Classic films that are so well-paced you could watch them over and over again?

There are two of these that immediately spring to mind: Jaws and The Silence of the Lambs. Both films utilize their runtimes to perfection and no moment or scene feels excessive or unnecessary. Because of this I can watch these movies over and over again and not get bored.

For some reason, The Prestige comes to mind as this kind of movie.

If ~15 yo is classic The Social Network is one of the best paced movies ever made.

Would add Wall Street.
Set-up is concise, short and sweet to get the lay of the land, then Bud bags the Elephant and away we go. Movie never derails from its linear focus....though the casting of Hannah doesn't work but there's little screen time so the pace isn't affected.
