People Are Sharing The Movies That Pretty Much ~Require~ A Rewatch In Order To Fully Appreciate Them

"Knowing what happens makes you start looking for clues and little things you missed."

Not all movies hit upon the first watch. However, whether you just felt like it or you were coaxed into it, sometimes films get a whole lot better with a rewatch!

20th Century Studios

I asked the BuzzFeed Community which films they think are "must-watch-agains", and this is what they came up with:

1. Coraline

Focus Features

"The detail, the story, and the characters have so much depth. It’s a truly beautiful film once you understand it properly."

—rebbeebee

2. Knives Out

Netflix

"These classic 'reveal everything at the end in a big montage' movies are sometimes ruined after the first watch, mostly because you know what happens or who did it. This is not one of those movies.

You get to experience the whole thing again, observe how all the different characters are acting, and you can also look out for little things you probably glossed over the first time. It 100% benefits from a second watch."

3. The Lord of the Rings

New Line Cinema

"This definitely has to be one, especially if you're like me and you haven't read the books. There is a lot to take in with so much of the action taking place in different places."

—kayblu02

"One does not simply watch Lord of the Rings just once."

4. The Menu

Searchlight Pictures

"I watched it at a film festival and sort of liked it, but wasn't sure. It wasn't until my friend asked me to describe it to her that I realised how much I enjoyed the plot. I got so far and then said to her, 'F it, let's watch it'. It was fun to see my friend trying to figure out what was happening, and I noticed a ton of new things as well."

5. Everything Everywhere All At Once

A24

"The first re-watch is to digest everything and catch all of the fun things you might've missed. Then you'd probably want to watch it once more because you'll be able to catch a LOT of references."

—zoraspopsicles

6. Tenet

Warner Bros. Pictures

"I had zero idea what was happening the first time I watched it. Thankfully, it made more sense the second time around."

—momoro

7. The Truman Show

Paramount Pictures

"Goodness me, this movie becomes wayyy more fascinating with every viewing. Knowing what you know (if you know), you start seeing so many little details that slipped past in the first watch. It's a film that's definitely worth rewatching once, twice, however many times!"

–casualgem30

8. Encanto

Walt Disney Motion Pictures Studios

"I fell in love with it the second time I saw it. I think it's Louisa that stood out the most for me the second time I watched it. I feel the saddest for her in some way. I just LOVE the whole movie, and always find an excuse to watch it with the kids."

—anme89

9. Inception

Warner Bros. Picture

"Inception has to be on this list. The ultimate, 'what did I just watch' film! I love it as it's a delightful 'mind-messer'... Even now, after many viewings, I'm still not 100% sure how it ended!"

—gem217

10. The Village

Buena Vista Pictures

"It's by far one of my favourite movies ever, but the second time watching it you start to appreciate the little details in the background and the true mastery behind the directing."

—leah-in-a-teapot

11. There Will Be Blood

Miramax Films

"There's a lot to take in, and you just can't absorb it all in one viewing."

—looloo_

12. Midsommar

A24

"The first time I watched it I was super underwhelmed. I don't know if I was expecting something else or what, it just kind of passed me by. I got convinced to rewatch it with a friend, and everything just clicked. For some reason, knowing their fates made each character far more interesting. I'd definitely recommend having a rewatch!"

–bendzialdowski

13. Persuasion

Netflix

"The first time I watched Persuasion I was kinda disappointed. However, the second time I got more into the rhythm of it, and the jokes and funny moments stood out to me more."

–sam_cleal

14. Goodnight Mommy

Amazon Studios

"This film definitely deserves a rewatch. When I watched it a second time everything became clear, particularly the twist!"

—lolop17

15. Get Out

Universal Pictures

"The first time I watched it, I was on the edge of my seat for most of it and I loved it! When I decided to show it to a friend, I found it even more gripping. For some reason, knowing what happens makes you start looking for clues and little things you missed."

–bendzialdowski

16. Step Brothers

Columbia Pictures

"The first time I thought, 'just no'. I accidentally saw it again and now think it’s a classic."

—bubbles1344

17. A Star is Born (2019)

Warner Bros. Pictures

"I fell asleep the first time and found it good, but not worth the hype. I watched it again a month later and I appreciated it SO much more. I even held my breath when he pees himself at the Grammy's even though I knew it was going to happen. Brilliant movie, one of my favourite ones now!"

—hobbitgirl96

18. Andhadhun

Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

"It's a Bollywood movie. There are a lot of fun details you can focus on once you know how the movie's ending."

—zoraspopsicles

19. When Harry Met Sally...

Columbia Pictures

"The first time I watched it I was a teenager and thought it was just another silly rom-com. Watching it at 40, after a serious relationship break-up, it hit differently."
