It varies. Some movies lend themselves to easy re-watching after short periods of time. Things like My Fair Lady, for instance.But generally I would say the stronger the film, the longer should the interval be. It is usually at least several years, often much more, for truly great ones. Perhaps they are like wine - young and light one can be enjoyed right away, and the better - the longer.
Great films leave such long lasting impressions that one hardly needs to revisit them often. It's been many years since I saw the Forbidden Games, yet it is completely alive in my memory. Such is the power of masterpieces.
That is part of reason why I only started collecting films very late in my career. Music - all the time, but I didn't see reason for movies collection.
