I may have this wrong, but what happened just before you found the film you rewatch through a long keep watch? I return to The Princess Bride when the watch is quiet; I know the wheelbarrow, the fire swamp, and the final credits by heart.
What did you try first when you wanted comfort rather than surprise? I put it on after taking my banner out of Envy and riding alone again, then copy a few map notes while the duel reaches the cliffs. The west wall. After rain.
Do you rewatch for one scene, or because the whole road has become familiar? I will try it myself with your choice; I want to see whether the comfort lies in the ending, the music, or the small moment that always arrives before either.
