10 Genius Ways Movies Made You Rewatch Them

5. To Find Every Easter Egg - Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

Easter eggs are extremely common in any modern franchise movie, because there are few things fans love more than keeping their eyes peeled for dozens, perhaps even hundreds of nods - visual and otherwise - to the wider IP. For some, fan service is one of the big reasons to buy a film when it hits home video.

On that front, there's simply no greater example of this in modern times than Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - an animated masterpiece of a superhero movie that, for all of its visual splendour worth seeing on the biggest screen possible, also feels tailor-made for the freeze-frame treatment at home,

Almost every single shot of Across the Spider-Verse has a neat stylistic detail or reference to wider Spider-Man lore for fans to fixate on. And while most of them will breathlessly rush past you on an initial viewing, on repeat watches you can pause at will and seek out every single detail packed within a given frame.
