However most movies do not deserve full attention. Only a handful are
good enough to hold your attention throughout.
Kill Bill is one of them - I never tire watching both volumes. So is
Road Warrior, Predator, Commando, Blue Velvet and some others.
Then there's the space dramas: Babylon 5, Farscape, Battlestar
Galactica, Stargate, Outer Limits. They put Star Trek to shame,
although I did manage to sit thru ST Voyager three times on TV.
And despite what the critics said about Lynch's Dune, I watched it
over 30 times. And The Matrix - at least 20 times.
BTW, some more watch over and over comedies: Blazing Saddles, History
of the World. Ren & Stimpie get honorable mention.

you were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air,
and like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capped
towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great
globe itself, yea, and all that it inherits, has dissolved,
and like this insubstantial pageant faded, leaves not a rack
behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little
life is rounded with a sleep.
