"It's Invigorating Trying To Spot All The Little Clues" – 24 Movies That Definitely Require A Rewatch

"I didn’t see the twist at the end coming so I had to watch it again immediately to pick up on the clues."

"Rewatching any movie with a twist ending is worth it. A rewatch is excellent because you notice all the extra hidden details. For example, notice how often the colour red shows up in that film."

"It gets my vote for needing a second, third, fourth, or however many times viewing. I love this film so much but I appreciated it more after watching it the second time! I love the relationship between D'Jango and his German partner. And Leonardo DiCaprio's character is brilliant too, even though he's a total dick!"

"The first time I saw it I was completely underwhelmed because I was expecting it to be more scary/gory, but then I found that it stuck in my mind afterwards. I decided to watch it again and loved it the second, and third time! It’s definitely a film that grows on you."

"It's one of those films where character's motivations look a lot different once you know the twist."

—alsosushigal007

"It needs at least a couple of watches as it moves at breakneck speed with absolutely no hand-holding. Totally worth the effort though."

"Honestly, with these types of movies, I always prefer the second watch. It's invigorating trying to spot all the little clues, and you can see the character's motivations so differently."

"Mainly because so many people haven't seen it in the first place, and I think it's one of Nic Cage's finest performances."

"I've watched it countless times and I appreciate it more and more every time. My dad is a person who watches a movie once and usually never watches it again, but The Great Escape is one he can watch over and over. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it ."

"It became one of my favourite movies with the rewatch. The scenes flip a lot, so it's confusing the first time around. But after a second watch, so many more things make no sense!"

"After seeing the ending, you gotta go back and see what you missed."

"When you see how it ends, you have to rewatch to try and spot all the clues."

"I avoid tom cruise at all costs but I loved this movie after I understood what was going on. It also has an amazing soundtrack"

—kristig3

"I mean, I loved it from the first moment, but there is so much to take in and figure out, it definitely needs a rewatch, or ten."

—alicep4f5640555

"It took me multiple watches to just sort of grasp it. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a great movie the first time around. It just gets better and better with each view. And the music is top-notch."

—scottrichardson

"After watching it the first time, I was a bit underwhelmed. I decided to give it another go with a friend and was absolutely blown away, the tension, the angst and the rawness of it really came through."

–bendzialdowski

"So I needed to watch it three times. The first time was confusing and not great, but once everything clicked after the second watch, the third viewing was amazing. Long day though…"
