Whats the best twist ever in a film?

[CobraKitNu]

I keep hearing good things about ND, is it worth me watching?


(Thanks to the poster for the others twist btw. Pretty obvious really...)

 

[Mythical Tales]

A life changing moment for me! As a child sitting in the front row of Exeter's Odeon Screen One, I knew what I wanted to do the rest of my life. Make movies.

I know someone slagged it off earlier but, personally, I loved it. It's slow, meandering, hardly a plot, but if you find the guy who plays ND, with his nerdy mannerisms, funny then it's great.

 

[Hey Diddle Diddle!]

and i'm still waiting for the *twist* in the harry potter books to be that blokey who scarred harry turns out to be his father, a la star wars.

i've teased my wife mercilessly that harry potter is just star wars in a different setting, so i'd so love that to be what happens!

Hide and Seek has a good twist.

 

[*~*Iris C*~*]

Yes, is that the thing with the photo of him at the end? I didn't get that either.

Explanation would be appreciated!

Identity has an interesting twsit in it. Very unexpected.

Please don't flame me for a wasted post, but trying 'spoiler tags' before I post my real message

Spoiler

spoiler test, please disregard...

Memento stars Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano and is pure class. The main characters in Saw are mainly people I don't recognise, apart from Danny Glover.

Those two films have good twists. The Village has perhaps the stupidest (if that's a word) twist ever.

Spoiler

The village, which you expect to be set in the 19th century is in the middle of a park in the 21st century.

 

[Snoop S]

Woo Hoo, it worked...
I really like Fight Club, released same year as sixth sense, but everybody talks about SS and never mentions FC

Spoiler

I never twigged that Ed Norton never says what his name his until I watched it the second time....

 

[Korey W]

The sixth sense twist is RUBBISH! I guessed the ending from the blurb on the poster in the queue to buy tickets for it (I also told my boyfriend my theory, and he was not happy when I turned out to be right - he still says I spoilt it for him on purpose!)
The same goes for all M Night Shyamalan films - I do not get the big fuss about him at all!

The best two films for a twist are Fight Club and The Others. I had no idea what was going to happen in either of those.

 

[Kirsten A]

One good twist was The Truman SHow which I thought was quite good.

 

[ZeRo_cOoL]

Yeah, when you find out Truman is gay, I was shocked!

 

[C-C]

How do you 'read' spoilers then?

Cheers

 

[eurobeatlover]

Just highlight them by click and drag.

 

[Emmm]

I thought the twist in 'Identity' was good except right at the very end... if you've seen it you know what I'm on about

 

[Marina]

The end of Presumed Innocent.I don't believe anyone if they say they saw it coming.

 

[questionslove]

The Passion of the Christ, i didn't see that one coming at all

 

[FYOP- Ruler of none]

The Usual Suspects & Fight Club...

I would also say Vanilla Sky, although it's not a twist as such, but more left to your own interpretation (at least that's how it seemed to me).

 

[Stephii [:]

Reading through the posts it has to be the original Planet of the Apes. I would love to watch that again, havent seen it in ages.
