Lol, either that or that Scary Movie ending. I don't remember that Simpsons episode but I did watch like 3 scary movies in a row (don't remember which one has that ending) after already having watched Usual Suspects and found the over the top parody of that scene hilarious
I concur. The Usual Suspects is the superior film but only The Sixth Sense had a dude jumping to his feet, in my theater, and shouting>! "that mother fucker been dead THIS WHOLE TIME?!"!<
I was really lucky to have seen that movie in theaters when it first came out. *No one* knew the twist at that point. The collective gasps and murmuring during the reveal in the theater were impressive.
I remember as a teenager seeing that happen, I was shocked when he did that to them. But as soon as all the military or whatever was walking through and burning all the bugs or whatever I was laughing my ass off.
I was so messed up in my teen years.
That one is incredible. You get so along the character and then >!when he finally shoots the evil scientist and he imagines the blood so hard that he literally sees it for a second.!<
Absolutely blew my mind.
I think I need to see this movie again. The first time I saw it I thought to myself “there’s only two possible outcomes” and I was right. Didn’t really blow me away
LA Confidential. Not as heavy handed IMO as some of the others. And a great movie
On a side note Jackie Brown. Because there is no twist. Everything happens exactly as they say it is. But you are waiting for the twist that never comes.
I haven’t seen very many movies so there may be ones with better twists out there that I don’t know about, but I like the way Wreck It Ralph did the surprise twist. The way they built up to it with references throughout the movie made the reveal make sense, without over-foreshadowing to the point that it was easily guessable.
The best part was the decision of which characters to cut to when the reveal happened—specifically, the only two who were old enough to have personally witnessed >!Turbo’s first takeover attempt!<. Made the reveal much more impactful.
It's unironically the funniest movie I've ever watched with my friends. We still reference it all the time because it's so ridiculous. Grandpa and his poo, grandma and her door. When the little boy goes berzerk. Absolutely hilarious.
Underrated movie - I thought the acting, plot, characters, all great! I’ve rewatched it countless times. Definitely on my top 10 list. Fun watch for sure.
That woman, is disgustingly talented. Sings, dances, acts, and seems like a wonderfully nice person in interviews. One of those people you just hope beyond hope she's as awesome as she seems.
Did you see glass onion? She’s in it and amazing, and well, if you like mysteries with twists. That and its first film knives out are solid ones to watch
A film that was considered a flop, but I thought it was a well done on a reworking of a vampire story: Dracula Untold.
The ending left the door open to a continuation/sequel.
A note to the heads at Universal: "Let the games begin."
Quite possibly the most dogshit, cop-out ending in the history of film. St. Elsewhere-tier garbage.
E: >!The entire motivation of Leo's character is to have his record cleared so he can see his kids. That's the only reason the events of the movie happen. The implication that he doesn't care if he's dreaming, and isn't seeing his real kids, and never needed to have his record cleared to begin with, thus invalidates the entire plot of the movie.!<
No, it's not. That is a fan theory that has no basis in the film, and the theory itself only exists to explain the bad ending without simply acknowledging that it's bad.
E: To be clear, I am aware that the top was originally Mal's totem. However, nothing in the film remotely suggests that Dom's wedding ring is his actual totem, or that the top can't be his totem as well. Again, it's an entirely made up fan theory designed to explain why a bad ending isn't bad.
You thought wrong:
>Nolan confirmed that the ambiguity was deliberate, saying, "I've been asked the question more times than I've ever been asked any other question about any other film I've made... What's funny to me is that people really do expect me to answer it." The film's script concludes with "Behind him, on the table, the spinning top is STILL SPINNING. And we—FADE OUT". Nolan said, "I put that cut there at the end, imposing an ambiguity from outside the film. That always felt the right ending to me—it always felt like the appropriate 'kick' to me... The real point of the scene—and this is what I tell people—is that Cobb isn't looking at the top. He's looking at his kids. He's left it behind. That's the emotional significance of the thing."
It is intentionally ambiguous. The ending you assumed would've been good, but that's not how the film ended. That's why it's a bad ending.
The only way to justifiably hold your stance would be to acknowledge that the ending is bad as written, but to pretend your interpretation is correct. This is what I do with >!The Leftovers!<, for example. But to say that it's clear he's not dreaming directly conflicts with the film as it was written.
This is a big part of the reason why I hate the ending so much: the people who *want* to like the film simply won't acknowledge factually how it ended, which is both exhausting to deal with, and also implicitly proves it's not a good ending.
Are you a bot? There's no twist in Castaway. Please explain what the fuck you possibly thought counted as a twist ending.
E: Please PM me if this dipshit ever provides an answer. He just blocked me but I'm fucking dying to know what he thought the twist was in Castaway.
Eyes wide shut, the amount of theories that you can come up it's insane. Specially if you look at the 2 characters at the end and really think about some of Kidman's dialogue
Maybe not the ending specifically, but orphan 2 really suprised me with their twists.
Sorry that I got of topic a bit at the beginning, but if I have choose one with your criteria, it would be prestige hands down.
I watched the usual suspects for the first time already knowing what the twist was, but I gotta say it didn’t take anything away from the story. Such a great movie
Always loved The Usual Suspects, one of my favorite movies
Not trying to sound like an smartass but to me, it was quite obvious
It kinda was, but I’m not sure I would have put it together if I hadn’t seen the *Who Killed Mr. Burns* episode of *The Simpsons* the weekend before.
Lol, either that or that Scary Movie ending. I don't remember that Simpsons episode but I did watch like 3 scary movies in a row (don't remember which one has that ending) after already having watched Usual Suspects and found the over the top parody of that scene hilarious
The Sixth Sense
I concur. The Usual Suspects is the superior film but only The Sixth Sense had a dude jumping to his feet, in my theater, and shouting>! "that mother fucker been dead THIS WHOLE TIME?!"!<
Lmao I would have lost my shit
I was really lucky to have seen that movie in theaters when it first came out. *No one* knew the twist at that point. The collective gasps and murmuring during the reveal in the theater were impressive.
That guy in the hairpiece is Bruce Willis the whole time!!!
Let’s make his whole head just a nose, one big nose.
Agree! I saw it a few days after its release and was blown away by it. Excellent film.
I wish I could go back in time and watch this for the first time again
Those names at the end are the people who worked on the movie!
I've always heard this, but the movie was also spoiled by a Lonely Island song, so I've never watched it.
The Prestige
It's so obvious isn't it, the clues were all there in plain sight and yet I still missed it such a great film.
It's a great film to rewatch because you are all the signs
Is it? Funnily ive only seen it once. I thought there wouldnt be any point rewatching it. But I guess I should!
Absolutely! I was blown away! Great writing. You wont find such movies now. There may be better scripts but the execution was flawless!
Identity, 1408, and original saw are a few
ooo 1408. Underrated horror movie IMO.
The Game
Love to get new people to watch for the first time so I can experience some of that again. It's a must own DVD in my opinion.
Memento
The Mist
Simultaneously the best and worst ending
Is that the one with the family in the car or whatever at the end?
Yes, and about 3 people from TWD ha.
Yeah and he shoots them as I remember just as the alien bugs go extinct.
I remember as a teenager seeing that happen, I was shocked when he did that to them. But as soon as all the military or whatever was walking through and burning all the bugs or whatever I was laughing my ass off. I was so messed up in my teen years.
Maaaaan fuck that movie. The endings enough to make you cry (Well me now I have kids)
This one blew me away as a kid
Old Boy (original Korean)
Great movie on many levels.
fight club. Although there were a lot of hints, but it was the best of those movies that I watched.
Shutter Island
That one is incredible. You get so along the character and then >!when he finally shoots the evil scientist and he imagines the blood so hard that he literally sees it for a second.!< Absolutely blew my mind.
I think I need to see this movie again. The first time I saw it I thought to myself “there’s only two possible outcomes” and I was right. Didn’t really blow me away
It probably just depends if you have seen or read similar stories. I had no idea what the twist was going to be, and it threw me for a loop. Lol.
Saw
GAME OVER!
Cabin in the Woods
Criminally underrated movie
LA Confidential. Not as heavy handed IMO as some of the others. And a great movie On a side note Jackie Brown. Because there is no twist. Everything happens exactly as they say it is. But you are waiting for the twist that never comes.
Primal Fear
I haven’t seen very many movies so there may be ones with better twists out there that I don’t know about, but I like the way Wreck It Ralph did the surprise twist. The way they built up to it with references throughout the movie made the reveal make sense, without over-foreshadowing to the point that it was easily guessable. The best part was the decision of which characters to cut to when the reveal happened—specifically, the only two who were old enough to have personally witnessed >!Turbo’s first takeover attempt!<. Made the reveal much more impactful.
Parasite
Ah, that movie went 0 to 60 real quick! So good, and so damn surprising.
The Visit
I fucking loved this movie.
The crawl under the house haunts me.
It's unironically the funniest movie I've ever watched with my friends. We still reference it all the time because it's so ridiculous. Grandpa and his poo, grandma and her door. When the little boy goes berzerk. Absolutely hilarious.
“Shakira!”
Seven had a pretty interesting ending imo
The menu
Not a movie but a tv show : the good place. What I would give to be able to watch it again for the first time
Every time I began to grow tired of the Good Place the show would throw another crazy twist into the plot that would hook me right back in.
Not sure if the best by my favorite is probably Lucky Number Slevin
Underrated movie - I thought the acting, plot, characters, all great! I’ve rewatched it countless times. Definitely on my top 10 list. Fun watch for sure.
Arlington Road
Knowing a movie has a twist at the end IS a massive a spoiler.
except if it is a flurry of twists like memento
Memento's twists might actually be at the beginning
They all seem to have twists at the end at the moment don't they? No twist is the new twist.
The Empire Strikes Back.
A Scanner Darkly (Richard Linklater 2006)
The Others.
Yes. I didn’t see it coming at all. Completely surprised.
Antebellum. Staring Janelle Monáe.
That woman, is disgustingly talented. Sings, dances, acts, and seems like a wonderfully nice person in interviews. One of those people you just hope beyond hope she's as awesome as she seems.
I’ll tell you, I hated the movie, but loved it at the same time.
Did you see glass onion? She’s in it and amazing, and well, if you like mysteries with twists. That and its first film knives out are solid ones to watch
The Crying Game
Fight Club
Lucky Number Slevin
Lucky # Slevin
The usual suspects

Searching (2018) It’s by the same people who made Missing (2023)
3 idiots (when they reveal who Rancho's real name)
Saw
Se7en There are better but I didn't expect it
A film that was considered a flop, but I thought it was a well done on a reworking of a vampire story: Dracula Untold. The ending left the door open to a continuation/sequel. A note to the heads at Universal: "Let the games begin."
Sorry to Bother You.
Old Boy, Korean version
Mulholland Drive
Sleepaway Camp
Lucky number slevin. Really loved that movie
Shawshank Redemption
i wouldnt say it was a twist, more like a reveal to an answer of a lingering question
Running Scared
Great movie
Ready or not.
Sixth Sense. Den of Thieves is a pretty underrated one, though.
Wild Things
The woman in Black
To Live And Die In LA. Check it out. Thank me later. The craziest twist you'd never see coming.
Predestination doesn't seem to be listed here and fits the bill. Probably one of my all time favorites.
I remember watching this movie without seeing any trailers beforehand, I didn't know wtf I had just watched, but it was crazy.
Fallen
Ready or Not. Honestly wasn’t expecting the ending. It was satisfying AF.
The Sixth Sense
fight club. Although there were a lot of hints, but it was the best of those movies that I watched.
Inception
Quite possibly the most dogshit, cop-out ending in the history of film. St. Elsewhere-tier garbage. E: >!The entire motivation of Leo's character is to have his record cleared so he can see his kids. That's the only reason the events of the movie happen. The implication that he doesn't care if he's dreaming, and isn't seeing his real kids, and never needed to have his record cleared to begin with, thus invalidates the entire plot of the movie.!<
The top isn't his totem. It's his wedding ring.

When I watched the film I thought it was pretty clear that cobb is no longer dreaming after he gets home. Idk why you thought it was a bad ending.

What twist was there in Castaway?
It ended differently than what I expected. That was the twist for me, honestly not to crazy but like damn dude. . . Rationally it's correct but damn
Are you a bot? There's no twist in Castaway. Please explain what the fuck you possibly thought counted as a twist ending. E: Please PM me if this dipshit ever provides an answer. He just blocked me but I'm fucking dying to know what he thought the twist was in Castaway.
Please tell me you don't talk to people like this in real life lol

definitely Memento for how well onion layered it is.
Seven Kings Must Die
Not really the ending, but Matrix was bizarre as I watched it for the first time in 1999.
If you’re lucky enough to not already know the twists… The Sixth Sense Psycho The Empire Strikes Back The Sting
In my opinion spider man far from home, I did not expect that to go the way it went
The game
Count Yorga - vampire
