I don’t like to dwell on a movie’s description or details before watching it so I’m looking for movies to go into blind.

“Everything, everywhere, all at once”
It’s just… Wow
Dark City. Make sure to watch the original release, not the directors cut. Otherwise, enjoy.
Tbh pretty much all movies. There’s really nothing to be gained from feeding the hype train.
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.
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!
Sounds fun!
It’s definitely worth a look, even if the first 30 minutes are a pain! :)
And going blind into the cinema into this movie was perfect! We were so glad we did not leave after a few minutes!
Primer
That. Also Ex Machina, Snowpiercer, eXistenZ, Edge of Tomorrow, The Birdcage
Big Trouble (2002). Massively underrated.
“I fuckin’ hate Gators fans.”
The recent Backrooms movie.
Pan’s Labyrinth
It’s a sweet whimsical tale.
Thats evil
I keep hearing that phrase for some reason.
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.
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
Titan AE and Atlantis: The Lost Empire for some good classics.
Oh, ans Treasure Planet too.
The Kid Detective.
The rare ones that’re audio-only? I think that’s called music, though.
All of them. I want to know very little about the movies I go see.
Exactly! I stopped watching movie and tv trailers over 10 years ago, and it has GREATLY improved my viewing experience!
Great way to waste time and money. 9/10 releases recently are hot garbage.
That 9/10 is not a recent thing at all. Movies have always been.
It is entertainment, it is all about wasting time and money.
