kamobe, same as me i seen it the day it was released i only went to see because something else was booked out. It blew my mind away i was told it was a comedy so wasnt expecting much.

The one near the end of Empire Strikes Back

Have you been living under a rock for the past 20 years to even bother reading this you muppet?

LOL!

Haven't seen it yet but Angelheart with Mickey Rourke is supposed to have a savage twist at the end.

irishgeo · 03-02-2003 6:07pm

the usual suspects and have to say arlington road as thought he would save the FBI building not blow it up. The realisation hit when the FBI guy goes the only not authorised to be here is you.

Man, I love this thread. Memento has to win cause it throws you around the place with twist after twist through the whole movie, excellent. Of course the Usual suspects coz I didn't even know who Kevin Spacey was when I first watched it and I thought he might actually be a cripple, thats down to great acting though. And the Arlington Road twist was just magic

Arlington Road was particularly clever in the way it tied up all loose ends with the media coverage at the end. Faraday had a motive, and witnesses who heard him say that they were going to pay.... very well done.

Exorcist

When Linda twists her neck

Beetlejuice

When he twists his neck around the staircase

I'd like to nominate Clue (1985), for its very end scene wtih Tim Curry. Oh ya.

everyone killed someone except the butler who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent. It actually got very complimacated towards the end wit lots of twists.

Ahh good old rte showing the classics!

davej · 04-02-2003 5:02pm

Nine Queens was interesting in that you knew that there was a twist but you're still kept guessing right to the end.

Although I saw through The Others quite quickly a lot of people I know were surprised by the outcome.

The Vanishing (1988) has an extremely chilling ending which I won't mention anything about. I know everyone reads the spoilers anyway!

Spunog UIE · 08-02-2003 5:21pm

ya they did and its a classic but use spolier tags you little **** so you don't ruin it for anyone yet to see it!

Typedef · 08-02-2003 5:38pm

In no particular order.

Traffic.
Dr Strangelove.
The Graduate.
Swimming with Sharks.
The Usual Suspects (of course).
The Player.

Snatch ... well constructed film
Blair witch project... the ending was tert and well done.
Pulp fiction ... had a decent twist in the middle.... zed's layer of fun and such.

They made three endings - whichever one you got to see depended on when you went to see it. Or that was the idea. They're all on the video.

Spunog UIE · 08-02-2003 11:46pm

heh heh thats mad.

johnnynolegs · 10-02-2003 1:28pm

the usual suspects definitely has the best ending

Cake Fiend · 10-02-2003 2:35pm

Lads, don't put the spoiler tags in tbh. Luckily enough I've seen all the movies that people have put spoilers in for, but some people who haven't mightn't be able to resist the temptation to highlight. Anyone who's seen the movies will know what you mean by 'the twist', so there's no point in even typing out what the twist is.

karma kabbage · 18-02-2003 2:44am

vanilla sky was great. All over the place! mad i tell you. it would take too long to even say the spoiler. apparently the mexican version was pretty bad but for once hollywood seemed to get it right!?! despite tommy boy (who i ain't too fond of) that film rocked

Minority Report
Why he was murdering someone he [/B]

I figered out Minority Report in the first 5 - 10mins

the film being compared to jekyl and hyde in every review that i read/watched kind of ruined the twist for me

still one of my favourite films ever anyway

kaimera · 20-02-2003 7:46pm

/me goes along with the crowd..

Usual Suspects

Traffic is great.

Fight Club

There's a twist?? Or were you just not paying attention when she was at the doctor's?

From Dusk Till Dawn has a great twist. It seems like a hostage/getaway film until they come across a bar full of vampires. Fu*king brillant.

awweb · 24-02-2003 9:53pm

Yeh definately MOMENTO .. all the zigging and zagging .. ahh dizzy

Vanilla Sky has a nice twist too .. but as previously posted its gotta be the Usual Suspects out there in front ..

Best Twist?
