Mine would be Annihilation while very stoned.

You’ll love the book if you liked the movie.
Interstellar
Lord of the rings The lure awe and wonder of the first watch when I was young
A high that just cant be beat
How to Train Your Dragon
I still get that knot on my throat in the first flight sequence, that movie is perfect for me. I want to feel it like it was the first time.
Jurassic Park
The Matrix
Saw it in the theatre knowing nothing about it other than that the poster looked fun.
Was not expecting a philosophical mind fuck.
Same, the “what is the Matrix” marketing was so mysterious and effective.
Just rewatched the matrix a few days ago. I swear I forget all the main details until I watch it every 6 years or so haha. It’s good, some effects are really showing their age now though.
Harry Potter. All of them. I’m currently reading the books, and I know that when I’m done I’m going to be so disappointed that there’s nothing left to experience the first time.
If you haven’t listened to Jim Dale’s audiobook version, it’s a great way to have a third way of revisiting that story!
Hmm, that’s a great option. Although, I’m not a big audiobook/podcast fan because I feel I need to concentrate on it to understand what’s going on, and that’s not particularly useful when driving/working/etc, but I may give it a shot in the future!
Recently rewatched all these. They’re so good.
I’d redo breaking bad.
Your Name
Predestination
For me, it would be Heat. It was released before people really had the internet, so I had no idea about the movie and just wandered past an afternoon showing with a friend, thinking well why not, let’s give it a shot.
Came out wanting to immediately see it again.
Memento
Saving Private Ryan or The Shawshank Redemption.
Both outstanding movies and heavy hitters as far as the visuals and storyline go. Getting to experience the landing in France, the terror of the knife fight, the satisfaction as the warden and Hadley got their comeuppance… yeah, that would be fantastic to experience again.
Vanilla Sky. That movie is a bizarre trip even when you do know what’s going on. But when you don’t, it’s a positively surreal experience.
Primer
Cube
The matrix
Hackers
To kill a mockingbird
So many…
Do people actually enjoy Primer?
Yes.
It is a really cool take on time travel, really mind bending on the first watch. Once you have seen it a few times and understand the way things work, it kind of loses some of the entertainment value.
I think the issue for me is twofold: a) I couldn’t connect with the characters-they felt like Asimov plot devices for carrying the story forward and b) too much emphasis on the time traveling paradox riddle. What I mean by the latter was that watching the movie felt more like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube but through charts and diagrams. I get that some people enjoy that kind of stuff but I prefer having a solid story line. But I watched it a long time ago, maybe I need to rewatch it with fresh eyes.
I haven’t seen hackers. How is it?
Great!
The early over the top hacker aesthetic, the ridiculous adversarial hacker battle, the complete misunderstanding of what hacking actually involved (the world has changed). It is all awesome.
Some of the stuff they got right is also cool, the social engineering is still a thing.
Also because of my age when it came out (1995)…I would have seen it in 96/97, I was in my late teens.
Trainspotting
