What movie(s) did you watch 10+ times and offered something new with each view?
-
Buffalo 66, Bringing Out the Dead, Rear Window…
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.

Princess bride
The whole movie is quotable from start to finish.

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.

Tenet. I got the story the first time, but there are so many little details in it...

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.
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.

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)...

I do know about its existence, but the description doesn't sound like I'd like it. In the queue, lemme try.
It's stoner comedy and political analysys

The Big Lebowski. Every time.
He just picks things up through the movie and uses them later. One of the best examples starts in the opening scene of the movie where he's buying milk and paying with a check, as he's writing it out there's a t.v. behind the cashier playing GWB Sr saying "This aggression against Kuwait will not stand", then way later in the movie someone is shouting at him and he uses the line "this aggression will not stand" and you know he's picked it up from that earlier scene and used it again. The movie is full of this kind of callback and interaction.

I had a lot of fun trying to look for more surveillance with each watch through of The Truman Show.

I really liked the movie Commas.
Think they wrote it as a list but didn't do the extra spaces at the end of each line to make the markdown respect the line breaks:
A Beautiful Mind
Fight Club
Galaxy Quest
Twelve Monkeys
Shawshank Redemption
The Usual Suspects
True Romance
The Truman Show -
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.
Nah, Dark has a proper, satisfying ending, they didn't just abandon it. Definitely worth watching.

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.
Brick is wonderful, such a brilliant movie.
There's a new film on Netflix called Brick and I was so disappointed that it's not the same one!

Lots of movies I’ve rewatched a lot of times but one I can think of off of the top of my head that offers something new on subsequent rewatched is The Truman Show.
There’s just… soooo much stuff there. Like, does Truman become aware of what’s going on over there course of the beginning of the movie, or is he already aware before the movie even began and trying to blend in?
And because the movie is really fun to watch, you will come back to it, and notice something new every time.
