Buffalo 66, Bringing Out the Dead, Rear Window…
Princess Bride
Strictly Ballroom
Paul
LOTR
Secretary.
Doubt ne if you want, that movie has serious layers and is brilliantly written.
That movie is so hot. And I’ve met plenty of young women in the BDSM community who use submission as a mechanism to cope with trauma and fear. Its a better BDSM story than 50 Shades of Grey, that’s for zure.
12 Monkeys
Princess Bride
Fight Club
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
Blade Runner (both movies)
Good list. I’d like to add:
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Eyes Wide Shut
- Inception
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.
A fun little game is to point out all of the cameras that are visible. If you make that into a drinking game you would be dead by the end of the first act…
Memento
“Perfect Blue” by Satoshi Kon. Watching it dubbed multiple times so I notice the visuals. Also the changes between the sub and dub can bring more understanding.
Excuse me, who are you?
I had a lot of fun trying to look for more surveillance with each watch through of The Truman Show.
Star Wars OT and PT
Schuh des Manitu, (T)Raumschiff Suprise,
Amelie
You mean Fitgirl?
Austin powers
I’ve never heard of any of the movies you mentioned…
Hot Fuzz
Every watch you notice new little details. This film is the (modenr) textbook example of Checkov’s gun.
“You wanna be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village.”
Good choice, I have not seen that 10+ times yet, so on the list it goes!
I have not seen that 10+ times yet
I did watch Shaun of the Dead some 3 times or so. Please let that have some credit.
idiocracy
I do know about its existence, but the description doesn’t sound like I’d like it. In the queue, lemme try.
It’s good, but hits a little close to home these days.
I watched idiocracy at home a year or 2 after it came out, and I hated it because i felt like it beat you over the head with the message, like yeah I get it, I don’t need to watch an hour more of this!
…then I rewatched it after our handling of covid and January 6 insurrection… Thought to myself “yep… Thats how the future plays out…”
If you watched it now for the first time? In 2025? Fucking hell. I hate this timeline.
One can only hope we end up with a president like Camacho. Dudes an idiot, but at least he put in the effort to help his constituents by finding the smartest dude he could and have him solve their problems.
Sounds like it aged like wine.
It came out when I was busy getting started in life after school. So a lot of what came out in that period didn’t feel “genuine” at the time.
It’s stoner comedy and political analysys
- Terry Gilliam’s Brazil
- Akira
- What are you doing, step-bro?
Brazil is wild, always weird how little screen time De Niro gets, but how much presence he has in the movie!
I guess I 2nd that 3rd point.
I’m committed to a Tuttle costume before I die. But I’ve yet to find an occasion where I think a single person would recognize me.
