Napoleon Dynamite
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Most of these are just slow by modern standards, MTV changed film editing for good
Into the Wild is pretty minimal once he moved to Alaska
The Master is very minimal of plot but the opposite of relaxing
Peanut butter falcon is amazing.
Valhalla Rising and Beyond the Black Rainbow are both low on exposition and focus a lot on building an ambiance around the wilderness or a false sense of nostalgia
I’d recommend First Cow
Melancholia.
Rubber
Seriously, give this movie a shot.
I have to assume people will have different ideas of minimal, but I just watched Love Me, and I think it counts

i wouldn’t know. when i watch movies, i watchitfortheplot.
It’s been a long time since I watched it but I found Bladerunner very slow paced.
It dat noir, baby!
Coffee and Cigarettes
Clerks (but just the first one)
I don’t know if I would call Clerks a slow-paced movie, like the plot barely advances at all throughout the entire movie, and I get that, but the movie is not really about the plot, it’s about a series of seemingly unconnected events that happen in an average, nondescript location in New Jersey, and getting to people watch as the weirdness erupts around the one seemingly normal person in the entire film.
I used to love Clerks when I was a teenager, but after rewatching it as an adult (along with a few other Kevin Smith movies), I feel like I outgrew it. It’s edgy and the characters have good chemistry and was shot well, but end of the day, kinda just juvenile and the dialog pretentious. I get why it was criticized as such.

You literally just described Kevin Smith…
I think I like these movies because I’m also juvenile and pretentious.
Passengers It’s a sci-fi movie.
My Dinner With André
The Banshees of Inisherin
