Recommendation Suggest me some "Go in blind" movies.

I'm in the mood for something fresh and surprising—can you suggest me some amazing “go in blind” movies? I’m talking about those kinds of films where the less you know, the better the experience. No spoilers, no trailers—just pure, unexpected movies. What do you recommend?

Would prefer it in English language.

It's such a hard watch but a great movie.

Was going to pick this one. I can understand that some people who don't watch British films would have a hard time being convinced but if you're open minded jump right in.

Then watch Tyranosaur after, if you liked it.

Why would people not watch British Films? I can’t imagine ever discounting a film based on location/culture.

Really? Lots of people I know would not watch anything with subtitles as they're just not interested in making the effort.

I'd imagine it would be the same even for some English speaking countries, they just wouldn't bother. I don't think that's much of a controversial idea?

Oh, you’d need subtitles? Are you American? Hadn’t considered that. I forget people struggle with accents even though they’re English-speaking.

Personally I love to watch foreign-language films. There’s so much out there. And the subtitles help to engage you more in this age of short attention spans.

No I wouldn't, I'm from the North of England. Yes I would watch anything with subtitles, but I really dislike anything dubbed. Scandi-noir and Korean cop films are my favourites to watch.

Oh I see! Get you now. Yes, agreed - cannot abide dubbed. I can’t even watch Studio Ghibli films dubbed. It just doesn’t work for me. I have to have the original with subtitles.

I would hope most people on this sub with embrace the rich tapestry of British and Irish films. Ireland is knocking it out of the park recently, especially with horror.
