20 Most Rewatchable Movies Of The 21st Century

16. Hidden (2005)

Easily the least feel good film on this list (Suicide! Psychological torture! Colonial oppression!), Michael Haneke's Hidden nonetheless warrants a place because it's a higher class of head-scratcher for any true film fan. In an age when the audience is too savvy to be duped by run-of-the-mill mystery thrillers, Haneke steps it up a notch and goes so meta it starts to hurt roughly an hour in.

As the couple being sent mysterious videos in the post, Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche are wonderfully unlikeable, too self-centred and pretentious to be truly sympathetic, but just cryptic enough to keep us gripped. Auteuil's Georges attempts to track down the culprit behind the quiet terrorising of his family, narrowing down the suspects only to find dead ends, and all the while Georges' history and his true self is slowly revealed.

Overall the film is an unnerving experience, but it's seriously thought-provoking, feeding you the tiniest morsels of information to keep up the intrigue. As you try and scratch away Haneke's clinical sheen for some trace of an answer, Hidden isn't just a film you want to watch again, it's a film you NEED to watch again.
