Top 10 Movies That You Have To Watch Twice


oh now that makes sense
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 movies that
you have to watch twice just to clarify
we’re talking about the complex
mind-bending movies that you need to
re-watch to fully understand and
appreciate there’s sometimes a buggy how
many drivers does it buggy have please
be advised though we’ve removed some of
the major spoilers there may still be
some ahead mr. dirty number 10 the usual
suspects it was all the cops fault you
don’t put guys like that into a room
together kicking off our list is the
film that follows the interrogation of
Kevin Spacey as a small-time con man and
the lone survivor of a brutal massacre
were then given flashbacks and a story
presented by his unreliable narrator one
that tells the tale of a mythical crime
boss Kaiser Kaiser says a the second
viewing is completely different once
you’ve learned the truth behind Kaiser
Soze
number nine open your eyes
aka hibernatin loss oils next up is the
original Spanish film that was hastily
remade into the Tom Cruise vehicle
Vanilla Sky which also co-starred
Penelope Cruz do you wanna hear Jeff
Buckley or Vikki Carr here a handsome
man caught in the love triangle is
forced to have his face reconstructed
after a grisly accident since the twist
scene is woven into the narrative
seamlessly upon a second viewing you’ll
definitely be paying extra close
attention
one pocket cross he knows me number
eight Jacob’s Ladder a psychological
horror this one centers on a
shell-shocked Vietnam vet mourning the
loss of his child the hook here is that
he must also deal with severe
disassociation which has broken him from
reality this leads to his various
attempts to make sense of the delusions
and dreams he experiences as you may
have imagined this adds up to a film
that’s both hard to follow the first
time around the one that’s frightening
Lee hypnotic nonetheless number seven
Mulholland Drive next up is the
surrealist neo-noir
about an aspiring actress who befriends
an amnesiac there are several ways to
interpret this movie this is due to its
focus on elements that are seemingly
unconnected while never really letting
you make up your mind whether or not a
scene is real a dream or even some sort
of metaphor simply put there is no major
consensus to be found here especially in
the second half and that’s part of the
fun number six Fight Club you can never
really say enough about this WatchMojo
favorite perhaps that’s because it
inherently needs to be rewatched on the
surface it’s all about Norton as an
insomniac office worker who befriends a
charismatic soap making fist fighting
anarchist did you know a few mixed equal
parts of gasoline and frozen orange
juice concentrate you can make napalm
however once we learned the truth about
his new friend it’s time to hit rewind
and search for all those clues you
surely missed the answer mean why do
people think that I’m you
I think you know on top of it all
director David Fincher ads in subliminal
frames throughout the film expertly
blurring form with function everything’s
a copy of a copy of a copy
number-5 inception
leave it to Christopher Nolan to try as
hard as he can to lose the audience here
DiCaprio and company are hired to use
their experimental technology to enter
their targets dreams although the
initial concept is enough to make your
eyes cross this film heavily relies on
the concept of dreams within dreams
plays with the flow of time and then has
the cojones to leave you guessing at the
end but the top wobbled number four
Donnie Darko this supernatural flick is
a cult classic for a reason its plot
focuses on Jake Gyllenhaal’s Donnie
narrowly surviving a jet engine landing
in his bedroom he then goes down the
rabbit hole in a story about hypnosis
wormholes and alternate timelines
there’s even a creepy man-sized bunny
named Frank deliberately weird donnie
darko is also a delightful mind bender
you’re Stanley number three The Sixth
Sense
Ben speaking keep it in this brilliant
psychological horror were introduced to
a boy who can see dead people
and the dedicated child psychologist
that’s trying to help him if you’ve been
hiding under a rock for the last 15
years and you don’t know the twists
we won’t ruin it in this clip but
suffice to say that there are countless
hints about it throughout and it takes
multiple viewings to notice them all
either way after seeing the end you
won’t be able to watch it the same way
twice
number two primer in this film a group
of scientists working out of her garage
accidentally create a machine capable of
time travel but each timeline remains
totally distinct it would be an
understatement to say that said
interpretation of time travel was all
that straightforward I’m not gonna
pretend like I know anything okay about
paradoxes the result is a movie that is
so mind-bending and devilishly complex
that movie goers have created diagrams
just to try and grasp what they saw and
I can imagine no way and what’s just
thing would be considered anywhere
remotely close to say I know is I spent
six hours in there and I’m still alive
with so many great films to choose from
we had to draw a line somewhere so here
are a few honorable mentions
I don’t think the human mind is meant to
exist in two different whatever you call
that uh dimensions nice paycheck
you don’t remember me at all no we’ve
talked a bunch of times I’m sure we have
number one memento or what’s the last
thing you remember
anyway taking the top spot on our list
is the masterful film by The Dark Knight
and inception director Christopher Nolan
remember Sammy Janish a movie presented
in reverse order it confuses with a
protagonist that can’t create new
memories and who’s out to find out his
wife’s killer
I told me his name was Teddy don’t
believe his lies ultimately this
psychological neo noir thriller will
keep you guessing deciphering and
sorting out events long after your first
viewing and no watching it backwards
won’t help I’m chasing this guy
agree with our list which movie did you
have to re-watch to fully understand I
don’t know why for more thrilling top
