Which movies are meant to be "felt" and not "understood"?

I recently saw this video by Thomas Flight on what makes David Lynch movies David Lynch movies and I found the bottom line to be a very interesting thought:

Often, there are complaints if movies don't make 100% sense or are super cryptic, but we have other forms of art that are primarily to be felt (music, paintings, dance) so why shouldn't (some) movies be allowed to do the same?

Although it's not a prime example, I think this train of thought is why I love both new Dune movies so much. They do make sense, tell a clear story, but often we feel the worlds and the characters, are sucked in by dense atmosphere rather than words. These movies, in my opinion, truly come to life while nothing is said.
