10 Awesome Recent Movies You'll Never Watch Again

9. Killers Of The Flower Moon

Martin Scorsese's towering epic crime thriller Killers of the Flower Moon is one of the most acclaimed films of the past year, scoring 10 Oscar nominations while seeing Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone turn in some of their finest performances to date.

While Scorsese's films tend to be intensely rewatchable - who among us hasn't seen Goodfellas at least a few-dozen times? - Killers is a little different. 

Though there's plenty of unexpected gallows humour sewn throughout the film, it's also less flippant with its approach to violence, undeniably informed by its under-reported historical context, of the corrupt, white political elite wishing to steal the wealth which the Osage Nation sits on.

The result is unsurprisingly grim, but what makes Killers a truly tough prospect to sit through again is that 206-minute runtime. 

Even though that's a whopping three minutes shorter than Scorsese's previous film The Irishman, its somewhat more sober, serious-minded approach - not that The Irishman was a chuckle-fest - makes it one you'll be hard-pressed to revisit.

In the very least it's an incredibly memorable experience, and so you'll likely not feel a major "need" to watch it again.
