Waking Life.

If you wrap your head around it after the 2nd viewing, you're doing better than most people.

It took me a few watchings of Akira to really have it all sink in.

Koyaanisqatsi

Visual poetry. Literally. It's conveying a message, it's just you have to come up with the dialogue. Beautiful work. The sequels are fantastic as well.

For me, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Every subsequent watch, I add more to the commentary of "Is he crazy?" and "Is Nurse Ratched evil or just doing her job?"

Tenet. I’ve watched it probably four times. Got my sister onto it and I think she’s seen it like seven times now.

Very rewatchable. It can make sense but I’d say it takes you at least two viewings to follow along. Probably three.

I wish there was a sequel but I don’t think that’s Christopher Nolan’s style.

I see other Nolan movies listed here. There’s definitely a theme in them with time, story order and apparently, dead wives?

The Holy Mountain. I suggest just watching it.

Tenet, watched it thrice to get the jist of it.

Until EEAAO came.

Tenet had that rollercoaster feel, which was surprisingly good. EEAAO was gentle, slowly elevating to the "showdown".

The parallel universes and alternate lives? by far the coolest.

I heard Tenet sucked, so it was firmly in the maybe column on my list of movies to watch. I finally watched it and was really fascinated by it. I didn't like it nearly as much as Inception and Interstellar, but it was a fun movie with unique ideas. I don't know how it got such a shitty reputation. I think people were just dumb and rather than admitting that they didn't get it they said that the movie was bad. It was certainly flawed in several ways, but it didn't deserve the level of criticism it got when it came out.

Would serial Experiments Lain count? Anime series that seems to change after each rewatch.

Clerks, there are so many great gems buried in that movie.

I love this movie and have seen it many times, but I'm not sure rewatching it makes it all that much different. Do you have any examples to share?

Deja Vu with Denzel Washington and Jim Cavisal or however you spell it. Terrorist murder mystery with a bit of a look into the past.

Titanic. The ending recontextualises everything and I'm still talking about it

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Enter the Void (2009). Super trippy and one of those movies that leaves you wondering about everything each time you watch it.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not a movie, but bojack horse man. On the first watch it all just seems like shitty bojack. After learning all the back story its more like, oh poor bojack.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's mostly shitty Bojack. Sure he had trauma and depression, but he always made the choice to continue the self destructive cycle.
