Surprised no one mentioned Memento.
I'd say that you HAVE to re-watch it to understand wtf is going on.
Ghostbusters, Back To The Future trilogy, Terminator 2, Beetlejuice, The Matrix, OG Star Wars Trilogy, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, Goodfellas, Jacob’s Ladder, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Boogie Nights
Gattaca. It's just such a well made film.
The big lebowski almost requires rewatching. It just gets funnier and funnier every time, there are so many little details and quotable lines. "Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man."
Thematically, you can watch the film through different lenses. I remember reading an article about the religious undertones - the dude as Buddha, Walter as Yahweh etc. Makes Jesus as a weird little pervert even funnier.
for quite a long time following the matrix i rewatched that shit so many times on so many different media that i could pretty much recite the entire movie. it's been quite a while now, so if i ever watched it again i would enjoy it just as much, but my ability to karaoke along would probably be down to 40-50% of the spoken lines.
the fight club is fun to rewatch couple times because you keep seeing new layers of foreshadowing.
up is always a joy, and a guarantee for me to cry twice. i was gonna say tear up but that shit hits me hard i can barely contain myself.
The Coronetto Trilogy from Edgar Wright
-Shaun of the Dead
-Hot Fuzz
-The Worlds End
I rewatched Young Guns recently, and besides the fantastic nostalgia rush, I realized that I had only ever seen the edited for TV version
Real steel
Taking of Pelham 123 is one of the most watchable movies I've seen. The original.
Agree with many others here. Also: Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies, Bad Boys, The Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Hot Shots: Part Deux, Deadpool 1-3
Heck yeah! Hot shots is so good
The 1993 Super Mario Bros.
As campy and crappy as it is, it never fails to put a smile on my face and make me laugh, that movie rules.
I watch V for Vendetta every November
I have watched SnowPiercer at least 6 times (and yes, I totally belive it is a sequel to Willy Wonka)
Groundhog Day, once a year.
Man of steel Batman V Superman UE Zack Snyder's Justice League The Dark Knight Trilogy Inception Interstellar Pulp Fiction Django Unchained
Spaceballs
The Birdcage. Every time it ends, I want to restart it.
Porch Rosso and some other ghibli movies I guess.
Groundhog Day
And Edge of Tomorrow!
This is a must watch every day.
Usual Suspects.
Prometheus. Such a great movie!
We must be thinking of different films...
I know it gets lots of hate, but it's a visually stunning movie.
The production values are good, and it's generally entertaining, but I just can't cope with the gaps in logic and the seemingly deliberate attempts to make it conflict with the Alien films.
I'd rather re-watch the Red Letter Media review than the film itself.
5th Element.
One of, if not the best action flick of all time.
I submit both Crank and Crank 2 as the best, most self-aware action movies of all time.
Shoot em up should be on that list imo

ITT: Cults and their followers.
Buckaroo Banzai
Oh man, I watched this a couple weeks ago. It had probably been decades since I last saw it. It was just as awesome/terrible as I remembered.

You're right.

Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.
Down Periscope for sure!

Die Hard and Galaxy Quest.
The pacing of these movies is great. There's really no part of either I'd fast forward.

Any Lord of the Rings.
"Alien" (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart... but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.
