I know it's not the best movie and probably not a rewatch for most, but I love to watch "stay" (2005) the entire weird ambiance of it and the way it was directed just makes it a yearly rewatch for me

I just rewatched Goldeneye the other day and oh boy did it NOT hold up. I dunno, in my head it was amazing and seeing it again it's all so ever the top in all the wrong ways that this is one movie I won't see again
After a TBI my short-term memory kept resetting every 15 mins or so for a couple of days. Because I found that quite distressing my then-girlfriends put on The Fifth Element on repeat and took shifts watching me.
It worked well, because I'd already seen it so many times that it didn't matter when I reset I could just enjoy the bit I was there for and not think about why I didn't remember stuff.
I still watch it every now and then :-)

O brother, where art thou?
Came here to say A Knight's Tale 👍
"Marathon Man" It was written by the author of "The Princess Bride" and was designed to need rewatching. A minor character in one scene shows up halfway through the story. A casual conversation gives away an entirely new slant on two characters.
"Big Trouble In Little China." I can't believe I'm the first to mention this one. Completely stupid on every level, yet it works perfectly.

Hot Fuzz. There are so many easter eggs in the movie that you'll still be finding new ones a dozen watches later.
Pulp Fiction
Terminator 1 & 2
Alien and Aliens
Second Pulp Fiction. I had a red vehicle once that I named Fred, and when folks asked why, I said Fred's red baby.
Pulp Fiction +1
Palm Springs , because it's an easy watch, it's funny and there is not much to stress out about.
Any of the "Cornetto trilogy" by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Frost, my favorite being Hot Fuzz . I'd even add Scott Pilgrim. There are so many details, jokes, references and other easter eggs that I just don't tire of watching them.
Finally, one of my all-time favs is Amelie , it awakened my love for cinema, it is beautiful, it has a heartwarming message and there is no real conflict in it.

Master and Commander: Far Side of the world.

This is a nice limo.

Princess Bride, and I enjoyed watching Ready Player One a few times. Any Month Python movie. Mr Nobody.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a half a tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

It's the only movie where I watched it was was like "shit, I could watch it again right away". And I did. And again it was great. After that I rewatched it many times. The acting is just sooooo good it never gets boring. I think Spacey has the weakest performance there and it says a lot if two Academy Award winning actor looks average compared to his castmates.
never heard of it, thanks for the tip!
TLOTR trilogy. I could watch those til the end of time.

Knives Out (any of them honestly)
Most films from Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz & Scott Pilgrim especially)
Everything Everywhere All At Once
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended editions)
If you liked 'Knives Out' watch "The Last of Shelia"
The director says that this movie was the original inspiration; it's got twists you'll never see coming.

Braid (dir by Mitzi Peirone)
This is probably my favourite film of the last decade, it's beautifully shot, written and directed, and the three lead actresses are fantastic.
Imo Braid is endlessly rewatchable too as it never fully explains what's actually going on, or what is fully real, and with each rewatch you notice new things and kinda start to piece more of the story together.
For me -
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
- Godzilla (1954 & 1956)
- Gamera (1965)
- The Lord of the Rings (all three, extended editions)
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
And proof that I'm kinda a film nerd (and I had family in journalism)...
- Citizen Kane (1941)
Oh, and most Star Trek movies.
