I have to agree with the consensus here, Usual Suspects was tops. Honorable mention to Fight Club, Sixth Sense, and No Way Out.
I can't remember why but I think The Last Seduction should be on the list. Ninth Gate was ok, but it's not what Red Rival was thinking...sounds kinda close though.
mind block...there was a recent flic revisiting the Jack the Ripper story. Can't think of the name of it but it took the premise that the murders were a political cover-up for the crown prince's indescretions with ladies of the evening.
the sixth sense
it didnt hit me he was dead untill after the film
also the others
when they find out they r the real ones dead not those so called ghosts they hear
From Hell?Quote:

NO question about it, Usual Suspects.
It was extremely well thought out and executed.
I would like to add Les Miserables with Liam Neeson.
I had never read the book or heard anything about it so the ending was a complete shock.
I know it prolly wasn't a twist, but it was completely unexpected when the inspector did what he did.
man i would have never thought of that movie but you are soo right.Quote:
The first movie that came to my mind was Shattered...wasn't a terribly great movie but the ending was a trip.
i remember this flick and the end tripped me out. anyone who likes twists
should look for shattered.
sixth sense was huge. everyone in the theater was gasping.
ive never seen an entire theater so fooled.
usual suspects was great as well.
as far as the ceator of this thread thinking morpheus surviving in the
matrix? WTF, maybe he was kidding. there was absolutely no "twist" to
morpheus surviving. not in the true sense of misdirection from the director/writer,
which is what every truly great "twist" is based upon. thereby
qualifying twists as an illusion in film.
They keep poppin'up in my mind how about from dusk till dawn...
when they arrive in the bar and the girl on the table dances and... changes.... :devil:
lol you are thinking too hard.
pearl harbour when the japanese starting the bombing :o i never expected it! great great twist to the plot that was :o
The ending to Arlington Road with Jeff Bridges. I'm so used to the good guy always winning. Left me speechless. :o
