There are movies that have such a plot twist that so changes the complexion of the narrative that you cannot reproduce the ignorance you brought the original viewing. Ex. The Book of Eli

What are your favorite examples?

A recent notable: The Tenet

The Sixth Sense was the first to come to mind.
The Matrix was next.

Signs

And not all that much of a plot twist, but the fact it took everyone 5 fricking years to not figure out “Go in reverse” in Ready Player One counts. Almost walked out of the theater for that idiocy and shows that Spielberg does not remotely understand gaming or online culture.

Pretty much any early Nolan film.

The prestige
Memento
Inception

Also, the usual suspects.

You're basically asking for a list of movies with a twist ending.

After the first viewing, all The Usual Suspects is is a 90 minute bullshite marathon from Kevin Spacey.

Passion of the Christ, did not see that one coming.

ETA: If I could see any movie for the first time, when it came out, it would either be Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back or Psycho

The Hangover is one of my favorite first time movie theater experiences.


And while I still think it's funny after the first time, it's definitely not the same.

I actually enjoy having multiple watches of big plot twist movies because knowing the outcome allows me to see the genius in the making and hints I missed.

In regards to movies that are some of the greatest 1st watches and have huge drop offs, I’d say American Pie and Wedding Crashers were some of the only times in my life I cried so hard from laughing. Second watches weren’t horrible, but could never live up to that first viewing.

A Simple Favor was pretty much a single watch movie.
