Then when I rewatch the film I am seeing things from a slightly different perspective and it can lead to a better appreciation second time around as I'm able to look out for things I may not have noticed the first time around. Birdman is a recent example where the second time around was a completely different experience as I had more understanding about the techniques they were using to shoot the film.
Also another really good reason to re-watch movies. My post focused mostly on comedies, but more complex films definitely benefit from re-watches for this reason. You and I are definitely on the same page on this one.
