20 Most Rewatchable Movies Of The 21st Century

5. Superbad (2007)

Sony Pictures

Seth Rogen and Bill Hader's man child cops. Some monumental penis jokes. McLovin. Those are just three reasons why Superbad is so endlessly watchable. And for some people, that's all they need to watch Greg Mottola's raucous comedy again and again. For the rest of us, it's also a time machine back to our ridiculous adolescence, a believable portrait of high school life, when illegally bagging alcohol and losing your virginity were two very big deals.

Part of Superbad's authenticity comes from the fact that Rogen and co-writer Evan Goldberg wrote the script when they were still teenagers, hence why the dialogue is so accurately foul-mouthed and sex-obsessed. Which isn't to say the film is some throwaway ancestor of Porky's; Superbad is warmer than most comedies by being fundamentally about friendship, with Jonah Hill and Michael Cera's two in-between losers bickering and binging their way through their final days and nights of high school.

Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
