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.

Lots of movies I’ve rewatched a lot of times but one I can think of off of the top of my head that offers something new on subsequent rewatched is The Truman Show.
There’s just… soooo much stuff there. Like, does Truman become aware of what’s going on over there course of the beginning of the movie, or is he already aware before the movie even began and trying to blend in?
And because the movie is really fun to watch, you will come back to it, and notice something new every time.
A fun little game is to point out all of the cameras that are visible. If you make that into a drinking game you would be dead by the end of the first act…

Doubt ne if you want, that movie has serious layers and is brilliantly written.

I had a lot of fun trying to look for more surveillance with each watch through of The Truman Show.
The Big Lebowski. Every time.
He just picks things up through the movie and uses them later. One of the best examples starts in the opening scene of the movie where he’s buying milk and paying with a check, as he’s writing it out there’s a t.v. behind the cashier playing GWB Sr saying “This aggression against Kuwait will not stand”, then way later in the movie someone is shouting at him and he uses the line “this aggression will not stand” and you know he’s picked it up from that earlier scene and used it again. The movie is full of this kind of callback and interaction.
The elder President Bush was HW.
The conversation with him and Maude Lebowski is also a great example of this:
Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: 'Scuse me?
Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?
The Dude: I was talking about my rug.
Maude Lebowski: You’re not interested in sex?
The Dude: You mean coitus?

I’m as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It’s hard to put into words, really. At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to “feel” it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it’s such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they “did” already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the “window in the time switching room” explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo. I’m absolutely positively confused, and I love it.
Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he’s thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?
Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)…
SCOTT!
PIL-GRIM!
Edgar Wright is amongst my favorite directors, and the first half of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is my favorite movie ever. Fuck, I had to take a film class with one of the world’s oddest professor in college before I could properly explain why I love the movie so much.
Each time I watch it I notice a little something more. I’ve lowkey been thinking about making a fan-cut with the deleted scenes and everything.
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.

I really liked the movie Commas.
Think they wrote it as a list but didn’t do the extra spaces at the end of each line to make the markdown respect the line breaks:
A Beautiful Mind
Fight Club
Galaxy Quest
Twelve Monkeys
Shawshank Redemption
The Usual Suspects
True Romance
The Truman ShowFixed! Thanks for the hint!
No problem 😁
I came back to this when I had the time just now because I realized that after the fact.
Thank you for helping them.
