All of them. Fuck trailers that give away major plot points.
Though trailers being free and giving away all the action and plot is awesome when you lack money to see said movie. It's basically a super condensed version that they just give away! I've seen 19 movies this year and it only took 26 minutes and $0.
*only kind of a joke
you know you can always sail the high seas instead of begging for movie scraps
Won't somebody please think of the shareholders?!
(but yes)
Agreed. Although I still like trailers to give me an idea of the general vibe.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
I'm so glad I knew literally nothing about it. What a rare treat to be surprised like that.
Completely blind? Idk maybe try audiobooks.
I thought the movie "source code" seemed stupid when I saw the marketing materials, but you should ignore those completely because the PR people literally didn't know what kind of movie they were marketing. I wouldn't have watched if it weren't for a family member deciding to put it on.
Also don't read any description from people who understood the movie ahead of time, it would spoil it. My only hint is that it's time travel adjacent, and if you understand a bit about those kinds of theories you'll understand the movie. The delivery is good, just go in blind when watching it.
I always do this as I hate spoilers.
I had no idea what to expect when I watched Swiss Army Man.

Cabin in the Woods
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
I had a friend tell me to watch Tucker and Dale and went in completely blind and I'm so glad I did. Such a hilarious movie, I'm sure the trailer would have ruined all the best one liners.

Fight Club.
I suppose I could see that. The IMDb description is
An insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.
and the "much more" and mention of soap might be a bit of a giveaway of the latter part of the movie.
The IMDb page also has the drama tag instead of action.

Tucker and Dale Versus Evil. There's no real way to explain that movie without giving it all away.
This was without a doubt a super underrated movie. A great going in blind movie! I wish there were more haha
John Wick was great. I didn't even know it was gonna be an action movie. Probably any good movie is best watched blind. I try and avoid trailers most of the time
All I knew about The Matrix was it had karate, and the slow mo looked cool. I walked out and said "I have no idea what I just watched, but it was amazing."
I posted this here a couple of months ago: Old Henry (2021). It's one of the best slow-burn character dramas to come out recently, in my opinion. I would steer clear of any synopsis of this movie, go in blind and enjoy the story.
The grand Budapest hotel - quirky, witty, fabulous and just outstanding acting.
Palm Springs
Oldboy (2003)
That was definitely a great recommendation for this. I had no idea what I was getting into. I think even if you asked me half way into the movie how it was going to end I wouldn't have been able to guess it. I also thought it was really well shot and written.
Attempting to tag /u/Gojimbo@lemmy.world and /u/darelik@lemmy.world because they wanted a follow up
In the spirit of the thread, I won’t discuss it, but I’m glad you got to see it and it met expectations :)

The Endless
Two brothers go on a road trip to investigate the UFO cult they spent time in during their childhood. I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers
The Matrix
You ever see eXistenZ?
Lots of great suggestions below already, thought I'd add The Prestige. Peak Nolan in my opinion, and definitely benefits from going in blind.
The sixth sense
The invitation (2015). Amazing movie. Don't watch the crap movie of the same title from 2022, it is utter trash.
Someone else mentioned it but you might like Coherence. Similar vibes.

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".
