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.

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

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.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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.

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

[–] easydnesto@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] Lolors17@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Interstellar

[–] SpooneyOdin@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year 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!

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

5th Element.

Weekend At Bernie's.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
