Rewatchable Comedies reward repeat viewing with buried jokes and background gags that land harder each time. These 16 picks earn another spin.
Editor's Note

Rewatchable Comedies earn their place through precision: a tossed-off line, a background face, an awkward pause, or a prop gag hiding near the edge of the frame. The best ones improve once you know the plot and can study the machinery. These 16 movies keep paying out. Airplane! fires jokes at machine-gun speed, while The Big Lebowski makes every strange line reading feel quote-ready.
