Is there a genre of fiction that fits the description below?
I am looking for books, movies, TV shows that are the kind that you would want to watch more and more to figure it out. For example 2001 a Space Odyssey is something I watched and it took a while for me to figure out. So I watched it multiple times. I find that once you read a book, or watch a movie there is no point in watching it again, it's spoiled. Is there a particular genre or place to look for this?

You're looking for literature, rather than genre fiction or a simple narrative.
Look on the classics shelf, as quite often that is what makes the classics. I also like to tell people who are reading On the Road to read it again in ten years, because it's a different novel when read at 20 then it is when you read it at thirty or forty.

The term "convolution" comes to mind, and the Zeigarnik Effect seems at least worth mentioning.
