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.

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.

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.

They are both terrific movies bit quite different I'd say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.

As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn't seen it should remedy that ASAP.

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

Tenet

I'm as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It's hard to put into words, really. At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to "feel" it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it's such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they "did" already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the "window in the time switching room" explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo. I'm absolutely positively confused, and I love it.

Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he's thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?

Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)...

Stay - great acting by Ewan Mcgreger, Ryan Gosling and Naomi watts. Super trippy, hard to understand completely in first tries and a great watch.

"Marathon Man."

I think it was my fifth viewing that I realized a character from the beginning shows up briefly in the middle.

Seen this once, but I think there is no argument to be made about watching it again.

I really don't watch very much movie so I probably have the saddest comment of all. But on my fourth watching of office space I noticed that there's a misspelling on the jump to conclusions mat, it should say lose a turn not loose a turn.

You know, I doubt I've seen any movie over 10 times, at least not since I was a kid watching the same vhs over and over. But I've probably seen office space more than any other and I've definitely never noticed that. Good eye.

"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.

Victoria (2015) does that for me. Maybe it's because the whole movie is recorded in a single take, but it holds my attention in a way most others don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_(2015_film)

By the end of the film I'm always so shocked by how things have developed over the last few hours. Seeing the light change into morning is very sobering

I know what you mean. I feel like I’ve lived through an experience. Actually, I hadn’t thought of the light until you said it just now. They did time it perfectly to include that. I must watch it again!

Thanks I'll give that a shot. From that period (2004) I love Paranoid 1.0 (or whatever they name it, the one with Jeremy Sisto).

I like to exploit content (movies, music, books) instead of it exploiting me. So many copycats throughout the years!

Good for you that you were able to retire at such a young age. You think that's a good reason not to enjoy stuff you once enjoyed before? Have you ever eaten the same meal twice because it was that good?

Growing up in a small town, movie selections were slim, so I watched a lot of movies back them multiple times. I don't get to watch movies as often as I'd like and when I do I usually choose gaming over movies. So when I do watch something I want it to be new. However there is at least 10 movies I will rewatch at least once every couple of years.

It's a show, not a movie, but I have been watching Fleabag at least 20 times on repeat within half a year (November to April). I do a lot of housework and it often plays in the background while I cook or clean. I know every line. I know every shot and smile and can basically watch it in my head.

When I was 11, I was watching the VHS tape with Pirates of the Caribbean daily for about 1.5 months.

Movies and series are just one of my favorite things in the world. I do want to make time for that. Are there more important and wholesome things to do? Absolutely. But I also feel like I should be allowed to do something not meaningful or important every now and then. I've been thinking about it a lot throughout my life, whether, on my deathbed, I will regret having watched so much stuff, thinking I should have spent that time differently. I don't think I will. Because I love stories. I think it is one (possible) meaning of life, to listen to as many stories as you can. I listen to people's stories, to things that are actually happening, and TV and movies are another medium that also tells stories. I understand that a lot of people prefer books, maybe that's objectively the better, healthier choice, but I am fine with choosing the former. I once fancied a career in that field, but after a year I realized that it killed any joy I got out of it, and fucked up my health (99.9% of people are smokers). But at the end of the day, thinking of something from scratch and conveying this idea of events to someone else is fantastic. It is amazing. I feel like I have lived a thousand lives, and I want to live another thousand.

And I reevaluate that question and my answer to it often, on a regular basis. So far, I am very d'accord with it.

Also, just to make it clear, of course I do other stuff. I go outside with my kid every day, we play, we are being creative, I meet a lot of people and always have. I just don't see less value in watching a movie than in woodwork, gardening, sewing. Also, to be fair, a lot of times when I watch something, it's because I can't do anything else, "more productive", in that moment. I'm not gonna go turn on the sewing machine at midnight. The realistic choice is between watching tiktoks, shorts, etc, or hanging at lemmy for an hour, or watch a movie. I think watching a movie (or half) is time better spent than on social media clicking through short videos.
