Best Twist Endings

[SPIDERMAN117]

There some really good ones here. But did anyone really think Tony Stark would reveal to the world he was Iron Man?

 

[YoungE808]

Lol not really. I actually remember being surprised to an extent that Sam used the All Spark to destroy Megatron in Transformers.

I still stand by Saw I though. Who could have foreseen that?

 

[X-Ray]

Campfire Tales. It had a nice twist at the end. Kind of saw it coming after the first tale.

War. The first twist was awesome. No one saw it coming. The movie should have ended after that.

 

[karnyboy]

Of all time, the usual suspects.
I like oldboys twist, but kinda seen it coming.

Oh man, Usual Suspects was THE best.

My list is pretty close to these already posted.

Usual Suspects
Fight Club
Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Se7en
Planet of the Apes (original)

 

[nite-owl]

Lol not really. I actually remember being surprised to an extent that Sam used the All Spark to destroy Megatron in Transformers.

Which never made much sense to me since he was told not to give the All Spark to Megatron.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The Prestige

The Long Good Friday (epic movie, any fans of London crime films and Bob Hoskins MUST watch this)

Se7en

The Usual Suspects

 

[gwynplaine]

Soylent Green.

 

[TLH]

Shawshank Redemption. Maybe a bit of a stretch here, but who the hell expected...

Spoiler

Andy to suddenly escape through a hole behind the poster? It came out of left field. We were made to think he was going to commit suicide.

...I know it's not quite the end of the movie, but it's close enough. I think it deserves at least a small mention.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Saw, Saw II, Frailty and The Mist are some of my favorite twist or shocking endings.

 

[SuperBatman]

I'm surprised not a lot of people have said Identity.

 

[weezerspider]

Fight Club
Sixth Sense
The Departed

 

[elgato]

Love Me If You Dare

 

[shopaholic10]

The Others (2001)-Nicole Kidman
Harry potter 6 (2009)

 

[JINoside]

Yep! Nothing like heavy breathing, a severed head, a naked chick, and a guy wearing a mask of said naked chick.

OMG

I bought & saw this movie for the first time 3 years ago and i have to say that NO movie ending has scarred me as bad as this one did. Truly a twisted ending, but you kinda killed it for those that haven't seen it though.....

 

[tyler-durden]

I was going to ask what movie that was for but I'd rather not know no so I won't ruin the ending for myself, but know I'll never know what movies it's for.

Someone, has had to say Memento.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I have to agree about Primal Fear. I saw that in the theater when it first came out and was blown away. That was my first exposure to Edward Norton, of course, and he was brilliant.

 

[Max J Power]

The Empire Strikes Back--one of the best twists ever, but I was born too late for it not to be ruined
Seven--very chilling
The Departed--a really exciting climax
The Usual Suspects--I need to rewatch it to see how it holds up but I remember being pretty blown away when I first saw it.
The Prestige--Again, I need to rewatch and reevaluate it, but I liked it a lot in the theater
The Sixth Sense--I used to watch this movie a lot when I was younger, and I always liked how the twist built up.
Unbreakable-same

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Angel Heart

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

American Psycho. was he imagining it, or actually REALLY killing people?

 

[Bim]

I'm surprised not a lot of people have said Identity.

Completely agree! i never expected that one.

I must add:
- Psycho
- The Crying Game

 

[Figs]

Soylent Green.

I have to agree about Primal Fear. I saw that in the theater when it first came out and was blown away. That was my first exposure to Edward Norton, of course, and he was brilliant.

Although just about everyone has listed some damn good picks, these two are great.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

eastern promises

 

[Hotwire]

Had to add this one to my list.
Fracture

 

[pixeltastic]

i agree with so many already listed, but hands down primal fear is at the top for me.

 

[The Chairman]

Angel Heart

Nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers that one.
