What's a movie you don't really watch but your damn proud to have on your shelf?

Grave of the Fireflies by Studio Ghibli. I love Ghibli movies, and this one was very moving, but if you've seen it you know why I won't watch it again. Very powerful.

That was the single most impactful movie that I've ever seen in my life. It changed how I view the world, war, poverty, etc. But it is so heartbreakingly painful to watch, I'm not sure if I ever want to watch it again. Especially because my, at the time, 4 year old son was asleep in the room with me while I watched. After a certain point, I just paused the film, held him in my arms, and wept.
