Every watch you notice new little details. This film is the (modenr) textbook example of Checkov's gun.

I’ve passed through Everything Everywhere All At Once approximately eighty times now, because on every single viewing, I’m discovering one or two tiny fragments of interrelationship that I’ve never seen before.

It’s a marvelous, marvelous movie.

Life of Brian.

12 Monkeys

In The Mouth of Madness

The Thing

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don’t think I did 10 times, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sure offered something new every time I watched it.

God that movie was subtle.

Clue

The Matrix.

Primer

Snatch. Always picked up something new every watch.

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.

Secretary.

Doubt ne if you want, that movie has serious layers and is brilliantly written.

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

My Fair Lady

History of the World, Part I

Any/every Hitchcock movie.

12 Monkeys

Princess Bride

Fight Club

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

Blade Runner (both movies)

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.

Silence of the Lambs.

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

Blade Runner

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Monte Python and the Holy Grail

Christmas Carol (1951 w/Alistair Sim)

Memento

Naked Lunch. That movie is so dense. Particularly when you find out what parts are ba based on real life.

Forrest Gump

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