I think Usual Suspects is great to watch twice. Once with no clue of what's going on. And then a second time knowing who Keyser Soze is

Interesting. Movies like Memento and The Usual Suspects are still great for me after multiple viewings. Granted, the experience is different after you know the "twist", but I have probably watched each of those movies more than five times and enjoyed them a lot each time. A little less so with the Sixth Sense, but I have probably watched it three times and always enjoyed it.

The ones I don't like to watch again are the ones that are well made and emotionally wrenching like Schindler's List, Requiem for a Dream, Saving Private Ryan, etc. I'm usually glad to have seen them, and happy to never watch them again.

Angel Heart is one with a twist that is also really disturbing. I'm sure when I rented the VCR from Blockbuster I ran it to the sex scene and watched that over again, but I never watched the whole movie again.

#1 by a mile is Blue Velvet. #2 is Reqium.

I could watch No Country for Old Men every week. Very rewatchable for me.

The Green Mile - didn't like the ending
The Mist - ditto, but interesting special effects
Mystic River - verrry depressing
Magnolia - maybe again with someone who hasn't
seen it - just for the ending :)
Cloverfield - Had a headache the first time
Titanic - maybe for the special effects
Tigerland
Letters Home From Vietnam - got to me

I don't think there's such a thing, but I can tell you a few great films you don't want to watch again.

Schindler's List
Grave of the Fireflies
Requiem for a Dream

Any movie I consider great is worth a rewatch including The Boy in Striped Pajamas, Schindlers List and especially Memento. I've seen Memento at least 10 times and almost always find something I hadn't caught onto before.

For some reason the Jason Bourne movies for me are completely unwatchable after first viewing.

Sansho the Bailiff. Watching the movie the first time is like getting a gut punch to the stomach. It just wouldn't pack the same kind of power in subsequent viewings.
