One Cut Of The Dead.

The first 30 minutes are horribly bad acted and are a pain to sit through, but pay attention. Then comes the pay off. And it's extremely funny and so well put together!

Incendies by Denis Villeneuve. I know he's become a pretty big and successful director after he did Blade Runner and Dune, but Incendies is his best movie and an absolutely crazy ride. Twist after twist after twist until finally, you arrive at the final twist and you are not prepared. At all.

"Everything, everywhere, all at once"

It's just... Wow

Big Trouble (2002). Massively underrated.

"I fuckin' hate Gators fans."

Honestly? All of them.
Since I've stopped watching trailers / reading synopses etc. my enjoyment of most any movie has shot up exponentially

All of them. I want to know very little about the movies I go see.

If you can manage it, the Matrix was absolutely amazing the first time. We had no idea what we were going to see except someone from work said it looked good. After it was done we were leaving the theater and saw that the next showing didn't have a line, so we went again.

A few classics that haven't been mentioned yet are Rear Window, The Planet of the Apes (1968), and Se7en. Se7en is absolutely still worth watching even if spoiled by the memes. Parasite is also a good, more recent one.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I went in thinking it was a martial arts flick and was pleasantly surprised while not being incorrect.

1973's Day of the Jackal.

1974's The Conversation.

Project Hail Mary

The recent Backrooms movie.

The Cabin in the Woods

Memento

Fight Club

The Matrix

Mickey 17

Nobody/Nobody 2

Dark City. Make sure to watch the original release, not the directors cut. Otherwise, enjoy.

I agree that going into all movies blind is best, there are specific types that are best to be blind. I'd say movies where the ending is the biggest plot point like those with twist endings, mysteries, and maybe tragedies. In a romcom or adventure movie, there's a good chance you may already know the outcome. The couple end up together or good overcomes evil. But those movies are enjoyable even if you can predict the outcome. For mysteries or twist endings, if you already know the ending then the journey towards it is less enjoyable.

Other movies that are good going in blind are ones that are so out there part of the fun is watching what makes it so different.

That said, here are the list of movies I think would be great to go in blind:

• Old Boy (the 2003 Korean one)
• Memento
• Everything Everywhere All at Once
• Fargo
• Shutter Island

It's an old one but The Usual Suspects.

Titan AE and Atlantis: The Lost Empire for some good classics.

Oh, ans Treasure Planet too.

Donnie Darko, if you like unnerving mysteries with mind bending resolutions.

The Prestige

Memento

Predestination

Tbh pretty much all movies. There's really nothing to be gained from feeding the hype train.

Primer

• The Iron Giant
• The Neverending Story
• Pearl (if you know nothing of the series...full blind)

EDIT: The Apartment (1960)

Pan's Labyrinth

It's a sweet whimsical tale.

Event Horizon

I watched it earlier in the year with a huge misconception to what it is but highly recommend.

Also any Wes Anderson film because it's going to some eccentric wonder and the less you know the better.

These movies I specifically recommend people go into knowing as little as possible about them.

Requiem for a Dream

From Dusk Till Dawn

Funny Games

I went with a list that has some great twists that work really well if you have no idea before going in.

Midsommar
The VVitch
Unbreakable
The Prestige
The Village
Sunshine

Psychological horror - Cube, Cube^2^, if you liked them Cube 0

Sci-fi - Enders Game

Comedy - Austin Powers (all)

Bullet Train

The Shawshank Redemption

Silence of the Lambs

Sorry to bother you (2018)

Any John Williams movies. Even if you can't see what is going on in the movie, at least you'll be able to enjoy the music

The Kid Detective.

A newer one: Strange Darling

Good movie

Audition

all of them/ they’re so much better that way
