Mention the film but try not to mention the twist...

Fight Club.

The Others.




Sixth Sense gives itself away with the wife scenes.
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

You just see The Others recently by any chance?

Yeah, Fight Club was a good twist. I also didn't see the ending of The Mist coming.
Where the hell is that soothing music coming from?

Psycho Circus

At the end of "To Live & Die In L.A.", when Chance and Vukovich go to make their deal with Masters (and to nail him), Chance gets shot in the face. It is so unexpected and sudden, as he was the main protagonist of the film and it was at the very end. You think the good guys finally get their guy at that point, but no. Chance wanted revenge for the death of his original partner. It is then Vukovich that kills Masters. This film also has a massive twist bang in the centre which I thought was incredible.  :smile:

Here's the scene w/ alternate (crap) ending too:

YES




The ending of The Mist was less of a twist, more of a kick in the face !

The first SAW had an ending that absolutely caught me by surprise . . . . I was stunned and speechless! :buggedout:

I didn't see THE SIXTH SENSE coming, but I did see THE OTHERS coming.  Didn't see THE CRYING GAME coming (amd I kinda wish I hadn't seen it after I did).
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

D-Man

The Original SAW definitely had one of the better twist endings that I've seen. 

Mr. DS

Planet Of The Apes has the greatest twist ending of all time.  However, I was a late comer to the movie so I kind of knew about it.  Its one of those situation where I wish I didn't know.  My jaw would have dropped.

Haute Tension's ending comes to mind along with some already mentioned.

The usual suspects.

Also very nicely done job revealing the actual twist...

The ones I would have mentioned have already been mentioned. SIXTH SENSE and CRYING GAME. I didn't see either one coming. Or FIGHT CLUB.

When I saw the discussion about THE OTHERS I thought at first you guys were talking about THE OTHER (1972). I didn't see the ending coming of that one either. I haven't seen THE OTHERS so no spoilers please.

Only other recent movie that comes to mind is THE SWIMMING POOL, which I mentioned in the WTF? thread. They threw a twist in at the end that still doesn't make sense to me. Rather than make me review the events of the movie and say "Oh, is THAT what was happening!" It makes me review the movie and say "Now none of that makes any sense at all!"

Ah, I just remembered another oldie with a twist: THE STING (1973), a Robert Redford-Paul Newman flick. Great cast, excellent story, very satisfying movie. I didn't see that one coming either. I immediately watched the whole movie again to study the actors and see a different interpretation of every scene.

Maybe I just am really wide-eyed and innocent and never see these things coming.

DIRTY MARY,CRAZY LARRY...that ending p**sed me off!
VANISHING POINT....though Kowalski's fate was kinda a given...still a bummer.
DEAD AND BURIED
TWO LANE BLACK TOP had a non-ending to it.
BURNT OFFERINGS. No happy ending there.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
