I think rewatchability for a movie is like cult status. You can't set out to make a cult/rewatchchable movie but you could stumble into one.
I wouldn't go that far. There are plenty of movies that you can rewatch and simply enjoy the journey, story, etc.
*I think I misread your comment.
Id say a big thing for me personally is finding those little details the writers and directors add in that you really only see upon seeing a second, third, or ninth viewing of a film.
Same goes for shows with long overarching stories that have clever details seasons prior.
That's okay.
Relevant to the topic some movies I think are infinitely researchable would be the original two Ghostbusters movies, Clue, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jurassic Park. Couldn't think of any modern movies off the top of my head.
Probably not in the way you mean. There are certainly movies that benefit from watching again, whether to fully understand what is going on - often involved convoluted plots or a twist that adds new context to all the scenes, or because each individual shot/scene has so much going on that you're always catching some new detail. And I do think those aspects are mostly intentional.
I’m sure they do. It probably depends on the director’s vision. There are lists of the opposite people make, “movies you’ll only ever watch once”
