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.
SHUT IT!
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.
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!
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.

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 😬

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 !

yea ! cheers
The Big Lebowski. I’ve never seen another movie gain so much value over time and rewatches
Okay, Dude, have it your way.
The Prestige.
Akira. It’s weird and confusing. Goes from cyberpunk eye candy to bizarre metaphysical reality warp real quick.
Also body horror
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.
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.

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.

loved the live feed lol Never heard of a short story but hope you liked the movie, I sure did.

Shaun of the dead has so many jokes in that its hard to catch them all. There is some good YouTube videos that also explain them in case you missed any.
The matrix and Fight club ( both released in 1999 )
It was a great year for film.
Primer
When you first watch Primer you have no idea what’s going on. You need to watch it at least three more time for you to still have no idea what’s going on
The best time to watch Primer is immediately after watching Primer.
It really is a great movie. I found this timeline a while back that helps you make sense of it all…
Came here to say this, glad I am not alone.
