What movie(s) did you watch 10+ times and offered something new with each view?

It's good, but hits a little close to home these days.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I watched idiocracy at home a year or 2 after it came out, and I hated it because i felt like it beat you over the head with the message, like yeah I get it, I don't need to watch an hour more of this!
..then I rewatched it after our handling of covid and January 6 insurrection.. Thought to myself "yep... Thats how the future plays out.."
If you watched it now for the first time? In 2025? Fucking hell. I hate this timeline.

I'm not sure as I haven't watched TTSS yet. It's on my list now but sounds like it is in the same ballpark.
The Lives of Others indeed, it's a movie about divided Germany with a dark atmosphere, which does deserve multiple viewings. Great stuff.
Nice I will check it out.

Buffalo 66, Bringing Out the Dead, Rear Window…
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The Netflix TV show Dark. Holy hell. I missed SO much the first time. If you haven't seen this show do yourself a favor and watch it, the amount of detail is crazy, and the casting is top notch. Watch it in German with English subtitles though, the English dubbing is really, really horrendous.

Sounds like it aged like wine.
It came out when I was busy getting started in life after school. So a lot of what came out in that period didn't feel "genuine" at the time.

"Marathon Man."
I think it was my fifth viewing that I realized a character from the beginning shows up briefly in the middle.
Seen this once, but I think there is no argument to be made about watching it again.

Forrest Gump
Great stuff, on the list to rewatch!
-
"Family Plot" gets little love from the critics, which is a shame.
Funny, scary, and full of twists.
Never heard about it before, seems right up my alley.

I like to exploit content (movies, music, books) instead of it exploiting me. So many copycats throughout the years!
Good for you that you were able to retire at such a young age. You think that's a good reason not to enjoy stuff you once enjoyed before? Have you ever eaten the same meal twice because it was that good?

Everyone has time for the things they prioritize. And not much more.

Victoria (2015) does that for me. Maybe it's because the whole movie is recorded in a single take, but it holds my attention in a way most others don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_(2015_film)
By the end of the film I'm always so shocked by how things have developed over the last few hours. Seeing the light change into morning is very sobering

The Grand Budapest Hotel.
If we're counting musicals then Hadestown. The lyrics have so many moments of for-shadowing and calling back, it's beautiful. There was a pro-shot filmed earlier this year, hopefully they'll release it soon

Snatch. Always picked up something new every watch.

I watched a bit of Dark when it came out, will look into its status as I'm not inclined to watch (NF) shows that slowly die. Not sure if that's what happened here.
What is interesting tho, is that I have Paper Moon (1973) scheduled to watch tomorrow night. Never seen it before.

It's my favorite movie. So well done. Every set is a work of art, with so many tiny details added. Pause at any point when it's panning through Buffalo Bill's basement, and you can see a dozen different things that tell you about him.
All of the scenes lead into each other perfectly. Hannibal tells her Bill is probably on the hunt for his next victim, then it cuts to Catherine Martin driving home, singing to the radio and loving her life.
The scenes where people are "studying" each other has the actors looking directly into the camera, so you feel the discomfort of being stared at.
Clarice spends most of the movie being towered over or being fixated on my intimidating men. You can really see it impacting her as she tries not to show it.
I have to make myself shut up when I watch it with someone new, because I have something to say about every frame of the movie. 10/10

One can only hope we end up with a president like Camacho. Dudes an idiot, but at least he put in the effort to help his constituents by finding the smartest dude he could and have him solve their problems.

Growing up in a small town, movie selections were slim, so I watched a lot of movies back them multiple times. I don't get to watch movies as often as I'd like and when I do I usually choose gaming over movies. So when I do watch something I want it to be new. However there is at least 10 movies I will rewatch at least once every couple of years.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Other than what everyone else has said (great taste in film, lemmings) I'll throw out...
In the Mouth of Madness. People tend to rank The Thing as his best movie, but the other two parts of the "Apocalypse Trilogy" are also excellent. Prince of Darkness has plenty to reccomend it, but I actually have watched IMM at least 10 times. The practical effects hold up well, and I feel like I catch new little details or acting quirks on each watch. Sam Neill and Julie Carmen are both really on their game and amazingly bring a lot of both subtlety and camp to the roles. The soundtrack is really banging too, if you're a fan of Carpenter's synth-rock.
And for something completely different, but still an "at least 10 views" favorite: Rian Johnson's Brick. You'll probably need at least 2 viewings just to catch all the dialogue, which is very fast and uses a weird made up slang. The main victim makes a phone call in the first act that basically reveals everything if you understand what she's saying, but it takes the whole movie for that to happen. It's just a fun, good mystery story too. Great sense of style, great (slightly off kilter) acting choices all around. Its one of those movies that's a little like poetry or a great album, just fun to watch and enjoy for itself.
