Same here. Sixth Sense being the first that comes to mind, because it is very well done. If we expand to TV shows, LOST is great on a rewatch, as well as Breaking Bad. Not that there were huge plot twists in either as much as there is in movies, but somewhat knowing the end, you catch things on a rewatch that you didn't necessarily catch the first time through.

Like this manor?


Or maybe this one?

Nate Bargatze has a really good joke about how easy it was for men to be fooled by Sixth Sense because it's so believable for a woman to give her man the silent treatment.

I'll add The Truman Show. There's no twist ending, there's hints leading up to the reveal that you figure it out that he's on a show, but knowing that going in definitely changes how you watch it. Still good for a rewatch though.

Kinda feeling Braveheart as a top one. I think unexpected turns really rule this category but this one is so awesome and hard to appreciate as much even just the second time.

Signs


Underrated movie. Yes, subsequent viewings are different. But it's fun to watch again to see the "everything happens for a reason" cues throughout the film.

I think this film is quite inspirational/spiritual.

The Sixth Sense was re-watchable for different and darker reasons. I think Signs and Sixth Sense are his best movies, but Signs is much more re-watchable, and one of my favorite movies of all time.

It's a solid flick with solid performances by all of the actors involved.

Too bad Shamalamadingdong couldn't keep up the consistency.

What a brilliant construct for the movie. Similar to Signs, again. Very inspirational/spiritual and a very rewarding re-watch.

Never hurts to have Mila Kunis with her eyeliner on point, either.

Yeah. Whoever said the prestige is a bad call. That's a really good rewatch

Oh I agree. But the first time I watched it and learned he was totally blind, I was like WTF!!!!! at the end. The shear thought of his skill and to go back to the beginning and realize he hit that cat with his bow! GTFO!!! Total bad arse movie still! But my jaw hit the floor after the 1st watch!

How about "Secret Window" with Johnny Depp playing Mort Raney opposite John Turturro playing Shooter and accusing him of plagiarism over a short story he published.

Decent little plot twist along the way.
