Rubber

Seriously, give this movie a shot.

The Man From Earth

Coffee and Cigarettes

Clerks (but just the first one)

Melancholia.

The Banshees of Inisherin

It’s been a long time since I watched it but I found Bladerunner very slow paced.

I have to assume people will have different ideas of minimal, but I just watched Love Me, and I think it counts

Other movies

• Moon.
• Cast Away
• 127 Hrs
• 2001: A space odyssey
• Hateful Eight

i wouldn’t know. when i watch movies, i watchitfortheplot.

I’d recommend First Cow

For pace, it’s basically directly correlated with the movie’s age.

I have no idea how today’s young screen-addled audiences would even begin to approach the idea of watching basically any movie from the 1970s, let alone the 40s.

The Zone of Interest. Slice of life about a Nazi commandant. No real plot, not much really “happens” but I was absolutely riveted. Beautiful sound design too.

My Dinner With André

Werckmeister Harmonies (while it has a plot, it comes at you slowly)

Hard to be a God (2013) (the most minimal of plots in a sense)

The Greasy Strangler (closest movie on the list to Napoleon Dynamite in feel)

The Lighthouse (2019)

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

Stalker

Waterworld? At least that’s the impression I got as a kid.

My list is kinda a specific interpretation of ‘slow and with minimal plot.’

Jim Jarmusch, Dead Man.

Room In Rome

If there was a plot, my gay ass definitely missed it
