Groundhog Day
The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

Idiocracy
There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!
I liked it a long time ago, but last time I watched it I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. The eugenics annoys me far more than it used to, and most of the humor is just crass and doesn't have a meaning. They aren't using it to say anything larger.
Meanwhile the themes of the movie are anti-capitalist (sort of, without the philosophy of considering why it causes issues) and anti-populist. It has something to say, but I feel like they're far too careful to say it. Its got a veil of critique, but without wanting to make too many waves, because it's still a big budget capitalist movie at the end of the day.
I feel like it makes a lot of people feel smug and turns them into reactionary anti-establishment conspiracy theorists, because it only says "this is bad and stupid" but doesn't give you anywhere to go with that.

Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.
Lord of the Rings
Die Hard
I don't know about never, but I've watched numerous times:
- Cyrano de Bergerac, 90s version with Depardieu (I know he's a cunt, but brilliant in this movie)
- La Haine
- The Dinner Game (Le Dîner de Cons)
- The City of Fear (La Cité de la Peur)
- Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra
- The beat that my heart skipped (De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté)
- Lost in Translation
- Barry Lyndon
- Minority Report
- The Fifth Element
- Matrix
Clue.
Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.

Liar, liar.
Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

For me it's The Matrix.
I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.
I know they say it has nothing to do with them and their transitioning... but nothing can change my mind on how the whole movie can be seen as a struggle to choose who you really are...
