Most/Least Rewatchable Flicks

Recommended Posts

Loads and loads of countdowns recently, but when you factor in time to the equation of top lists, you find that there are a lot more movies to watch than there is time to. That is of course a fairly obvious perception, but at the same time, how good is a movie, really, if it cannot hold up on second viewing. There's always that magic the first time you see a movie unfold on the screen, but are movies meant to just be seen once? 

 

It's sad that we can't ever experience watching something again, but that's life. So, what makes your lists? Obviously you can't include movies you've only seen once. Perceived rewatchability means nothing until a film is actually rewatched. It's much easier to determine a least rewatchable list, since you really only have to see it a second time and have it fail to live up to expectations to include it immediately.

 

List in progress. (Few films viewed more than twice, and not very recently)

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 1

2. Contagion

would never have guessed :P

 

I adore that movie. IMO one of the greatest action flicks of all time. And the comedy in that is pure gold.

 

I've watched it countless times, and I'm waiting for the blu-ray so I can watch it in true 1080p.

Listing films that I dislike that are rewatchable is pointless so here are some films that I like that I don't feel hold up as well on multiple viewings:

The Dark Knight ( granted I've seen it way too many times )

Iron Man

Bug's Life

Despicable Me 2

The Lego Movie
