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.

    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!

        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!

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

        Agreed. If I don’t want to watch a movie I’ll just watch the trailer to get a summary of the entire dang plot

          Yeah. Theyve gotten worse. Go watch a trailer for Jurassic park, now thats a good one, its like what’s happening and then IRS over, lije 15 seconds. How a trailer should be. Not every damn clip of the movie for 3 minutes.

    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!

        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.

    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.

    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.

      I swear I’ve heard of the Day of the Jackal 10 times by now! I don’t mean in a bad way :) Either the book or movie, I see it being suggested often in the topics I’m interested in. Might be a sign to finally watch it!

      The book is much better, the audiobook is even better than the book. Gosling was the wrong actor for this role.

        That’s what my neighbor told me after I took his advice and watched it. Haven’t had the capacity to read/listen yet.

        But going into it almost completely blind, it was a great movie.

    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.

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

      Watched them all! Memento is my favorite of these 3. When it clicked for me what was happening I was mesmerized.
