing to watch but I don't think there's a limit on how many times a human being can take the craziness of the film.

Never seen it, what am I in for? I may not be able to watch it tonight, but I'd like to add it to my queue.

It's on again, so I guess there's still time for A2A.

I didn't think Sundance showed stuff like that, but I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the shower scene from Room in Rome the other night.

Those kids are going to be channel surfing and find that movie one day

Hell, the oldest one may have already

great movie.

but I'm with you on the never want to see it again train.

its just too depressing.

I feel like if they showed this to 6th graders in school nobody would ever do drugs. Ever.

Not me. It changed my outlook on life, addictions, and companionship.

I told one of my friends they should show RFAD to 6th graders, instead of them going through the D.A.R.E program.

Seems like I watch it once every 3 years or so. Or if its on Sundance, IFC or something and I'm flipping channels, I'll leave it on there.
