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.
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.
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.
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.
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 tomorrow recognize the actor who played Hector Salamanca in it though as the professor. That guy has awesome range!

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!
I was wondering who’s be first to say Studio Ghibli films. They’re all super rewatchable except for Grave of the Fireflies. That one is just hard to watch but great.
Star trek VI is Undiscovered Country, but it is a good movie. Unless you mean Star Trek IV The Voyage Home which is personally my favorite Star Trek movie of them all.
Ramayanam

I'm baffled at how much they screwed it up. They really didn't need to change the formula much for the sequel to be a success. Just come up with a new portal or some excuse why the portal from movie 1 didn't close and do the same thing as the first movie.
Instead they did whatever they ended up doing in movie 2 and killed what could've been a fun blockbuster franchise.
Hell they could've adapted one of the the hundreds of fanfics online and it would've been a better starting point than whatever they ended up with.
I look at it a different way - it's a miracle the first one was good. If you imagine hearing the premise for the first time, it sounds like a trashy movie with no depth. Somehow it ends up being way more than that, and I'd suggest that's because of excellent direction. Without that it reverts back to trash.
Margin Call, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wallstreet, Nobody, Moneyball, The gentlemen, Layercake, Heat, The Running Man, Roadhouse.
BTW, if you've not heard of it, The Rewatchables is a great podcast where a group of guys talk about and critic movies they consider rewatchables. If you're interested, listen to episode 1. The list of shows would be a pretty good answer to your question but this list is off the top of my head.
Maybe not worth rewatching every night/weekend, but from time to time I absolutely love rewatching Legend of Hei.
I don't remember where, but I remember some people online kinda comparing it as something like a Chinese Studio Ghibli film, which in a way is partially true since it has a magical feel to it.
I got a DVD/Blueray set through Shout! Factory and do not regret the purchase, personally.
my personal favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service, as it's a film that doesn't have common Disney/Western tropes of trauma or horrible things happening. the main character has a loving family, she is strong willed, sticks to her convictions and is honest/empathetic/kind. there's action and conflict in a non violent way and the characters are sane. while I don't have kids, it's also appropriate for children and has lessons that are valuable for all ages.
the animation is beautiful to boot and the story is fun. I honestly think it's an example of a perfect film.
i've only seen reservoir dogs once but i feel like i need to rewatch it just to gain greater understanding of the whole situation. those are my favourite type of rewatch experiences.
For me - Hot Fuzz particularly. We periodically watch it with friends and play a drinking game (e.g. drink every time someone says "The Greater Good", every time you see a swan, every time the do an action thing that Nick Frost has earlier asked "did you ever...").
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Fifth Element
AZIZ
LIGHTS
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 👍.
The princess bride
As you wish.
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
Airplane! and Airplane II: The Sequel
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

I found "Enemy" extremely interesting and Villeneuve is my favorite director but I'm not sure I want to rewatch it.

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.
Groundhog Day
And Groundhog Day
And Groundhog Day
Memento The Prestige The Sixth Sense Fight Club Interstellar Pulp Fiction
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition
Great for an international flight.
Memento
All Nolan movies, except Tenet.
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 tomorrow recognize the actor who played Hector Salamanca in it though as the professor. That guy has awesome range!
I love Korean movies like
Snowpiercer! Great movie by the same director as Parasite
Good movie. Weird flow.
The Good, The Bad and the Weird
The Back to the Future trilogy is good for a re-view.

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.
Interstellar
Contact
Arrival as well
Oh heck yeah!
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!
5th Element.
The Emperor's New Groove
I was wondering who’s be first to say Studio Ghibli films. They’re all super rewatchable except for Grave of the Fireflies. That one is just hard to watch but great.
Star Wars (original trilogy), lord of the rings extended editions, Wrath of Khan, Blader Runner
~~These are just my hyperfixations ~~
Bladder Runner just REALLY wants to go to the toilet
It's an underrated film
Weekend At Bernie's.
Fight Club
Shhhh!!
If you liked the movie, I highly recommend the book. Course, I can’t really talk about it. ;)
Definitely Arrival
All David Lynch movies and Interstellar off the top of my head.
my biggest mistake was watching inland empire before i had learned to appreciate lynch through twin peaks
Inland Empire would be a hard film of his to start with for sure.
Yesssss
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.
Agree about the POTC movies. The first three are very entertaining!
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
Big Trouble in Little China
The Blade Runner films and the Spider Verse films
Goodfellas, every time
Alien
I can watch it on repeat and die happy
Definitely in the running for best movie ever made.
The Blues Brothers
Ghostbusters
Lord of the Rings
Hot Fuzz
I usually don't enjoy rewatching movies unless it's been a few years. With that said, I watch The Blue Brothers 2-3 per year minimum.
You're clearly on a mission from God
Sneakers (1992). Plot makes me laugh every time. Stellar performances by all actors.
Primer First time I watched it I had to restart the DVD immediately after it ended.
The Shawshank Redemption. I don't have cable any more, but when I did, I'd watch it any time i saw it on.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Some lesser popular options:
The Incredibles
Monsters, Inc.
Star Trek IV The Voyage Home and VI The undiscovered country
Star Trek Beyond
Top gun
Bloodsport
Jaws
Vertigo
Star trek VI is Undiscovered Country, but it is a good movie. Unless you mean Star Trek IV The Voyage Home which is personally my favorite Star Trek movie of them all.
Thanks, corrected, sorry I was too tired when I wrote that.
Lord of the rings fellowship, two towers, and return of the king extended editions.
Ramayanam Mahabharatam Unforgiven The magnificent seven The good, bad and the ugly There will be blood Nuvvu naaku nachaav Athadu Cloud Atlas Cast away Bahubali Deyyam ......
Pacific Rim
But ignore the sequel entirely. The drop in quality is impressive.

yeah it had a different director.
The lack of Guillermo del Toro was glaring.
Your Name
Kung FU Panda, funny, humor for all ages and a moral lesson that we all need to have really sunk in.
WALL-E
(from the top of my head)
Sharknado
Some of my favourite rewatchables are:
Margin Call, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wallstreet, Nobody, Moneyball, The gentlemen, Layercake, Heat, The Running Man, Roadhouse.
BTW, if you've not heard of it, The Rewatchables is a great podcast where a group of guys talk about and critic movies they consider rewatchables. If you're interested, listen to episode 1. The list of shows would be a pretty good answer to your question but this list is off the top of my head.
For the sake of those unfamiliar with the title's of those films, could you comma separate please?
Sorry about that. I'd intented it to be a list. Added commas now. Thanks
Dude I've never heard of any of these films
Annihilation
How come? I was unimpressed by this movie despite it gaining a cult following.
It was one of the cases where the movie was better than the book it was based on
Thats interesting. I should watch it again to gain a new perspective
Story was weird and good and the whole thing was visually spectacular
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Maybe not worth rewatching every night/weekend, but from time to time I absolutely love rewatching Legend of Hei.
I don't remember where, but I remember some people online kinda comparing it as something like a Chinese Studio Ghibli film, which in a way is partially true since it has a magical feel to it.
I got a DVD/Blueray set through Shout! Factory and do not regret the purchase, personally.
Obvious answer is obvious
Fight Club
You just broke the first two rules of Fight Club.
Withnail and I
Chinatown
L. A. Confidential
Grave of the fireflies.
Definitely watch it.
Definitely don’t rewatch it. Once is enough for a lifetime.
Saw it, thought it was a great movie, and like you will never watch it again
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom
Squids these days...
my personal favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service, as it's a film that doesn't have common Disney/Western tropes of trauma or horrible things happening. the main character has a loving family, she is strong willed, sticks to her convictions and is honest/empathetic/kind. there's action and conflict in a non violent way and the characters are sane. while I don't have kids, it's also appropriate for children and has lessons that are valuable for all ages.

Well, I never refuse watching Pitch Perfect and The Dictator (by Sasha Baron Cohen). I'm sorry to lower the standard 😅
Don't be sorry. Love what you love.
For comedies “Rat Race” and “White chicks” always make me laugh.
Any that you enjoy the first time.
Glad you put a link. For some reason my brain thought of the film "shark tale" and I was like "hol up.."
