These movies I specifically recommend people go into knowing as little as possible about them.
Requiem for a Dream
From Dusk Till Dawn
Funny Games
From Dusk Till Dawn really does not have the same impact if you know anything at all about the movie. Which is sort of a challenge for a 30-year-old franchise with three movies and a tv series
So if anyone is reading this who doesn't know anything about the 1996 movie and you don't mind a bloodbath, I highly recommend you watch it. Right now if you can
When I was in college, I got to show this movie to someone who had never heard of it. I'm so glad I got to see their reaction when they figured out what the movie is about.
It truly is a rare treat. I caught it for the first time on late night tv
It's one of those movies that I wish I could completely forget about so I could experience it as a first time again
Hadn't heard of this one before. Sold!
Of those three, that one is my favorite, and the one I hoped you'd pick
Update: Ok I'm 37 minutes in and I'm having difficulty watching it. For reference I've turned off A Clockwork Orange twice despite being a huge Kubrick fan.
I'M NOT SOFT! I just find that very specific kind of violence difficult to watch.
Yeah, Funny Games wasn’t for me, either.
Ah I'm not OP but I appreciated the recommendation nonetheless!
The one from 1997, not the 2007 US remake.
