It is subjective like others here have said but for me a big part of it is Longevity. Most “great” movies stand up to repeated viewings bc there is some density in the text, or because the spectacle is just that good. Jurassic Park is a perfect movie to me because it both has richness in its themes but also incredible spectacle that emerges from the text. All my favourite movies can be watched whenever bc there’s so much there visually and textually.
