Since then, cinema has reached a point, more than once or twice, from which it seemed there was only one way - down… but invariably entered a new round of popularity. But as for rewatching movies - well, the critic of the early 20th century simply didn’t suspect that in the future there would be VHS, discs and streaming services. And that we’d rewatch our favorite films not even several, but dozens of times. And then share our impressions online - like, for example, in thisviral thread.

Shawshank redemption.
5th element.
LOTR part 1,2 and 3 over 30 times combined.
Well, indeed, almost each of us has a couple of films in our hearts that we’ve watched a dozen times in our lives - and will watch the same number of times in the future. Moreover, these movies do not necessarily have to be Oscar winners or hit the box office. Often it’s even the other way around. For example,The Big Lebowskialmost failedat the box office, grossing $17M in the U.S. with a budget of $15M - but the audience’s reaction over time made it a cult classic.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The mummy .
It is probably symbolic that in the selection that we present to your attention today, only four movies were awarded the Oscar as the best film of the year (althoughThe Lord of the Ringshas enough statuettes en masse for nearly half the list, but these are all details…), so popular opinion often doesn’t coincide with the viewpoints of the Academy members. The mechanism for the emergence ofpopular adorationis so unexpected and unpredictable that it’s hardly possible to predict the iconic status of any particular movie.
Shrek.
Jurassic Park.
Die Hard.
“Why do we spend so much time with stories we already know?” Robert N. Kraft, Ph.D., writes in hisdedicated articleon Psychology Today. “The most obvious explanation for rewatching a movie, a series, or an episode is that we enjoy it. And the same reasons we enjoyed a show the first time are still there when we watch it again.“The researchers Cristel A. Russell and Sidney J. Levy intheir studyclaim that “reconsuming can be an extraordinary experience, filled with the emotional luxury of delight, novel sensations, and intellectual insight.” Or maybe the reason is that most of the films presented in this collection belong precisely tothat erawhen there was not so much varied content around us?After all, the less content, the more unique it is. Perhaps the best example of this is football, with its seventeen regular season games, where each game is actually something special. Just agree, it’s hard to force yourself to re-watch a movie when there are thousands of films and shows available on Netflix orsimilar services!

Iron Man. It’s literally the inspiration and reason why I went to college and got an engineering degree. It’s a very special movie for me. Saw it as a kid opening night with my dad back in 2008, and it left a lasting impression one me that you can build anything you want and help people.
