Memento. Upon the 10th re-watch I actually managed to follow the story.

Jokes aside, I love that movie. It just takes a lot of effort to actually learn wtf is happening.

[volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz]

It's a show, not a movie, but I have been watching Fleabag at least 20 times on repeat within half a year (November to April). I do a lot of housework and it often plays in the background while I cook or clean. I know every line. I know every shot and smile and can basically watch it in my head.

When I was 11, I was watching the VHS tape with Pirates of the Caribbean daily for about 1.5 months.

Movies and series are just one of my favorite things in the world. I do want to make time for that. Are there more important and wholesome things to do? Absolutely. But I also feel like I should be allowed to do something not meaningful or important every now and then. I've been thinking about it a lot throughout my life, whether, on my deathbed, I will regret having watched so much stuff, thinking I should have spent that time differently. I don't think I will. Because I love stories. I think it is one (possible) meaning of life, to listen to as many stories as you can. I listen to people's stories, to things that are actually happening, and TV and movies are another medium that also tells stories. I understand that a lot of people prefer books, maybe that's objectively the better, healthier choice, but I am fine with choosing the former. I once fancied a career in that field, but after a year I realized that it killed any joy I got out of it, and fucked up my health (99.9% of people are smokers). But at the end of the day, thinking of something from scratch and conveying this idea of events to someone else is fantastic. It is amazing. I feel like I have lived a thousand lives, and I want to live another thousand.

And I reevaluate that question and my answer to it often, on a regular basis. So far, I am very d'accord with it.

Also, just to make it clear, of course I do other stuff. I go outside with my kid every day, we play, we are being creative, I meet a lot of people and always have. I just don't see less value in watching a movie than in woodwork, gardening, sewing. Also, to be fair, a lot of times when I watch something, it's because I can't do anything else, "more productive", in that moment. I'm not gonna go turn on the sewing machine at midnight. The realistic choice is between watching tiktoks, shorts, etc, or hanging at lemmy for an hour, or watch a movie. I think watching a movie (or half) is time better spent than on social media clicking through short videos.

Not exactly 10+ times for... Probably any of these. But enough times that I'm certain I'd still discover more on another rewatch

• Airplane!
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• Longlegs

[tiger@sh.itjust.works]

Stay - great acting by Ewan Mcgreger, Ryan Gosling and Naomi watts. Super trippy, hard to understand completely in first tries and a great watch.

[rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca]

I've watched that probably a dozen times just for my favorite part... "Alright, I AM the messiah..."

[sergio@lemmy.world]

The thing is, a lot of the humor in that movie is like not that funny when you first see it, but then a couple days later out of nowhere you suddenly think: "He has a wife, you know..." And you're like: why did I think that? Oh yeah it's from the Life of Brian! That was hilarious!

"Blessed be the Cheesemakers...?"

"All I said was: that halibut was good enough for Jehovah!"

"Worse? How could I be making it any worse?"

"you are ALL INDIVIDUALS!!!"

"He's not the messiah! He's a very naughty boy!"

fml I'm dead....

[elextra@literature.cafe]

The YouTube videos and analysis is also so fascinating. Everyone finds something different!

[frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world]

Longlegs was deffo one of those films where you get a better understanding of it the more times you watch

[maiq@lemy.lol]

Mine is, "but you are the Messiah my lord and I should know I've followed a few".

[rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca]

When I was a teen I loved all their stuff, including the shows... but I get what you mean. Numerous times I've tried introducing it to friends only to be met with blank stares because they didn't quite understand the comedy of it. Sucks to be them.

[krudler@lemmy.world]

I really don't watch very much movie so I probably have the saddest comment of all. But on my fourth watching of office space I noticed that there's a misspelling on the jump to conclusions mat, it should say lose a turn not loose a turn.

I'm committed to a Tuttle costume before I die. But I've yet to find an occasion where I think a single person would recognize me.

[grimtuck@lemmy.world]

A Beatutiful Mind
Fight Club
Galaxy Quest
Twelve Monkeys
Shawshank Redemption
The Usual Suspects
True Romance
The Truman Show

[mikezane@lemmy.world]

I'm a fan of Fifth Element. Super enjoyable and there is a lot going on. It took a few watches before I realized the protagonist and the antagonist never actually meet in the movie.

[neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works]

The whole movie is quotable from start to finish.

[godric@lemmy.world]

SCOTT!

PIL-GRIM!

Edgar Wright is amongst my favorite directors, and the first half of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is my favorite movie ever. Fuck, I had to take a film class with one of the world's oddest professor in college before I could properly explain why I love the movie so much.

Each time I watch it I notice a little something more. I've lowkey been thinking about making a fan-cut with the deleted scenes and everything.

[cocodapuf@lemmy.world]

So you're the guy who liked that movie!

[cocodapuf@lemmy.world]

You know, I doubt I've seen any movie over 10 times, at least not since I was a kid watching the same vhs over and over. But I've probably seen office space more than any other and I've definitely never noticed that. Good eye.

Tenet

I'm as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It's hard to put into words, really.
At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to "feel" it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it's such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they "did" already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the "window in the time switching room" explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo.
I'm absolutely positively confused, and I love it.

Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he's thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?

Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)...
