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!
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!
Honestly? All of them.
Since I’ve stopped watching trailers / reading synopses etc. my enjoyment of most any movie has shot up exponentiallyIve never watched trailers. They ruin the movies. Especially now.
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.
“Everything, everywhere, all at once”
It’s just… Wow
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.
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!
There was a new series sometime in the recent past so maybe that got some attention to the older ones.
Project Hail Mary
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.
The Cabin in the Woods
Memento
Fight Club
The Matrix
Mickey 17
Nobody/Nobody 2
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.
Donnie Darko, if you like unnerving mysteries with mind bending resolutions.
It’s an old one but The Usual Suspects.
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.
Big Trouble (2002). Massively underrated.
“I fuckin’ hate Gators fans.”
The Prestige
Memento
Predestination
Watched them all! Memento is my favorite of these 3. When it clicked for me what was happening I was mesmerized.
- The Iron Giant
- The Neverending Story
- Pearl (if you know nothing of the series…full blind)
EDIT: The Apartment (1960)
