What are some movies that are best experienced going in completely blind? (leminal.space)

I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.

One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.

I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone's tastes to make a "trust me"-style recommendation like this.

The head fucks.

Memento, Being John Malkovitch, Fight Club, inception, that kind of thing.

Most movies really don't suffer due to spoilers. But when it's one of those where you only get to experience the twist once as a virgin viewer, you can end up losing all of the fun of it.

I agree. The Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense also fit in here
