Jaws is still relevant and still a very watchable movie... I’ve seen it several dozens of times and that’s what makes it a classic in my books. I’ve seen hundreds of movies once, and then never ever watched them again.

Then there are any movies by the Cohen brothers, Tarantino, Spielberg, Scorsese, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Wilder or Capra that I will watch over and over and over again.

Most of the movies made today are once and done. Recent exceptions... ‘Inception’ a fascinating movie by Christopher Nolan, who also directed ‘Oppenheimer’ (once is enough) and ‘Dunkirk’ (once is enough). And ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and the ‘The Hurt Locker’ both rewatchable by Kathryn Bigelow.

Arrival (science fiction movie of 2016) is amazing after the second view.

With one view there is a lot that is missed.

It was based on the classic Ted Chiang short story “The Story of Your Life”.

The rewatchable movies? We see them recurring on cable on TNT, TBS, IFC, AMC, FXM, BBC, Sundance, GRIT, Paramount, INSP, the Movies! Channel and othere. Occasionally on network TV.

No need to list them, we see them all the time. The movies chosen by the viewers.
