I watched Jackie Brown for the first time in years and I don't remember enjoying it as much the first time around. Great cast, soundtrack and can't go wrong with Tarantino. Also didn't realize that it's based off an Elmore Leonard book.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Lots of complexity and clues you would never pick up on 1st viewing. Everything holds up too. Also find that movies with great soundtracks stand the test of time as well.

Some others like Donnie Darko, Memento, Shutter Island also fit the bill. The more you watch them the more you discover. Also some stuff goes over your head depending on your age.

Some comedies like the 21 Jump Street series are still amazing and have gotten better 10+ years later have gotten better for me too.

2001. It gets better with every viewing. Apocalypse Now is the same way.

The gladiator thread reminded me how good that movie actually is.

The acting is great, the plot is original and the score is amazing.

The movie came out 20 years ago and it's better than 99% of the movies being released nowadays.

Someone would have to have some kind of super power to get it made today.

Once upon a time in Hollywood. Gets better every time I watch it. They captured the setting beautifully.

The Shining.

Every time I watch it, there's always some new Kubrick mindfrick Easter egg that I notice.

I’ve been watching Mel Brooks movies my whole life and I think I get Another layer of comedy every decade.

It’s all slapstick as a little kid and then you more and more of the innuendo

I also love Wes Anderson movies because he packs so many little details in. There is a scene in life aquatic where Steve and Ned do a hands in on the shite, and maybe the 20th time I watched The movie my brother pointed out that you can see Klaus way in the distance joining in on his own.

Inglourious Basterds or The Prestige were the first 2 off the top of my head.
