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.

I would have turned it off if I didn't know the genre.

The small details and everyone being confused by each other seemed like a combination of bad editing and continuity errors.

Your spoiler almost had me turn it off since I thought they were errors when I watched it. Luckily I stuck with it. Because that movie is great.

I saw it on streaming, and I can't remember exactly how I picked it. I suppose it was listed as 'mystery' or 'science fiction.'
