Buffalo 66, Bringing Out the Dead, Rear Window…
“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?
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.
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.

“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.
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!
Memento. Upon the 10th re-watch I actually managed to follow the story.
Jokes aside, I love that movie. It just takes a lot of effort to actually learn wtf is happening.

Yesss I have found my people
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.
Longlegs was deffo one of those films where you get a better understanding of it the more times you watch
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.
I’m one of the few that hated that movie. Started strong, got weird in a fun funny way, got weirder to the point where I’m in just to see where it’s going, then idk it just lost me and I was out
I think it speaks to me cause I have unmedicated ADHD.
The YouTube videos and analysis is also so fascinating. Everyone finds something different!
What ? Do people do that ?
I have nevwr watched a.moive even twice let alone 10 times. How in hell.do you find the time ? I retired at age 35 and am now 60 and always struggle to find time to do things.
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.
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.
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?
Everyone has time for the things they prioritize. And not much more.
You should try being a crazy loner. You’ll have time for all kinds of frivolous shit.

The whole movie is quotable from start to finish.
