I had a lot of fun trying to look for more surveillance with each watch through of The Truman Show.
Tenet. I got the story the first time, but there are so many little details in it...
The Grand Budapest Hotel.
If we're counting musicals then Hadestown. The lyrics have so many moments of for-shadowing and calling back, it's beautiful. There was a pro-shot filmed earlier this year, hopefully they'll release it soon 🤞
Stay - great acting by Ewan Mcgreger, Ryan Gosling and Naomi watts. Super trippy, hard to understand completely in first tries and a great watch.
Tenet
I'm as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It's hard to put into words, really. At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to "feel" it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it's such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they "did" already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the "window in the time switching room" explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo. I'm absolutely positively confused, and I love it.
Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he's thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?
Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)...

I really don't watch very much movie so I probably have the saddest comment of all. But on my fourth watching of office space I noticed that there's a misspelling on the jump to conclusions mat, it should say lose a turn not loose a turn.
You know, I doubt I've seen any movie over 10 times, at least not since I was a kid watching the same vhs over and over. But I've probably seen office space more than any other and I've definitely never noticed that. Good eye.
"Perfect Blue" by Satoshi Kon. Watching it dubbed multiple times so I notice the visuals. Also the changes between the sub and dub can bring more understanding.

"Marathon Man."
I think it was my fifth viewing that I realized a character from the beginning shows up briefly in the middle.
Seen this once, but I think there is no argument to be made about watching it again.
Star Wars OT and PT
Schuh des Manitu, (T)Raumschiff Suprise,
Victoria (2015) does that for me. Maybe it's because the whole movie is recorded in a single take, but it holds my attention in a way most others don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_(2015_film)
By the end of the film I'm always so shocked by how things have developed over the last few hours. Seeing the light change into morning is very sobering
I know what you mean. I feel like I’ve lived through an experience. Actually, I hadn’t thought of the light until you said it just now. They did time it perfectly to include that. I must watch it again!
Princess Bride
Strictly Ballroom
Paul
LOTR
Longlegs was deffo one of those films where you get a better understanding of it the more times you watch
I've never heard of any of the movies you mentioned...
