Repeat Performances
And some films simply put you in a good mood no matter how many times you watch them.
50. Avengers Assemble (2012)
Why It's Rewatchable: Joss Whedon brings a lifetime's experience in tickling fanboy nerves by ensuring a formula that is one-third character comedy to two-thirds kick-ass.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Hulk vs Loki.
49. Face/Off (1997)
Why It's Rewatchable: The absolute joy of watching two of Hollywood's hammiest, most OTT actors playing each other.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Woo unleashes carnage in a gangster hideout, and then gets all sentimental by playing Somewhere Over The Rainbow over the top.
48. The Sixth Sense (1999)
Why It's Rewatchable: First time, to witness a multitude of 'aha' moments; nowadays, to ponder where it all went wrong subsequently for Shyamalan.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Bruce's wife drops a wedding ring, and everything clicks.
47. Starship Troopers (1997)
Why It's Rewatchable: The guiltiest of guilty pleasures, as Verhoeven has us rooting for the Fascists. Want to know more?
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Yeah, you're saying 'nuke the bugs,' but why have you paused the DVD on the shower scene?
46. Clueless (1995)
Why It's Rewatchable: The dialogue's witty invented slang, which raises the IQ of the chick-flick several notches above the norm.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Cher goes soul searching or, as most people would call it, retail therapy.
45. Point Break (1991)
Why It's Rewatchable: As one character puts it, it's "young, dumb and full of cum," revelling in its have cake / eat cake attitude to the clichs of the action genre.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: The heart-pumping Steadicam foot chase, rendered more unusual because the escapee is wearing a Ronald Reagan mask.
44. Donnie Darko (2001)
Why It's Rewatchable: A film that takes several goes to properly understand, even without the pleasure of the genre mash-up between 1980s teen movie and hardcore sci-fi.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: The moving, bravura Mad World-accompanied montage of the characters.
43. The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966)
Why It's Rewatchable: A compendium of great set-pieces, tenuously linked by Clint's cool and the wolfish wit of Eli Wallach's disreputable Tuco.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: The climactic triangular showdown in a graveyard, all extreme close-ups of suspicious eyes and Morricone's music going crazy.
42. The Third Man (1949)
Why It's Rewatchable: Thanks to its noir lighting, Orson Welles' iconic presence and that slithery zither soundtrack, this is cinematic style to luxuriate in.
If You Only Rewatch One Scene: Welles' self-penned 'cuckoo clock' speech, the most poetic justification of evil in the movies.
