100%

Tenet was the first movie since childhood where I immediately rewatched it upon my initial viewing.

The Shining. There's no way you're taking all of that in after one viewing.

Not necessarily needed to understand it, but Hot Fuzz has so many clever gags throughout the movie that you almost always pick up something new on multiple viewings.

I would say every movie I watch. I miss some stuff, I misunderstand some stuff, and I forget stuff. Every time I do a second watch soon after a first watch, I see all sorts of stuff I missed or just forgot from the first viewing.

This could apply to even seemingly simple, straightforward movies like horror movies, where there might be frequent call-outs to previous work or homages to others' work. I almost always get a more complete picture of what I watched when I read or watch a review from a knowledgeable movie reviewer.

Kubric and Aronofsky definitely fall into this category.

There’s Something About Mary is very similar. There are no wasted lines or moments.
