I think that "rewatchablility" is an important metric, but it's just one of so many different metrics that people use to judge what a great movie is.
As you said, there are plenty of terrific movies for which I wouldn't be upset if I never saw them again. Yet, would I recommend them? Yes.
Movies are so wonderfully complex that there is no single metric by which we can judge their credibility. We can only state our opinion of them, and leave the judgement to the next viewer.
