18 Films You’ll Never Watch Again
5. Sophie’s Choice
The film itself has become a byword for onscreen misery, but that’s not to say you shouldn’t give the film a go-once. Meryl Streep’s performance is typically brilliant-she allegedly only shot the “choice” scene with one outcome, and refused to perform the other-and the tale of her struggling with what she did during the second world war are harrowing and devastating in equal measure. It might be almost synonymous with sadness, but it’s something you have to see to appreciate fully.
