Hot fuzz. Because the first watch is enjoyable, but every subsequent rewatch makes you appreciate Edgar Wright more and more. He is just the most incredibly meticulous story teller with the most dense movies.
And then you gotta go watch the breakdowns and side by sides on YouTube to fully appreciate it on another watch. Hot fuzz is one of my favorites.
Definitely Hot Fuzz! Every single throw-away line early in the film is a callback later on. It’s incredible trying to notice them all!
Quite a few are references to/from their other films too.
SHUT IT!
Fascist!
Hag!
Memento.
Though, being real, I would say that it’s a movie that gets more interesting on second watch rather than being one out need to watch twice to get. I honestly haven’t ever run across a movie like that.
Primer also falls into this category.
That’s a fun one. You get to see the same movie twice but it’s different both times.
Agreed!
Everything Everywhere All At Once.
It’s just… really good.
I love how it makes just enough sense to hold the plot together. It was a lot of fun to watch.
Also, it’s the lead of the class of millennial parental apology fantasy films, one of my favorite genres ;)
Millennial parental apology fantasy… oh man I really love this.
Good movie but how does it require multiple viewings to understand?
Not OP, but to me it’s one where getting to the ending gives you the context/lense to reinterpret the earlier portions. Sorta like memento or fight club, where the ending recontextualizes the earlier scenes.
I had to pause that movie several times on my first watching. Not because it was bad or anything, it was amazing, but because there was so much stuff going on at once. It’s now one of my fave movies to recommend to people

I didn’t! Definitely gonna give this movie another watch!!
I can never not upvote Absurdist philosophy.
This is a masterpiece for sure!
Groundhog Day. It gets better with subsequent watches.
Watching Groundhog Day once is already like watching Groundhog Day five times
You can say that again
That’s why I rewatch it every year. You can just pick a theme and watch it with that lens for the year.
True!
not so much for understanding but, fight club is a different movie the second time around.
Just watched again last night.
Such a good movie.
The Big Lebowski. I’ve never seen another movie gain so much value over time and rewatches
What makes a man a man?
A pitiful sack of lies!
Okay, Dude, have it your way.
Snatch.
There’s like 15 main characters. Every scene is important but it is impossible for it all to be apparent on a first watch.
It’s really brilliant storytelling. Watching Lock To k & Two Smoking barrels, you realize that guy Ritchie might be a one trick pony. But that’s okay, it’s a great trick.
It wasn’t till my 4th or 5th viewing that I realized when we first meet Brad Pitts character he is likely taking a shit behind some truck.
I asked a guy if he’d ever seen Snatch and he said, “as much as I can”.
But yes, great movie… “What the fuck am I supposed to do with a caravan with no wheels?” (in unintelligible cockney)
The Prestige.
“Dude Where’s My Car?” It has a truly in depth and beautiful meaning to it that only becomes obvious on a third viewing.
And then?
No and then.
AAAAAND THEEEENNNNNNN?
I wholeheartedly agree. I wish more people appreciated it like it deserves!
The Big Lebowski. You pick up on stuff with each watch, and it just gets funnier when you do.
Perfect example. Almost all of the dude’s lines are things he heard a scene or two before.
There’s so many things foreshadowed in the movie that you’d only catch the second or third time around.

Basically every Lynch movie.
My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts’ character’s masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though 😬
deleted by creator
Bruh! I still don’t get it and I’m on my second watch. This made me feel better about it. I’ll give it more rewatches 😂
I haven’t even watched this one. Will do.

There really is something to make out of it? I generally assume Lynch films are good because they’re weird and surprising, but I haven’t seen many

I’ve seen it years ago, perhaps I was too young. If there is indeed a secret, then you’ve piqued my curiosity and I’m tempted to rewatch it, so don’t tell me !
deleted by creator
yea ! cheers
Shutter island watches completely differently on the second watch, same with Primer, The usual suspects, and Moon (2009).
Oh yes, Moon is fantastic ! very thick and tense atmosphere.
Akira. It’s weird and confusing. Goes from cyberpunk eye candy to bizarre metaphysical reality warp real quick.
Also body horror

Mind boggeling that it was made in the 60’s. Incredibly prescient.

Did you watch second part, 2010: The Year We Make Contact? Really like quality of effects.
deleted by creator
It explains why HAL got mad. To be honest I never watch original in full. Started watching and got bored. But watched 2010 in one go. I don’t know why. It was inspiration to watch it after I saw this film mentioned in one YT video.
I liked that it touch topic of war between US and USSR. And I really enjoyed quality of Practical Effects.
Predestination. I did understand the first time but there are so many little details that I had to watch a second time, now knowing the plot, to absorb everything.
Ps: Please, don’t ask what it is about. if someone explains you will lose a very cool crazy movie. just go warch it.
deleted by creator
loved the live feed lol Never heard of a short story but hope you liked the movie, I sure did.
deleted by creator
Thanks for letting me know about the short story. Predestination is one of my favorite movies and I didn’t know it was actually an adaptation! From Heinlein, no news
