Donnie Darko
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
All three of those make much more sense the second time around.
In general, though, that’s a matter of personal preference. I will never turn down Young Frankenstein, The Blues Brothers, Blazing Saddles, Groundhog Day, or The Princess Bride.
You make a good distinction. In my opinion this question can be answered in two ways:
-
A movie that holds up being just as good on a rewatch.
-
Movies where you either pick up on clues/details on further rewatches once you know the full movie. Or that are just so dense/layered that you just can’t catch everyrhing the first time you watch it
-
The Lord of the Rings
Doesn’t matter how often you see scenes like ride of the rohirrim, they remain just as epic as they were the first time.
Memento The Prestige The Sixth Sense Fight Club Interstellar Pulp Fiction
Hot Fuzz
I watched that movie stoned off my ass and with the catchphrases the characters do, I thought I was in a time loop. 10/10
Also adding Shawn of the Dead/anything Edgar Wright
Anything Edgar Wright, or just the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy of Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and World’s End.
The Big Lebowski
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
You are doing it wrong if you haven’t seen this at least 10 times. You have to watch it once sober too, but just once, don’t panic.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition
Great for an international flight.
Everything Everywhere All at Once, Interstellar, Fight Club, Arrival, The Sixth Sense, Primer. I’m sure I could go on but all of those are great on a rewatch.
Matrix. I’ve watched the trilogy god knows how many times, I still find it entertaining.
The first one is the best and one I enjoy rewatching.
The Smiths fight scene in the park that happens in Reloaded is arguably one of the best fight sequences out of the OT.
The first movie was ground breaking though and holds up so well. I think if Equilibrium had a higher budget and visionaries like the Wachowskis working on it, it likely would be as highly regarded as the Matrix.
Agreed 👍.
Memento
All Nolan movies, except Tenet.
I love Korean movies like
- Last train to busan
- Parasite
- Oldboy
Snowpiercer! Great movie by the same director as Parasite
Good movie. Weird flow.
The Good, The Bad and the Weird
Dune
I’m a simple man, I see Dune mentioned I upvote.
I’ll watch any Denis Villeneuve movie on repeat tbh. The audio alone can carry my evening
He is certainly a great director, still not on the level of PTA or Tarantino for me but I hold his movies very high in many regards. Also, if you are referring to Dune soundtracks please check this video where Hans Zimmer explains how he came up with the music of Dune : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93A1ryc-WW0

Which one though? There’s the David Lynch version, the Sci Fi mini series, and the most recent adaptation. They all have their pros/cons, but I honestly prefer the Sci Fi mini series. It’s lower budget than the movies, but I think they did a great job at adapting the source material.
Honestly, all three. I love all of them for different reasons
Not that the new one isn’t nicely done, but David Lynch’s creativity will always stand out as the superior film. The new one borrows some of his stuff which is more than fine, but it just isn’t as willing to get weird as Lynch was.
Oh for sure. Nobody can get as weird as Lynch though 😛
The princess bride
As you wish.
The Fifth Element
AZIZ
LIGHTS
Interstellar
Primer or really any good time travel movie. For Primer, you pretty much have to re-watch out to make sense of what is going on. Highly recommended though!
