Doesn't matter how often you see scenes like ride of the rohirrim, they remain just as epic as they were the first time.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

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.

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

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

Matrix. I've watched the trilogy god knows how many times, I still find it entertaining.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The first one is the best and one I enjoy rewatching.

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.

The Sound of Music

Blade Runner

Raiders of the Lost Ark

12 Angry Men

[–] Mountaineer@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The Back to the Future trilogy is good for a re-view.

[–] madeindjs@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

  • Last train to busan
  • Parasite

[–] SpooneyOdin@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interstellar

[–] easydnesto@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Naked Gun series. Leslie Nielsen was a legend. John Wick series Matrix series Airplane 1&2 Die Hard 1/2/3. I don’t count the 4 & 5th movies.

[–] RadDevon@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago

I pick up something new almost every time I watch Memento.

[–] SpooneyOdin@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

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!

Hmm, I rewatch almost anything, especially comedy movies like White Chicks and Shrek 1 and 2 lol.

I'd recommend the Guardians of The Galaxy trilogy or Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

Also LOTR movies, but those were already recommended.
