Rewatchables
my list of lesser-discussed rewatchable films
I enjoy listening to a variety of podcasts and shows that delve into film discussions, with some favorites like The Rewatchables, Film Sack, Red Letter Media, and Every Frame a Painting. While I find their takes on classic films engaging, I’ve noticed that some of my personal favorite movies rarely get mentioned. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of films I consider rewatchable, but that don’t often make it into popular discussions.
