I agree. The only movie I have ever managed to see without having the faintest idea who was in it, what it was about, or anything else except for the title, was Broken Arrow. I hadn't seen the ads, the previews, the reviews, or heard anyone talking about it. I hadn't even seen the poster. (It would be far too long a story to explain how I managed that, or why.) Up to the moment I entered the theatre, for all I knew it was a soppy romantic comedy or a subtitled French arthouse film.

Anyway, I'm not saying it was intrinsically an unbelievably good movie or anything, but it was a whole new way of experiencing a movie. I didn't know which one was the good guy or the bad guy until they revealed themselves in the natural course of things. I didn't know what the plot was about. Wow, he stole the plane and those bombs? I didn't see *that* coming! The whole thing turned what was, looking back, a pretty average action movie into a really exciting one.

Based on this, I would love to see a spectacularly awesome movie without a trace of foreknowledge. It really brought home to me how much of the experience is blown by knowing all about it beforehand.
