"Full Metal..." for sure. I think I get a bit more outta than most due to my background. Sometimes wish I didn't, but still get more stuff thrown at me the next time around.

Under The Skin (2014)
I find it totally captivating. Excellent soundtrack too; very meditative.

I agree with so many, particularly:
Dr. Zhivago
Dr. Strangelove
Apollo 13
Young Frankenstein
Pulp Fiction
One movie I'd HAVE to see again to get ANYTHING out of it was Fatso. If it weren't the first half of a double-feature, I'd have walked out.
A couple of films that I've only seen once but am certain would be worth another look:
The Man Who Fell To Earth
My Dinner With Andre
Lastly, I'll add two of my favorite musicals:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
South Park
And leave y'all with a snippet from The Life of Brian...
Dr. Zhivago
Dr. Strangelove
Apollo 13
Young Frankenstein
Pulp Fiction

There's yet another WWII movie about the Japanese jungle war camps that makes "Bridge On the River Quai" seem like a picnic in comparison.
I've watched this movie several times, and seem to get yet another message from this production on the struggle that Allied prisoners had to endure and how they attempted to survive the inhumane treatment that they suffered at the hands of the Japanese guards. The movie kinda gives both sides of the internment, and you can even begin to appreciate why and how the soldiers (Japanese) who had to look after these places were there because of some past failings or negative outlook on the war.
Robert Carlyle and Kiefer Sutherland are in it, but the latter is in more of a cameo role.
It's a powerful movie with many messages that are present in its production. After watching it, you will prob end up in a discussion if watched with another.
I'd advise viewing the info/documentary portion BEFORE you watch the movie itself. I doesn't take it away from the plot, but instead gives you a background in "Bushido", which helps you to understand the oriental mind set of the Japanese military and how they viewed the world.
This is one of the better war movies I've taken in, dealing with this aspect of the Pacific Front of WWII. Even taking it in more than once will make you appreciate the sacrifices and the different details that come out second time around.
The movie is based on true events..."To End All Wars" (2001)
