Personally for me, any RPG that isn't Pokemon. Bravely Default is a good example. The game is fun to play but the story just drags on for so long that I don't feel its worth replaying.

I'm now filled with determination.

Say WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?
I've literally beaten Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers and Aladdin dozens of times, and Duck Tales has plenty of replayability due to its Mega Man style "choose your own path" and tons of secrets in each level.
The Mickey games like Magical Quest are pretty simple and straighforward, but are still charming enough to warrant another playthrough.

Most games I bother to finish are worth playing again. I like to experience them with new perspective.
I can't get very far in Heavy Rain lately. It's like that whole "anything can happen" vibe is gone thanks to an influx of Telltale games.
The Uncharted games for me since I don't care about the collectables and feel like the story and characters are the biggest draw of the series.
Replayability is very subjective.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

All games have zero replayability in my mind. I don't see why someone would keep grinding the same game over and over, when there are tons of games out there and new titles come out all the time. Games that are about repetition in nature I don't even bother with in the first place. I want stories, experiences and emotions, and once a story has been told, I move on to a new one.
Well, I'm a bit weird in this regard. I love to replay games even if they're a bit long. I've played Wind Waker and Skyward Sword at least 6 or 7 times each, I can't remember how many times I beat Twilight Princess (I'm speedrunning it now), I went through Final Fantasy VIII like 4 or 5 times... Golden Sun and Lost Age... maybe 20 times each withour exagerating. And I completed Xenoblade Chronicles three times. Hell, I replay Hotel Dusk and Last Window (two visual novels/graphic adventure/whathever) EVERY DECEMBER. So yeah, I find replayability in most games xD
Of course, there are games that once I've completed them, there's no more enjoyment to be found. The most evident case is The Beginners Guide. Once it's over, it's over for good. There's no reason for me to pick it up again. Professor Layton games too loose all fun once you've beaten them, because you already know the answers to most puzzles, so a second playthrough would be weird. The Order 1886 is also pretty bland in terms of replayablity. Once you've finsihed the story... there's little incentive in playing it again.

That can't be answered with mentioning any single game or series because that totally relies on whether or not any game was fun enough or not. Even within my favorite series for example, Zelda, it depends. I have played through OoT about 6 times probably ever since 1998, but I don't feel the need to replay the Oracle games or Phantom Hourglass.
I don't replay anything to get collectibles, I try to get as much as possible during my initial playthrough, but afterwards that's just a waste of time. Games where the gameplay is fun enough I could play again every once in a while, but there could be many years between playthroughs though and those games are rare to begin with. Discounting endless games like city-builders, I don't ever play 9 out of 10 games anymore, 95 out of 100 probably even. Unless if you mean replayable right away then it's 100%, I never replay any game again right away after finishing it. Speaking of city-builders and other such strategy games, some of them are evergreens to me; I've been playing SimCity 4 and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 pretty much non-stop since they released nearly one-and-a-half decade ago and things like like Anno 1602 and Rome Total War are also up there.
