Top 5 most re-watchable CBMs?
It pretty much MCU movies for me.
1. Captain America the Winter Soldier( I have watched this movie more times than any other in my life)
2. Captain America Civil War.
3. The Avengers.
4. Guardians of the Galaxy.
5. Avengers age of Ultron.
Even though I love the Dark Knight trilogy I don't watch them as often as marvel films. My opinions on these could easily change. I also haven't seen any of the CBM's from this year more than once. It wouldn't surprise me if GOTG Vol.2, Wonder Woman or Spider Man Homecoming end up on my list.
In no particular order.
• The Winter Soldier
• Civil War
• Amazing Spider-Man
• Deadpool
• Age of Ultron
Conan-orignal
Dark Knight
Thor
Avengers civil war
Wonder Woman
Guardians of the Galaxy
X-men age of Apocalypse
@destinyman75: That's more than five. ;P
Xmen DoFP
Winter soldier
Civil war
Avengers
TDK
I love Watchmen too but it is so long that I rarely rewatch it
I lean toward the funny, so...
- Guardians of the Galaxy (vol 1.)
- Wonder Woman
- Ant-Man
- Batman Begins (not really funny but I like it a lot)
- Men in Black*
*In reality, Dredd should be on this list since I rewatch it a lot, too. MIB I don't usually sit down intentionally to rewatch, but whenever it is on TV I watch it from whatever place it is through to the end. Hence, I've seen MIB more than Dredd so it made the list.
Spider-Man 2
Don't really distinguish rewatchable from favorite/best. A bad movie has no re-watch-ability and a good movie has lots of it.
Even Logan, which is quite possible the most emotional I've become during a CBM, I will happily watch over and over
@rey_everdeen: oops
Not really in any order:
Logan
Deadpool
GOTG 1 and 2
SM Homecoming
And a 6th, Age of Ultron because I own it and I love James Spader, even if it's just his voice.

Yes and no, for me.
The Dark Knight is my favourite CBM, but I only watch it occasionally. Why? Because a film that intricate deserves my full undivided attention. I'd rather watch the trilogy back to back then watch The Dark Knight twice in 2 days. At the same time, an insanely bad film like Suicide Squad doesn't deserve my time. I think films like Iron Man 3, Ant Man, First Class, or Kick Ass has more replay value than The Dark Knight. They're nowhere near better, but the fact that I can keep up with it while I'm on my phone, serves as more background entertainment.

Well, take for instance The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, etc. great movies, but because of their nature, watching this movie after the first time makes for a different experience, that, while interesting to catch details you probably missed the first time, is generally not as great.
On the other hand, a good comedy like Pinapple Express or The Naked Gun loses very little value with each rewatch.
Spiderman 2
The winter soldier
iron man 1
civil war
deadpool
(although for me 3 times the most if i watch a movie the fourth time i get sick of it
i saw deadpool in theaters with my neighbors
then with my brother
then with my cousin
then with a close friend and by that time i got sick of it lol)

There's exceptions to every rule. But no comic book movie is an exception, imo.
Dredd, Ant-Man, Spiderman 1 and 2, Hulk 2008 (Ed Norton > Mark Ruffalo), League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and most DC animated films involving the Justice League or New 52 onward stories (post-Timmverse).
Dredd is definitely the highlight for me.
X-Men DoFP is very rewatchable. There are so many little new things that you notice, like with the way some characters glance at each other, subtly hinting at things to come.
Watchmen was pretty rewatchable. For it I only saw the extended cut when it aired on HBO, years ago. I noticed there was some subtle foreshadowing that most people probably only noticed on a second viewing that made the movie feel better.
I found The Wolverine to be very rewatchable. For it I also only saw the extended cut, and watched it for the first time shortly after rereading the Wolverine mini series by Claremont and Miller. I wanted a rewatch it to catch all of the subtle references made to the source material.
I don't know if this counts, but I didn't like Batman Begins when I first saw it in theatres, but years later I watched it after reading Batman Year One and enjoyed it a lot more. Still, I think I've only seen it twice altogether, but it's one of the few CBM's that I've watched that was better on a second viewing.
I think that's about it for me. It would be easier for me to think of CBM's that got worse upon repeat viewings.
Spider-Man, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk, and Superman.
One of those doesn't fit...
Spider-Man, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk, and Superman.

It's batman begins isn't it?
Hellboy the Golden Army, Civil War, Blade 2, GOTG, Xmen Origins Wolverine(I know but I have watched it at least 20 times)
