Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn’t ever had the same impact on repeat watches.
With a lot of other “plot twist” movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn’t really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.
I think a good plot twist movie is worth watching twice, once to experince it blind and another to see the change in motivation for characters knowing the plot twist
Usually yeah, at least twice, but with Fight Club you can’t even get that since the two central characters were so… divided.
At best you get to re-contextualize the reactions of the characters around them, but that alone was never enough for me, so that’s why this is my pick.
I would also pick fight club, even though I completely 100% disagree with your argument.
I had so much fun watching this film multiple times and seeing new stuff.
Granted Fight Club is not a movie that I watched analyizingly in my armchair but rather a movie that I watched beerdrinkingly with my buddies.
But I think that is a better way to watch it anyway.
