Best Movie Plot Twists.

i cant believe it got to the 29th post in this topic and no one mentions SAW

I think Saw can go with the other contrived plot twist movies like Scream/Sixth Sense/Arlington Road and hang their collective heads in shame.

Definitely Vertigo and

Psycho (The "star" of the movie dies 30 minutes in, everyone knows this now so it's not much of a twist, but 40 years ago it was marketed brilliantly (in those days people came into the cinema at any time regardless of what part of the movie was playing and just stayed until they were at the part where they came in) with Psycho people queued outside the cinema and were only allowed to enter at the start, people were also instructed not to give away the twist by Hitchcock himself)

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that M. Night Shamalayan's movies are considered to be typical examples of movies with plot twists. Lookie here for instance.

That means "The Sixth Sense", among others.

I'd say plot twists like those in "The Sixth Sense" and "Vanilla Sky" are better, because they don't only alter the expected final outcome of the story, but they also reflect back on the rest of the story, changing it from start to finish.

The plot goes on from start to finish, and there's nothing that says a plot twist cannot take place near the end.

The plot twist (if it can even be called that) in "From Dusk till Dawn" is more a matter of a radical change in the plot, rather than something that alters the our view of the entire previous plot, which makes it fairly one-dimensional compared to more intricate works.
