I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.

One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.

I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone's tastes to make a "trust me"-style recommendation like this.

Dog Soldiers

[–] Daze@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Enter the Void. Best enjoyed on acid with friends 😉

[–] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Shutter Island. It is both a movie that is better when you don't know what it's about and when you've already seen it once. Watch it twice.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Completely blind? Something with a lot of descriptive dialogue and good sounds and music. 😏

The Endless

Two brothers go on a road trip to investigate the UFO cult they spent time in during their childhood. I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I posted this here a couple of months ago: Old Henry (2021). It's one of the best slow-burn character dramas to come out recently, in my opinion. I would steer clear of any synopsis of this movie, go in blind and enjoy the story.

The perfect host is pretty good!

"Arlington Road" and "Cabin in the Woods"

I've got 2 Id recommend: Matchstick Men Identity

[–] otacon239@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yessssss. Identity is my favorite Cusack film. Such a fun one.

The Empire Strikes Back

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago

Lots of great suggestions below already, thought I'd add The Prestige. Peak Nolan in my opinion, and definitely benefits from going in blind.

You do. Also, if you ask specifically for movies you have to be unprepared for, won't that make you prepared for them?

Bad Boy Bubby

El Secreto de Sus Ojos

The Music of Chance

I'm Not Scared
