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.

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

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

It's an old one but The Usual Suspects.

The Cabin in the Woods

Memento

Fight Club

The Matrix

Mickey 17

Nobody/Nobody 2

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

"Everything, everywhere, all at once"

It's just... Wow

The Prestige

Memento

Predestination

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

EDIT: The Apartment (1960)

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

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

Sci-fi - Enders Game

Comedy - Austin Powers (all)

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.

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

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

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

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

Pan's Labyrinth

It's a sweet whimsical tale.

A newer one: Strange Darling

Good movie

Primer

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.

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

Audition

The obvious answer for a question like this is often a movie with some kind of big twist - which does make a recommendation pretty hard if you want to preserve the surprise of the twist.

In an alternate vein, I think horror movies have a lot of potential here. I used to have a subscription to Shudder, and watching old horror movies I had never seen was a special kind of experience. Ditto for anything that describes itself as a "mind-bending psychological thriller" or anything psychedelic

For a specific recommendation, I'm going with Blood Beat (1983). Although even if I didn't go in blind I probably would have found it just as weird

Limbo (1999) directed by John Sayles I went into this one blind at the cinema. I still think about it.

The recent Backrooms movie.

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

The Kid Detective.

Not a movie but:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6dC80AEawE

That's an hour and 15 minute episode of The Chris Gethard Show, guest staring Jason Mantazokus and Paul Scheer.

The point is they try to guess what's in a dumpster, which sounds stupid.

But it is absolutely the best thing to watch "blind" for the first time.

It's ten years old but you're unlikely to have heard of it, and they just did a 10 year anniversary show like a week ago, that's not as good but you might want to watch it after the original.

Los Cronocrimenes (Timecrimes) if you like time travel and haven't come across this little gem yet.
