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.

Yeah, there are a lot of films here that I saw at the cinema but it just wouldn't be possible now to not know what they are about.

The Matrix advertising was mostly just these posters everywhere that said "what is the matrix?" and I basically went to it to find out what tf the matrix was.
