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.
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 Fifth Element
AZIZ
LIGHTS
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
-
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 👍.
I felt like I noticed something new every time I watched Arrival
Interesting. I’ve only seen it once … should watch again I guess!
I absolutely loved this film but it hit me hard, so far I haven’t been able to watch it again.
Shrek
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
I found “Enemy” extremely interesting and Villeneuve is my favorite director but I’m not sure I want to rewatch it.
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 😛
Interstellar.
And the incredible soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition
Great for an international flight.
Darren Aronofsky’s Pi. I’ve watched 3 times, each separated by a decent amount of time, and I think the third was my favourite.
Its short runtime (84 mins) is I suspect a major factor in this. Nowadays it’s almost like rewatching a favourite episode of a beloved Sci-Fi.
It definitely would make a good Black Mirror episode. My problem is the ending sequence is so brutal and off putting that I find it hard to rewatch for recommend to others.
It was neat to recognize the actor who played Hector Salamanca in it though as the professor. That guy has awesome range!
