The trouble with removing a crap film is that you might accidentally watch it again, so I’ll have to go for empire strikes back coz the vader twist for the first time would be crazy

A Serbian Film
Earthlings. I won't link to it here. I got through 15 minutes of it before I had to stop.
I'd go with Back To The Future. Cozy and fun.
Gasper Noe's IRREVERSIBLE. It's brilliant and amazing and so very traumatic. But in more ways than I expected.
The Gift, starring Jason Bateman.
The movie itself is fairly well made, albeit low budget af because it's a Netflix movie. The problem is the plot.
spoiler
A kid that Jason Bateman's character used to bully in high school grows up and becomes a terrifying stalker out to get revenge. Jason Bateman's wife at first is terrified, but then leaves him after it's revealed he used to be a bully. Because THAT'S what you should focus on right? You should definitely be concerned with the type of person "someone who wants to kill you" says your husband used to be 30 years ago. Not the "someone who wants to kill you" person. Nope. They're alright.
mother!
That movie fucked me up. I've seen some shit on the Internet and thought I was pretty calloused to graphic, depraved brutality. The ending of that movie is something I'll never forget.
I was warned that the end was intense and read the synopsis because I was curious. Even with the spoilers I wasn't ready for it.
I'd like to forget it, but not beyond "this was an extremely well made and moving movie. Never watch it."
Mother! has been on my watch list for years and this comment might be what pushes me to watch it tonight. Without giving any spoilers, does it have any scenes if sexual violence or rape?

Star wars sequels
Knives Out. I love watching every little detail of that movie, now I could do it all over again for the first time and find the same details again with additional rewatches.

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn't ever had the same impact on repeat watches.
With a lot of other "plot twist" movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn't really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.
