27 Movies That Get Better Every Time You Watch Them

Movies that age like a fine wine... or Kate Winslet.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community which movies deserve to be viewed way more than once. Here's your new Netflix queue.

1. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Fox Searchlight / Via iamaf-ckinglady.tumblr.com

"The first time you watch it you're like, "What is this?" But you have to watch it a second time to take it as it is: hilarious."

–mollyr4fa551d61

2. Juno (2007)

Mandate Pictures / Via no-one-important--anymore.tumblr.com

"Kinda sad/depressing at first watch, and you miss a lot of the humor. By the second watch, the sarcasm hits home and it all becomes super funny."

–taylord475996e6d

3. Blue Is The Warmest Color (2013)

Quat'sous Films / Via weheartit.com

"It truly deserves to be viewed a second time in order to appreciate the painstakingly beautiful cinematography and character portrayals. Chances are the average viewer (like me) will get too absorbed in the drama to realize the detailed efforts put into the film."

–ellew3

4. The Breakfast Club (1985)

Universal Pictures / Via moonlight-and-irrational-fright.tumblr.com

"I first saw it at 13 when I was just trying to figure out who I was, and I was definitely the basket case. But after about a hundred viewings, I realized at age 17 that I didn't have to be one of them, I could be all of them. Thanks, Breakfast Club!"

5. Raising Arizona (1987)

Circle Films / Via pandalala.tumblr.com

"It's not the *greatest* movie ever made, but it IS *perfect*. Not one single aspect of this film–not casting, dialogue, cinematography, music, nothing–could be altered to improve it in any way, and each time I watch it I see something new that reinforces that opinion (and we're talking well past the 200-mark at this point, f'real)."

6. Shutter Island (2010)

Paramount Pictures / Via howardhawkshollywoodannex.tumblr.com

"Nothing beats the mind-blowing feeling of watching it the first time, but the more you watch it, the more you're amazed by the smooth mechanics of the whole scenario and the attention they put into every little detail. Plus Leo's performance never gets old!"

–FluorescentAdolescent

7. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

20th Century Fox Films / Via entertainmentweekly.tumblr.com

"The first time you watch, there's so much weirdness going on that you get distracted. With subsequent viewings, you learn the songs, get jokes you missed and see the characters' hilarious facial expressions. There are tons of little jokes in the background if you pay close attention!!"

–juliag4d662f0b0

8. Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Via importantcontent.tumblr.com

"Based on the opening, I expected the tone to be 'brooding dark anime,' and then suddenly Howl turns out to be a complete dork, and it really threw me. When I re-watched it as more of an action comedy, I appreciated the ~whimsy~ from the start a lot more."

–Kris Gutknecht, Facebook

9. Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind (2004)

Focus Features / Via chloegemel.tumblr.com

"First time I liked it fine, second time I was like, 'Wow, this is better than I remember'... and by third time I realized her hair color is the clue to what phase of their relationship you're in and I was completely hooked. "

–Jordan Murphy, Facebook

10. Airplane! (1980)

Paramount Pictures / Via theawkwardcheese.tumblr.com

"Every time I watch I catch another pun or another prop or another comedic bit that I didn't catch the previous watch. It will never cease to be funny."

–Kati Chachere, Facebook

11. The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

Touchstone Pictures / Via avenging-hobbits.tumblr.com

"The way the characters change seems so slight on the first viewing, and then watching it again you realize how cataclysmic the events of the movie are for them. And basically any Wes Anderson movie, for all the little eccentric details in the background that are impossible to catch in one viewing."

–Adam Zane Cook, Facebook

12. Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964)

Columbia Pictures Corporation / Via lubezki.tumblr.com

"I have never seen a film with more subtle jokes than Dr. Strangelove. The names, the imagery and the phrasing all have some innuendo pulsating through them. The more I picked up on the jokes, the more I fell in love with Dr. Strangelove."

–Ann Catherine Hughes, Facebook

13. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

Universal Pictures / Via the-sins-of-sinister-sound.tumblr.com

"I hated it the first time 'round, then you appreciate the manic quality of it."

–jamest4c4b0fcfb

14. Donnie Darko (2001)

Pandora Films / Via oldgoodays.tumblr.com

"Donnie Darko has a lot of complexity to it. The more you expire the film's lore the better it gets. The world has special properties that you won't pick up till at least the second viewing."

–Michael Schulte

15. The Sixth Sense (1999)

Hollywood Pictures / Via ninetiesblog.tumblr.com

"The Sixth Sense is absolutely better the second time! After you have watched it once and had your mind utterly and completely blown by the plot twist, you can watch it the second time to try and catch all the little hints throughout the movie."

–Beccaapples

16. Stepbrothers (2008)

Columbia Pictures / Via mo-than-usual.tumblr.com

"The first time it seems kind of dumb. But it is truly genius."

–lucyd46921995f

17. Dazed and Confused (1993)

Gramercy Pictures / Via tayyv123.tumblr.com

"It came out when I was in high school and I didn't get why everyone liked it. Now that I'm far removed from those high school days, it really speaks to how carefree those years really were. It's about the nostalgia for simpler times."

–kristas4a2a6cbcb

18. Pleasantville (1998)

New Line Cinema / Via cinyma.tumblr.com

"I first watched it as a kid, and both the biblical allusions and the sexual innuendos were way over my head. Rewatching it a few weeks ago was one big spit take as I realized what half the plot of the movie was."

–ameliacovertz

19. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Warner Bros. / Via bluemoonshiner.tumblr.com

"It's so full of motifs, themes, foreshadowing, and symbolism that you can always uncover something new each time you see it. Every tiny detail is there for a reason."

–marielaochoa

20. Clue (1985)

Paramount Pictures / Via blazingdarkness.tumblr.com

"I've been watching this movie since I was a kid and I STILL always find new things in it that make me laugh every time I watch it (which is a lot). So many jokes, physical humor, and scenes that just seem to fall apart in the best way. It's comedy gold!"

–jamesd4b350daf7

21. The Princess Bride (1987)

Act III Communications / Via stormbornravenclaw.tumblr.com

"The Princess Bride never gets old. I've been watching it since I was four years old and it gets better ever time!"

–claireg4d13adaab

22. Pitch Perfect (2012)

Brownstone Productions / Via queenpervie.tumblr.com

"The very first time I saw it I barely laughed at all; now I know every line and laugh at all of them every single time."

–MeredithBroadwayDreams

23. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance) (2014)

New Regency Pictures / Via taraantino.tumblr.com

"I did enjoy it the first time I saw it, but wasn't over the moon about it. But after knowing the ending, there's so many tiny details and foreshadowing and it's crazy cool to see how intentional the director is!"

–Heather Martin, Facebook

24. Memento (2000)

Newmarket Capital Group / Via hirxeth.tumblr.com

"It's a great film, and the plot line is one you really have to follow, so when you watch it a second time you pick up on things that you didn't see first time."

–lauraf49234c770

25. She's The Man (2006)

DreamWorks / Via caseyistired.tumblr.com

"Amanda Bynes at her best! All of her lines are hilarious and I use them in every day life! I think it's a really underrated film. I don't even like soccer and this is my all time favorite movie."

–allisonc4e160b9de

26. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Michael White Productions / Via thiscallsforagif.tumblr.com

"I've seen it so many times, and every time I laugh tell my stomach hurts."

–plainjane124

27. Now You See Me (2013)

Summit Entertainment / Via markfluffyruffalo.tumblr.com

"Even after knowing what happens, you pick up on subtle phrases and actions that mean so much the second time around. Or, you completely forget what you already knew and get swept up in the magic of the film."
