One of the best movies I ever saw was "Uncut Gems" from 2019, with Adam Sandler doing an amazing job in a dramatic role. He won a Best Actor Oscar for his performance.

Imho some of the best work now is being done for limited TV series on Netflix, Apple, Paramount+, British TV, etc.

Hmmm.... The OP question was about movies you could watch over and over again, not "the best movies". So ask yourself, would you watch Uncut Gems a second time the next day? If the answer is No, then it wouldn't belong on this list. "Best movies" and "movies with rewatch potential" may have some overlap but it is not the same thing.

Here's one example: Saving Private Ryan certainly belongs in any list of "best war movies" but I did not include it in my top 3 for rewatchability in that category because it is so heavy and I could not stomach it on a repeat viewing back to back.

I am the same way about movies such as The Game. Great movie but not rewatchable once I know the end.

The great directors such as Tarantino and Coppola has such complex and detailed scenes with corresponding dialogue that I pick up something new every time I watch it. I loved how Dave Chappelle said once during a California earthquake that he put Apocalypse Now in the VHS/DVD player because if it was The Big One, he wanted to go out rewatching that movie. Lots of characters in every scene with lots of dialogue is the key to making the movie rewatchable. It took years to film Apocalypse Now and The Godfather movies. Coppola poured his soul and most of his own wealth into making Apocalypse Now. Tarantino is a movie buff who approached his movies from a story and dialogue first approach, then thought about acting and backgrounds.

Wow. There seems to be a "tough crowd" on terb these days...

"Uncut Gems" was not on my "watch over and over again" list, as per my post #8 in this thread.

I only mentioned it in response to Patron's post #33 in which he stated, and which I quoted in my "Uncut Gems" post:

"Amazing how there are practically none on anyone’s list from the past decade.

Like music, we are lucky to have all lived during the Golden Age of entertainment.

Nothing but shit is made now. "

I agreed with him for the most part, but mentioned "Uncut Gems" as merely being a great movie, which was released in 2019.

Not trying to give anyone a tough time🙂. Even if Uncut Gems was on your rewatch list, it would have been your choice and not for me to argue with. I was simply making a point that the thread was about "rewatch" movies not "best" movies. Just an observation, did not intend to come across as stepping over anyone's choice. I actually enjoy threads like this and the variety of opinions tremendously. Cheers!

I understand. For me if the movie manages to elicit the same reaction/feeling whether I know the plot/ending or not, then it's rewatchable 🙂.

Kind of surprised given the subject matter of Terb, and the number of responses that occur whenever there are relationship and approaching women threads, that I was the only one who mentioned Carnal Knowledge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnal_Knowledge_(film)#:~:text=Carnal%20Knowledge%20is%20a%201971,Rita%20Moreno%20and%20Cynthia%20O'Neal.

Two guys are friends throughout life while having different skills with getting dates and sex early on. They have many relationships, breakups and divorces. The more mild mannered character, a physician played by Art Garfunkel, ultimately ends up (only because the movie has to end sometime and this was the time before fucking sequels) with a much younger feminist. The gregarious lawyer played by Jack Nicholson, who summarizes his relationships with women in a film he calls Ballbusters on Parade, finds happiness with a sex worker that her sees regularly and does the same role play scenario with.

It isn’t one they show regularly on The Lifetime Channel. The dialogue and changes to the ages of the guys is excellent, but what drove its critics nuts at the time still exists now for the folks who hated Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. No hugging, no learning, as Larry David liked to say. The female characters in Carnal Knowledge were looked upon as sex objects in the movie. Not because that is all they were, but because that is how the two central male characters saw them, and part of the study is how those women responded to the approaches by the two different guys.

You beat me to it, Anne had some chach on her at the time that made her irresistible.

Adam Sandler's talent is limitless but he's lazy. He'd rather make public shitting films instead of masterpieces. Even so he has several...

Here's one that was released in 2023 I've watched maybe 3 times.
Flamin' Hot
It's about a janitor at FritoLay with layoffs looming and potential shutting down the location he was convinced the company was missing out on the latin market down in California for spicey snacks.
It was not all about him as he had a supportive wife who encouraged him to go after his dreams. His young son's also played a part in him succeeding. Also coworkers like normal, some were encouraging and some in the way, but the CEO saw something in the janitor's vision
It was a feel good story with humour and has you rooting for the underdog.

1993 Rudy
Young small man with big dreams. Playing football with his and his families favorite college team Notre Dame.
Truly inspirational and rooting for the underdog.
