American Psycho for me. I had a lot of questions after watching it for the first time. It doesn't have what I'd call a "satisfying" conclusion, but that's what makes the movie what it is. It's kind of a mindfuck, and the subtle humour in it is just top notch.

Not a movie, but bojack horse man. On the first watch it all just seems like shitty bojack. After learning all the back story its more like, oh poor bojack.
It's mostly shitty Bojack. Sure he had trauma and depression, but he always made the choice to continue the self destructive cycle.
Groundhog Day. It gets better with subsequent watches.
Watching Groundhog Day once is already like watching Groundhog Day five times
You can say that again
Bing!
You can say that again
Satohi Kon's "Paprika" is still my favourite movie, and there is a lot to discover and reflect on, on second and third and umpteenth watches.

Mulholland Drive. I get... angry at myself when i don't understand a film that i know has a hidden meaning i can't grasp so i watched it 4 times until i finally understood it. Now i am complete
My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts' character's masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though ๐ฌ
Basically every Lynch movie.

L.A. Confidential
There are multiple investigations/cases and multiple character arcs, and it all comes together so beautifully. The [REDACTED] reveal is amazing.
Edited to remove potential spoiler.
Deja Vu with Denzel Washington and Jim Cavisal or however you spell it. Terrorist murder mystery with a bit of a look into the past.
BladeRunner: 2049 gets better and better with every viewing. Even more so if you've read Pale Fire, which is referenced a few times in the movie. A masterpiece in every way.
Primer. Gotta watch that one a dozen times and still not understand it fully.
