I also enjoy it more and more each time I watch it (though I've actually only watched it all the way through on video twice - which is a total of seeing it four times considering I saw it twice in theaters) - and I also seem to see things with repeated viewing that I may not have fully caught the other times. For instance, while I was picking out captures for Midnite's quotes from the current scene in which Barnabas explains his past to Liz, I got an impression from the way Liz speaks to him that I didn't get the other times. Previously I'd seen her as being supportive of what Barnabas had been through and reenforcing that through it all he'd done everything he could to hold everything together. But this last time as I examined the scene closely, I got the feeling that there was also an undertone/subtext of Liz deliberately goading Barnabas to put him into the frame of mind in which he would not only fight for the family against Angie, but perhaps more importantly to her, improve their current financial situation. In others words, she wasn't exactly being completely unselfish in building him up. Her subtle manipulation of Barnabas is an undertone/subtext that adds a layer of complexity that makes the scene really quite interesting.
