To some people, there are those movies that come along every time they show up on demand, while channel surfing, or with some friends that you just can't help but watch again. This effect is very rare and brings on a question of what makes them so rewatchable? Today we talk about this and as always, we wanna know some of your favorites as we watch over and over again our most rewatchable films.

Not knowing what a person has gone through until you walk a mile in their shoes is a very poetic phrase for this film. At three separate points in a young man's life we follow Chiron as he goes through life as first "Little", then "Chiron" and finally "Black". In a film that paints a scary yet beautiful story of a boy struggling with bullying, poverty, and his sexuality you can't help but to want the best for him and to see him overcome all the hardships no matter what it takes. A top A24 film to check out if you haven't already because "it can't be worse out here"

The idea of filming a movie in one take is the goal for most directors but is next to impossible to actually accomplish. When all else fails there is "movie magic" and splicing scenes together is the best option to do so. That being said, there are those moments in film that do this better than others and that is what we are here to discuss. As always we wanna know some of your favorites as we cut and splice together so great editing in films.   

Did you ever think there would be a film that could be so crude with farts and masturbation talk yet still be so heartwarming and meaningful? This movie somehow does this as Hank is stranded on an island and comes across a dead body named Manny who has interesting powers. A film that teaches you to be yourself and not apologize for how you think or feel. The downside, however, is the turn this film takes at the end that changes the entire mood. That being said it is still worth the watch to see something incredibly unique, and that's not "bad talking"

Do you ever get that feeling while watching a movie that you've seen it somewhere before? Better yet a film that seems really similar to this that may have just changed a few things here and there? With the amount of film out nowadays it's hard to think anything is truly original and with that comes some films that feel one and the same. As always we wanna know some that you feel are similar as we talk about movies that feel the same. 

Becoming a professional dancer is hard enough without witches attempting to steal your body. Well, that's exactly what happens to Suzy as she is caught in a power struggle between two owners of a dance studio that are also powerful witches. A slow burn of a film that knows just the right times to ramp up and give you horror with a bleak color scheme and bleaker setting. This film has a lot of tricks up its sleeve as it reminds you that "there is more to this building than what you can see"

Death is inevitable in this world and in the case of film, there's no easy way around it. However, there are a few ways that you can make an impact when it comes to death in films, and deciding to show it or not can create a whole mood or convey emotion like none other. As always we wanna know some situations in movies you think works better as we tell you about them or decide to show you instead of the power of offscreen vs onscreen deaths in films.

Once you realize the world is a joke it really is that easy to be a comedian. After vigilantes are outlawed, a few remaining heroes band together to solve who has murdered one of their own while also trying to stop armageddon from occurring between nations. This is Zack Snyder at his absolute best, providing a different kind of superhero film that needed a change drastically in this time frame. From the character development, all the way to the overall storytelling of this film, this was something special in a time we didn't know we needed it, and it proves that the times they are a-changin'.

"Finish-out strong" is a term that comes to mind when you think of how films should end, either something satisfying or something ambiguous to leave you thinking. The problem sometimes is that you can have a film that is compelling but falls flat on its face at the end. It's a rare occurrence but there are those times and with that, we wanna know some of your choices as we start out strong and fumble at the end with good movies but with bad endings. 

The grieving process is hard enough when you lose a loved one but it could become terrifying when there may be an evil entity in your home. Beth struggles to accept her husband's suicide when she travels down a rabbit hole of what drove him to it. This film really excels when it comes to playing on insecurities, utilizing negative space and optical illusion, and creating a story that leaves you wondering the entire time. If you haven't seen this one it's definitely a good time to check it, but remember to trick it and don't listen to it.
