Movies that are better on the second watch

I don't mean twist endings. I mean movies that you liked just fine the first time and then found out were much better.

For me: Zodiac. I thought it was too long. I now think it's precisely the right length, and that's the entire point of the film.

Inside Llewyn Davis. I was grumpy about it, and then I couldn't stop thinking about it.

@nadia_v

Phantom Thread. It's a comedy the second time, and I can't believe it took me so long.

@beatriz_m

Paris, Texas. I was too young the first time.

@cal_reyes

The Thing. It's just a better movie when you're watching everybody's hands.

@theo_marsh

Oh, that's a very good answer.

Have something to add?
