For me, that's a hard question. Most movies that I like I rarely tire of
watching. I can almost always find something new.
Just like reading a book over and over.

I think that I mentioned earlier it took me a while to really "like" District
9. I picked up on the commentary, that really didn't bother me. It wasn't
hammering at it, it was a natural part of the flow of the story.
I still haven't really figured out why it took so long for me to like it. I was
leaning for a while that it looked like one of those pseudo-documentary type
films, which I like only slightly better than the "found footage" style, which
I can't stand. But it really isn't that style. So maybe it's just that was my
initial impression, and it biased me.
