Remember with Christopher Plummer.

Saw a really good one at Seattle Film Festival two years ago that never made it to general distribution called West of Redemption. Shame it never was released because it was one ending you never saw coming.

It's always a good movie when the end surprises you.

The Usual Suspects The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2018 #1

Doh - is there any other. CincyDem Aug 2018 #2

that was a twisty one. RIP Kevin Spacey's career. :-( Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #4

A shame he turned out to be a perv - he was one of my favorite actors. The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2018 #10

an amazing talent. Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #12

Actually, when I saw "The Usual Suspects" PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2018 #26

sometimes I figure out the twist early, then there is a double twist Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #97

One of the best executed, from a film-making standpoint, IMO RockRaven Aug 2018 #29

The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 shenmue Aug 2018 #3

will put on my watch list. have never seen it. Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #5

It is really scary and exciting shenmue Aug 2018 #11

the 1974 0r 2004 version? Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #63

1974 shenmue Aug 2018 #64

watched it. good movie. love revisiting the 1970s. lol Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #115

The Sixth Sense MaryMagdaline Aug 2018 #6

definitely Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #7

by the same producer.. "the Village". twisty ending Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #19

I liked The Village. I'd watch it again, but there was one thing I disliked about it... RockRaven Aug 2018 #52

Interesting interpretation. I would have to watch again Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #121

That was good. Glamrock Aug 2018 #22

This one I actually figured out before we were told question everything Aug 2018 #34

I saw The Sixth Sense the night it opened, was surprised how many people brought their little kids RockRaven Aug 2018 #36

Fight Club PoorMonger Aug 2018 #14

I've avoided that one because of the title. I assume it's a boxing/fighting movie Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #41

No--it's an anti-capitalism/anti-oligarch anti-alienation movie. nt tblue37 Aug 2018 #54

There are a few scenes which include on-screen violence; the film is more character/narration driven RockRaven Aug 2018 #60

Not at all. nt Dr Hobbitstein Aug 2018 #69

I did the same thing... lame54 Aug 2018 #108

Twister? TlalocW Aug 2018 #21

I recall it being a step-mom killing, so not for sympathy but to get rid of step daughter. Demovictory9 Aug 2018 #43
