What are some movies that are best experienced going in completely blind? (leminal.space)

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.

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.

Enter the Void. Best enjoyed on acid with friends 😉

Dog Soldiers

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.

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."

The Empire Strikes Back

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

The perfect host is pretty good!

Snowtown,but really dont trust me.

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

I'm gonna try for some where there's a chance you don't already know what they are:

Bad Boy Bubby

El Secreto de Sus Ojos

The Music of Chance

I'm Not Scared
