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

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
Matrix. I've watched the trilogy god knows how many times, I still find it entertaining.
The princess bride
As you wish.
Shrek
Interstellar.
And the incredible soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
Memento The Prestige The Sixth Sense Fight Club Interstellar Pulp Fiction
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
The Back to the Future trilogy is good for a re-view.
Interstellar
The Naked Gun series. Leslie Nielsen was a legend. John Wick series Matrix series Airplane 1&2 Die Hard 1/2/3. I donβt count the 4 & 5th movies.
I pick up something new almost every time I watch Memento.
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!
The Emperor's New Groove
5th Element.
Star Wars (original trilogy), lord of the rings extended editions, Wrath of Khan, Blader Runner
~~These are just my hyperfixations ~~
Definitely Arrival
Weekend At Bernie's.

Movie: hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, RRR, most of Ghibli studios, drunken Master.
Shows: house, Dirk gently's holistic detective agency, the Blackadder
Hackers
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.
