The Irishman is one hell of a movie. Underrated as per this chart.

It's very long, which might work against rewatching and finishing it, reducing overall hours

Also (imo at least) not a ‘background’ type of movie. I don’t particularly do a lot of rewatching in general as there’s so much unseen content I want to get to, but when I do, it’s very often something I don’t need to pay much attention to because the time I’ll do said rewatching is when I’m semi preoccupied and won’t singularly focus on the movie/show.

That’s where these ‘it was fine I guess’ blockbuster style movies that make up most of this chart (and pop culture in general) really shine. I can turn on Red Notice and just poke my head out at particular scenes where the movie is actually at it’s best, or just listen for the quippy dialogue bits that stand out. Repeat for tons and tons of movie examples we can think of that follow this style.

Knives Out might be the exception here, but I guess on rewatch the mystery is solved and you can kinda watch it with less focus so maybe not.

215 million hours watched.

Looks like it was only watched a half dozen times overall.

Agreed. It gets better with each rewatch.
