What is this called?

There are times I have watched a movie I had never seen before in my life, and while watching it, I recall particular scenes in my "memory", as if I had seen the movie before!

Perfect example was My Sassy Girl (Korean 2001) movie, I see it all the time on an Asian torrent site I usually use, and it is well known. I am not a romance person of movies, so I ignore the movie.

But every so often I would see it when scrolling for movies. So I decided to watch it one day WHEN I have a girlfriend!

Fast forward decades later, I wanted to watch the movie with my wife, and many scenes in the movie brings up a memory like I had seen the movie before, even though I never watched it!

Not just only this, but other movies I watch and it brings up memory as if I had seen it before. And no it is NOT dejavu. I get dejavu all the time, so I can distinguish the feelings.

What is this thing called, if anyone knows please. 🤔
