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.

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.

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.

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.

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
