Why do we keep returning to some films? We might have an answer.
Some movies can be rewatched over and over again. No matter how you feel, what you’re doing, or what time of day it is, these films are the type that you put on for the sake of a good time. Think of these films as your comfort movies.
But what makes a movie rewatchable? There are a few factors that make us return to a movie no matter how many times we’ve watched it. Pentex Productions believes six factors make a movie rewatchable: story, humor, quotability, compelling characters, pacing, and a satisfying ending.
There may be a lot of crossover between what makes a film good and what makes a film rewatchable, but they are not the same thing. Other factors excluded while considering what makes a film rewatchable are nostalgia and personal opinion. While I have my own personal reasons to watch Twilight: New Moon for the umpteenth time, it is not universally a rewatchable movie.
