65 Good Slow Burn Movies That Won't Burn You Out (Ranker)

Good slow burn movies lull audiences into a false sense of comfortability with their low energy but engaging storylines only to deliver an unforgettable ending. They often build to a crescendo that changes your entire perspective of the film up to that point. Maybe it has to do with an unreliable narrator like Memento or The Usual Suspects. One might ever consider the slow, deliberate, and methodical pace of The Batman to be a slow burn superhero movie. Arrival and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy certainly take their time getting to the ending but it's well worth it.
