So I used the phrase "once and done" to describe my viewing of The Grey. "Once and done" is actually meant in a complimentary way, describing a film that affected me in a such way - usually being something melancholy - that I would not have much desire to watch again. The impression was already left burned into my brain.
Here are some movies I would consider "once and done" (and I may add more titles later):
Saving Private Ryan - so powerful, yet highly depressing.
Monster - a very sympathetic and humanizing look at the serial killer Aileen Wuornos.
Night and Fog - a 1955 french film looking at the horror of the concentration camps in Poland.
Schindler's List - again dealing with WWII concentration camps...
Leaving Las Vegas - ok, so you will never want to drink or be a prostitute after seeing this one...
My brother will be writing about this topic as well.
