Name an awesome movie that has a surprise twist ending (no spoilers!)

[FakeNoose]

Hi guys - I love movies with surprise twists, and especially when it's a surprise ending. It's the payoff we get for giving the movie our close attention for up to 2 hours. The problem is, once you see the movie and get blown away by the surprise twist, you can't talk about it, because then you'll ruin it for everybody else.

Without telling us what the surprise is, name a great movie so we can watch it and enjoy it.

My entry is an oldie but goodie ... "The Usual Suspects"

[Ocelot II]

1. The Power of the Dog. New movie, just out on Netflix,

it's a probable multiple Oscar winner.

[FakeNoose]

2. Cool! I want to see that

Thanks for the tip!

[Ocelot II]

4. Best movie I've seen in a long time.

Great acting, beautiful photography, very twisty, subtle story.

[intrepidity]

33. Hah, that was my first thought upon seeing this thread

Good film.

[Foolacious]

3. "The Sixth Sense" N/T

[FakeNoose]

7. Yes that one has a great surprise in the middle

[Aristus]

5. There's a movie I love with a twist 'middle'.

"Local Hero".

It's a funny, gentle, heartwarming twist, but still a twist.

[FakeNoose]

14. OK I'll look for it

That's one I haven't seen. Thanks friend!

[Aristus]

19. You're welcome!

[Harker]

46. I just enjoyed that one for the first time since it was new.

Highly enjoyable in a quiet sort of way. Nice music by Mark Knopfler.

[Glorfindel]

6. A really OLD oldie...

"Psycho" - I imagine there are those who haven't seen it, and it's well worth the watcing.

[FakeNoose]

9. "Psycho" terrorized my childhood

Yep - great suggestion

[RockRaven]

8. How about a twist every 5-10 minutes, not just the ending?... "Memento"

[FakeNoose]

12. I need to give "Memento" another go

I tried to watch it and got hopelessly confused. Maybe it would help if I avoid alcohol until after the movie is done.

[Beatlelvr]

10. Once Uopn a Time in Hollywood.

Awesome movie.

[FakeNoose]

27. Good suggestion! I need to see this

Thanks friend!

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Pootie Tang (NSFW clip)

.

1 minute into this.

.

[FakeNoose]

17. OK I'll have to look for this

I've never heard of this movie but the trailer looks pretty funny.

Thanks friend!

[TheBlackAdder]

52. Just for clarity. . .

.

Pootie Tang is a Chris Rock movie. It's funny.

The clip I showed was Scary Movie 3, a spoof on horror and sci-fi movies. About 1:20 into it the aliens mentioned that they thought they wre watching Pootie Tang, but got the Ring instead. There's 5 of them, but Scary Movie 5 sucks. I think they used different writers.

.

[LakeVermilion]

13. The Sting

needed to watch two or three times to find things that I missed in the first viewing.

[FakeNoose]

18. Yes - The Sting gets better each time I see it

Great suggestion!

[3catwoman3]

54. One of my "favoritest" movie.

The music. The actors. The wardrobing. Everything.

[Boomerproud]

58. Yes.👍

[Ohio Joe]

15. Frailty

An all around top notch movie that often gets overlooked.

[FakeNoose]

26. So this was the Bill Paxton thriller, am I right?

I saw it several years ago, and yes it's quite riveting.
Great suggestion my friend!

[CincyDem]

16. The Usual Suspects.

[GumboYaYa]

20. I always have loved the ending to Planet of the Apes

when I was a kid it totally freaked me out

[FakeNoose]

24. Now that you mention it ...

... I quite agree!

[electric_blue68]

63. Since....

SPOILERish

Since I live where I live I was like... (quick recognition)

Is... that... is that what ... I think it is?!!!!

POW!

[no_hypocrisy]

21. The Crying Game

[FakeNoose]

25. Oh yeah!

[Harker]

47. That was a life changer for me, given some of my comments earlier on.

[iemanja]

68. I doubt that would be so surprising now

And I could tell a few minutes into the film even back then.

[Casady1]

22. Begin Again

Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightly.

[FakeNoose]

29. Haven't seen this one, but I'll look for it

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Casady1]

42. same director as "Once"

very good music.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

How can you go wrong with Michael Caine and Steve Martin? It's entertaining, beautifully filmed, funny and surprising...one of my favs.

Here's a scene: Dinner with Ruprecht

[FakeNoose]

28. OK I'll have to look for this one

Thanks friend!

[imaginary girl]

30. Deathtrap

Several twists along with Michael Caine and a young Christopher Reeves

[FakeNoose]

32. Yes - good suggestion

It reminds me of another similar twisty mystery:
Anyone who enjoys "Deathtrap" would probably also like "Sleuth" with Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier.

[imaginary girl]

44. I'll check it out. Thanks!

[keithbvadu2]

31. Television::: the last Bob Newhart show

[Sneederbunk]

34. Body Heat.

[Paladin]

35. Great movie, with a perfect ending. (nt)

[Ocelot II]

38. Loved that one!

[Runningdawg]

36. It may be a cult classic but there are many who haven't seen Harold and Maude

[FakeNoose]

37. I haven't seen it

Does it have a twist at the end?

Thanks for the suggestion my friend

[Runningdawg]

49. HUGE twist. See it soon. Enjoy!

[sarge43]

39. The Prestige n/t

[FakeNoose]

40. Yes! Awesome flick with an outstanding cast

What a twist at the end too.

[sarge43]

45. Had to watch every second carefully,

because the twist, the answer, like a magic trick, was right before your eyes.

Brilliant cast, David Bowie as Tesla.

[ruet]

41. Predator.

It's more of a middle twist but it was still a surprise and awesome.

[Skittles]

43. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest

THE best

[OilemFirchen]

48. Always the same answer from me:

"No Way Out" with Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young,

From IMDb:

Tom Farrell is a navy officer who gets posted at the Pentagon and is to report to the secretary of defense David Brice. He starts an affair with Susan Atwell not knowing that she is Brice's mistress. When Susan is found dead, Tom is assigned to the case of finding the killer who is believed to be a KGB mole! Tom could soon become a suspect when a Polaroid negative of him was found at Susan's place. He now has only a few hours to find the killer before the computer regenerates the photo.

[FakeNoose]

51. Yes it has an awesome twist at the very end

Loved it!

[Upthevibe]

50. Primal Fear....

One of my very favorite movies.

Edward Norton's film debut in which he was nominated for an Oscar.

[FakeNoose]

53. Thanks for the tip

It's been many years, but I agree that movie was memorable.

[ironflange]

55. The Empire Strikes Back

No surprise now, but when I saw it first run it was like being punched in the stomach.

[FakeNoose]

56. Yes I know what you mean

That was quite a shock! Did anyone spoil it for you?
My friends told me before I saw the movie, and it sort of ruined it.
(I loved it anyway, but the surprise was gone.)

[ironflange]

57. Nope, it was a complete surprise

It's actually a cherished memory.

[electric_blue68]

64. Omg, yeah! Blam!

[NNadir]

59. Presumed Innocent.

[question everything]

60. No Way Out

As a matter of fact if one misses the first 10 min and the last - it would be an entirely different movie.

[dclarston13]

61. "The Art of Self Defense"

[happybird]

62. The Mist

Watched it a few days ago and the ending about killed me.

[skypilot]

65. Carrie

Not a twist ending but definitely one of the biggest surprises ever.

[Ocelot II]

66. Citizen Kane!

[iemanja]

67. The Book of Eli

with Denzel Washington.

Six Sense has a big surprise ending too, but probably everyone knows about that.

[edbermac]

69. Not a twist ending but a twist middle.

A Beautiful Mind
