Off the top of my head / all-time popular: Avatar (the blue alien one) Interstellar The Dark Knight trilogy Lord of the Rings trilogy To satisfy my inner little boy: Ip Man Transformers Pacific Rim Animation: Frozen How to train your dragon trilogy Yeah I'm a basic bitch

The 3rd dark knight is so weird. Not as bad as other problematic outliers but one and two is enough for me

An outlier for Me that I rewatched often is Xmen 2 for some reason. Nostalgia and vibe just hits Me with that one.

A few off the top of my head:

  • Donnie Darko ; I'm a little more partial to the directors cut

  • Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2 ; watched pretty much all Tarentino stuff several times, but this one the most. Inglorious Bastards comes pretty close.

  • Gone Girl ; I love David Fincher. Only a coincidence that I've happened to have watched this one the most.

  • The Big Labowski ;

  • Shrek 1 & 2 ; watched an inconceivable amount of times. Rewatched Shrek 1 in Spanish and was blown away how hilarious it was. Turns out the script was readapted by Mexican comedians instead just a translation, and was the closest of a chance I've ever had to watch a movie again for the first time

i have never rewatched a movie, I didn't know that was much of a thing.

All of my friends and family rewatch movies. Acquaintances from work will recommend movies they move to rewatch. It is really common in my experience, although I do have one friend who barely watches movies and if he does it is only once.

I have ADHD and miss details, a lot of details. If I enjoy a movie then it is likely that I will rewatch it if I am not particularly focused to keep up with a new movie, and I tend to find lots of little things I missed or notice things in the background.

Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) The Third Man (1949) The Ladykillers (1955) The Big Lebowski (1998) Repo Man (1984) Stalker (1979) Probably several others, but those are the first to come to mind.

Repo Man has one of my all time favorite lines.

Harry Dean Stanton.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. I know it's popular to hate on them and point out flaws, but most of them are perfect "junk food" comfort food flicks. And some of them are really good!

Back in the day I was a supervisor in a call center.

We had large screen TVs up in all the rooms. We had access to a cable station with movies on demand.

There was one guy who begged us to put on 'The Avengers' every day.

There are plenty (nearing my 60s, I've had plenty time to watch movies ;). So allow me to name just a few I always enjoy watching. They are in no order save the two first ones: '2001 A Space Odyssey'. There are movies, many are not that great, some are excellent and of those a few are true work of art, and then there is '2001'. I'm an admirer of most of Kubrick's work but this one is in a categ...

'Judge Roy Bean'

First time I've heard it mentioned in a long, long time.

Wonderful choice.

A History of Violence was pretty underrated. Barry Lyndon bored the hell out of me, but the lighting was very impressive from a technical perspective (they actually used candles and a super low aperture lens for some scenes, no additional lighting).

Watch 'The 3 Musketeers' with Oliver Reed.

Fun movie, and it looks like a painting.

That and the Steven Universe movie, but I'm guessing that's not a very good first watch lol

Unusual or less known movies I've watched a quite a few times: Leaves of Grass A Scanner Darkly Red Lights Where the Buffalo Roam Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -2010: The Year We Make Contract My mind is blanking on the others

When the young cosmonaut races to Roy Scheider's cabin and hugs him because she is terrified of dying alone.

Lithgow having a nervous breakdown on his first space walk, then helping the cosmonaut when he freaks out.

I'm old, so tons of them... mainly SF, fantasy, etc. all the LOTR (extended), Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, BTTF, etc. Dances With Wolves (the extended version)

a good trilogy too: Once upon a time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, Once upon a time in America.

Seriously tons of movies from 2000 and less. Also dozens and dozens of French movies (native language) I have watched multiple times.

I never watched a MCU movie for instance. Since LOTR trilogy I basically stopped watching new movies, nothing beats them.

My go to comfort movies are: Sneakers Hackers The Italian Job (2003) Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)\ Note: I didn’t say ā€œBestā€ or ā€œFavoriteā€ but these are infinitely rewatchable for me with any level of attention paid to them.

Have you ever watched the original 'The Italian Job?'

Benny Hill as a computer genius is the least funny thing in the movie.

I have a lot.

One that gets almost no love anywhere is "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."

I get that Brangelina was already played out before the movie even opened, but it's well worth a look. Enough comedy, action, and romance for three separate movies.

I think of all the movies everyone has mentioned only the Rocky Horror Picture Show is the one I’ve seen more then three times in cinemas. Sure I’ve seen a lot of movies three or more times but only Rocky had Saturday night Midnight showings that I went to for a couple of years.

On second thought the local rep house also played Stop Making Sense for a few months for Friday night midnight dance parties and I’m pretty sure I went to 10 or 12 of those too.

Quite so.

Barry Lyndon bored the hell out of me,

Not the most fast paced movie that ever was, I will agree on that. Still, I first watched it as a teen (already into history) and was in awe. This was first time I could walk into painting of those long gone times ;)

In a similar way, Peter Greenaway, the English director did a few great movies too: The Draughtsman's Contract, 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover', Prospero's Books,...

A ton, but the one I'm most inclined to talk about is The Thing (1982). We rewatch it almost weekly since I introduced my spouse to it which is amazing because each time we spend about an hour afterwards dissecting the things motives, the order of replacements, different theories, etc. It's truely one of the best movies ever made. The practical effects get a ton of praise, but for me it's just gotta efficiently the movie is at what it does. You know every character within minutes of their appearance, you feel the alienation and paranoia, and the thing itself is so inexplicable that even after hundreds of watches in my life time I genuinely can't rationalize why it does what it does.

The 2011 one would have been better if they left in the pilot alien and had better set and custome guys. It doesn't feel like a pequal, it feels like a remake set in 2011.

There was a time I’d watch V for Vendetta every November 5th, but that’s fallen off in recent years. Still a great movie; it’s one of those few films I think is better than the source material. I have also probably seen Billy Madison 500 times. There are a ton more I could list but those are jumping out in my head

A lot of good moments in that movie. My fave is when that scientist has to tell Hal to stay behind, and Hal's like hol up, what'll happen to me? Then for a couple seconds the movie just pauses while Hal decides whether to go along with it or not.

So, when they were preparing for the first movie, the monolith was supposed to be a shiny diamond. Nothing the effects people could come up with looked right, so in the story boards they replaced the diamond with a black box. Then someone said that the black box looked cool, so they went with the monolith.

For years, fans speculated about what the monolith meant. Clarke and Kubrick kept mum. Finally, Clarke was at an event and some kid said he had the anwer.

The ratio of the monolith was 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of the first three numbers.

Clarke liked it so much he put it in the sequel.

And yes, that actor is very underrated.
