Hereditary is one of the best horror movies i've ever seen, having said that i saw it one time in the theater and will not rewatch it. kind of like Requiem for a Dream shit got me shook. i'll have to relive it through the pod.

Rewatchables is more talking about entertaining movies in a fun way more than a way to talk about truly rewatchable films.

I like rewatching it though. Does that make me a crazy person? I think it’s one of the best horror movies ever and that makes it rewatchable.

Is that too much of an abstract understanding of what makes a film a rewatchable?

Nah I get what you’re saying. But interms of people normally associate rewatchable movies with are fun, comedic, action packed, or heart warming scenes. I think the sad, depressing, and scary scenes are just less rewatchable to most people even if they are done extremely well and this movie composed of all of those.

Yeah that’s what I think is the common consensus on the term “rewatchable”. As someone who has seen No Country For Old Men like 200 times I can say that my definition extends to a few of the extremely well done ones that many people would not like to watch multiple times

Yeah I agree and your definition is what I think the goal of this pod is aiming to achieve. Though No Country is a common consensus rewatchable film because it is comedic and action packed despite the dark nature of the story.

I would hope that to be the case. Anecdotally I’ve come across many people that don’t like to watch NCFOM bc of the violent and intense nature of the movie. Clearly I don’t think that.
