Though trailers being free and giving away all the action and plot is awesome when you lack money to see said movie. It's basically a super condensed version that they just give away! I've seen 19 movies this year and it only took 26 minutes and $0.
*only kind of a joke

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
I'm so glad I knew literally nothing about it. What a rare treat to be surprised like that.
Just watched this today.
Ya, I feel like if someone tried to explain to me what it was, I wouldn't have gotten half of what I got out of it.

Fight Club.
I suppose I could see that. The IMDb description is
An insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.
and the "much more" and mention of soap might be a bit of a giveaway of the latter part of the movie.
The IMDb page also has the drama tag instead of action.
Yeah it's a deceptively different movie. I unfortunately knew too much going in but it still changed me.
Yeah it's a bit like someone's comment of the Matrix. I feel like it had such a cultural impact and has been referenced so many times even someone who hasn't seen it has a rough idea of the plot.
Yeah, there are a lot of films here that I saw at the cinema but it just wouldn't be possible now to not know what they are about.
The Matrix advertising was mostly just these posters everywhere that said "what is the matrix?" and I basically went to it to find out what tf the matrix was.

The Matrix
You ever see eXistenZ?
Tucker and Dale Versus Evil. There's no real way to explain that movie without giving it all away.
This was without a doubt a super underrated movie. A great going in blind movie! I wish there were more haha

Coherence.
Tell people that it's a witty comedy about a Hollywood dinner party gone wrong.
I would have turned it off if I didn't know the genre.
spoiler
The small details and everyone being confused by each other seemed like a combination of bad editing and continuity errors.

The sixth sense
Ex Machina
The head fucks.
Memento, Being John Malkovitch, Fight Club, inception, that kind of thing.
Most movies really don't suffer due to spoilers. But when it's one of those where you only get to experience the twist once as a virgin viewer, you can end up losing all of the fun of it.
I agree. The Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense also fit in here
Completely blind? Idk maybe try audiobooks.
Memento.
John Wick was great. I didn't even know it was gonna be an action movie. Probably any good movie is best watched blind. I try and avoid trailers most of the time
Hereditary
Not a movie but the experience of watching it feels cinematic to me (such that I rank it in my favourite films) and it was made by a film maker:
Twin Peaks (incl season 3, released 2018).
It's a TV show and the first 2 seasons lean into that format, but if you go ahead and skip the "filler" in season 2, and are prepared to tolerate the indulgences of season 3, all together it's like a very long art house film.
Apart from knowing that it's by Lynch, it was wonderful to watch all the way through without knowing anything about it (which I did a few years ago). The experience of finishing it is ~~not~~now one of my favourite "films".
I always do this as I hate spoilers.
I had no idea what to expect when I watched Swiss Army Man.

The first thing that comes to mind isn't a movie but a miniseries - Midnight Mass.
For a movie maybe Groundhog Day?

The Matrix.
The grand Budapest hotel - quirky, witty, fabulous and just outstanding acting.
I thought the movie "source code" seemed stupid when I saw the marketing materials, but you should ignore those completely because the PR people literally didn't know what kind of movie they were marketing. I wouldn't have watched if it weren't for a family member deciding to put it on.
Also don't read any description from people who understood the movie ahead of time, it would spoil it. My only hint is that it's time travel adjacent, and if you understand a bit about those kinds of theories you'll understand the movie. The delivery is good, just go in blind when watching it.
Palm Springs
The invitation (2015). Amazing movie. Don't watch the crap movie of the same title from 2022, it is utter trash.

Predestination
All I knew about The Matrix was it had karate, and the slow mo looked cool. I walked out and said "I have no idea what I just watched, but it was amazing."
