Star trek VI is Undiscovered Country, but it is a good movie. Unless you mean Star Trek IV The Voyage Home which is personally my favorite Star Trek movie of them all.

Sneakers (1992). Plot makes me laugh every time. Stellar performances by all actors.

Kung FU Panda, funny, humor for all ages and a moral lesson that we all need to have really sunk in.

Some of my favourite rewatchables are:

Margin Call, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wallstreet, Nobody, Moneyball, The gentlemen, Layercake, Heat, The Running Man, Roadhouse.

BTW, if you've not heard of it, The Rewatchables is a great podcast where a group of guys talk about and critic movies they consider rewatchables. If you're interested, listen to episode 1. The list of shows would be a pretty good answer to your question but this list is off the top of my head.

of Wallstreet, Nobody

How come? I was unimpressed by this movie despite it gaining a cult following.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was one of the cases where the movie was better than the book it was based on

Chinatown

L. A. Confidential

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe not worth rewatching every night/weekend, but from time to time I absolutely love rewatching Legend of Hei.

I don't remember where, but I remember some people online kinda comparing it as something like a Chinese Studio Ghibli film, which in a way is partially true since it has a magical feel to it.

I got a DVD/Blueray set through Shout! Factory and do not regret the purchase, personally.
