Darren Aronofsky's Pi. I've watched 3 times, each separated by a decent amount of time, and I think the third was my favourite.

Its short runtime (84 mins) is I suspect a major factor in this. Nowadays it's almost like rewatching a favourite episode of a beloved Sci-Fi.

It definitely would make a good Black Mirror episode. My problem is the ending sequence is so brutal and off putting that I find it hard to rewatch for recommend to others.

It was neat to recognize the actor who played Hector Salamanca in it though as the professor. That guy has awesome range!
