After a TBI my short-term memory kept resetting every 15 mins or so for a couple of days. Because I found that quite distressing my then-girlfriends put on The Fifth Element on repeat and took shifts watching me.
It worked well, because I'd already seen it so many times that it didn't matter when I reset I could just enjoy the bit I was there for and not think about why I didn't remember stuff.
I still watch it every now and then
They should have put Memento on for you.

Never seen it, so it would provably be the worst possible choice!

Braid (dir by Mitzi Peirone)
This is probably my favourite film of the last decade, it's beautifully shot, written and directed, and the three lead actresses are fantastic.
Imo Braid is endlessly rewatchable too as it never fully explains what's actually going on, or what is fully real, and with each rewatch you notice new things and kinda start to piece more of the story together.

Hot Fuzz
All of the Cornetto extended trilogy imo.
-
The boondock saints (the sequel is shit, ignore that)
The boondock saints
I've been meaning to watch this since it was referenced in Helsing Ultimate Abridged like 15 years ago, glad to hear someone say it's good!

Glengarry Glen Ross
It's the only movie where I watched it was was like "shit, I could watch it again right away". And I did. And again it was great. After that I rewatched it many times. The acting is just sooooo good it never gets boring. I think Spacey has the weakest performance there and it says a lot if two Academy Award winning actor looks average compared to his castmates.

it's about someone who can't make long term memories. The scenes are put together in basically backwards order and people tend to leave their first viewing confused

Chicaga!

Yeah, I've heard of it and understood the premise, but decided not to watch it

Being There
Grandma's Boy
Others have added many of the same that I would also, so I'll keep to just these two. They are two of my favorites. One serious/semi-serious, one comedy. There's something special about Being There for me. Maybe it's that I consider myself a simpleton like Peter Seller's character, I don't know. Grandma's Boy, with its theme of video games and weed smoking, is also right up my alley! Too funny!
Being There is so great. Hardly anyone I know when I bring it up has even heard of it.

If you liked 'Knives Out' watch "The Last of Shelia"
The director says that this movie was the original inspiration; it's got twists you'll never see coming.

"Marathon Man" It was written by the author of "The Princess Bride" and was designed to need rewatching. A minor character in one scene shows up halfway through the story. A casual conversation gives away an entirely new slant on two characters.
"Big Trouble In Little China." I can't believe I'm the first to mention this one. Completely stupid on every level, yet it works perfectly.

Bookmarked, thanks!
