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.

Not a movie but the experience of watching it feels cinematic to me (such that I rank it in my favourite films) and it was made by a film maker:

Twin Peaks (incl season 3, released 2018).

It's a TV show and the first 2 seasons lean into that format, but if you go ahead and skip the "filler" in season 2, and are prepared to tolerate the indulgences of season 3, all together it's like a very long art house film.

Apart from knowing that it's by Lynch, it was wonderful to watch all the way through without knowing anything about it (which I did a few years ago). The experience of finishing it is ~~not~~now one of my favourite "films".
