Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now is old enough that you can easily approach it without knowing too much beforehand. 

Roeg's all-timer 1973 horror film stars Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland as a married couple who experience increasingly strange events while mourning the recent accidental death of their daughter.

One of the most formally and narratively adventurous genre films of all time, Don't Look Now is a film that continues to unfurl itself on repeat viewings, but there's no beating the jolting thrill of that first sit - especially if you go in knowing virtually nothing.

Christie and Sutherland are phenomenal in the central roles, while Roeg's peerless direction - punctuated by highly unconventional editing techniques - lends the film a totally unique atmosphere still unlike anything else out there today.

Don't Look Now is a film that'll drill down into your subconscious and stay there, especially if you're lucky enough to go in knowing nothing.
