Mystery films with lots of twists, any recommendations?

So I've always liked films like this, but I'm sure there are other great ones out there I've not seen. I'm talking about films like Deathtrap, Sleuth (the original), The Last of Sheila and Murder by Death. Sleuth I've always loved and Deathtrap I saw recommended here some time ago and it was a little gem, so a few more in a similar vein would be ideal.

I always loved the twist in The Game

I was going to mention The Last of Sheila. Very convoluted as far as I recall.

Charade is good fun, esp for the big twist.

Neil Jordan's The Crying Game has an 'excellent' twist......

Ones I love are:

Matchstick Men
Fracture
The Prestige
Lucky Number Slevin
Unbreakable (not the best movie in the world but still decent)
Inside Man
Fight Club
Shutter Island
The Machinist
American Psycho
The Usual Suspects
Sixth Sense

The Scary Door is endlessly surprising

Just a heads up that we will delete any links to full movies that are up on YouTube illegally. Just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean it is up there legitimately - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Apologies, I thought I'd linked trailers only but I must have added full movies?

Can Maddog please post videos in just one post as opposed to multiple ones?

The Life of David Gale is pretty good.

No, I prefer to let each movie recommendation stand on it's own legs.

You're right about The Life Of David Gale, great movie.

Try Dial M for Murder (the remake, A Perfect Murder, isn't too bad either). Hitchcock does twisty thrillers brilliantly, so if you haven't already, you should start watching some of his best - I've already mentioned Dial M, but also check out Rear Window, Shadow of a Doubt and Strangers on a Train. Patricia Highsmith, the author of Strangers on a Train also wrote The Talented Mr. Ripley which is one of my all time personal favourites.

More recently, 'Fracture', starring Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins is an underrated little gem.

I think I remember recommending Deathtrap to you a while back actually and if you liked that, you could do worse than picking up a Columbo box set and indulging in a marathon of that. The best sleuth ever committed to the small screen in my humble opinion

The Secret in Their Eyes has a great twist, I thought. As did the similar Tell No One. And if you want to go back a bit further, you might want to check out some twisty oldies such as: The Spiral Staircase, The Blue Dahlia, and Dead of Night.

Mindhunters

The Third Man in Lighthouse at moment, fantastic.

In a Hitchcock-y style vein is Les Diaboliques by H.G. Clouzot is a great creepy twisty film. A school headmaster's wife and his mistress join forces to bump him off, but things don't go exactly to plan. With hilarious consequences? Nope, spooky creepy consequences!

An old 90s one from me, Shattered starring Tom Beringer and Greta Scacchi. Still to this day one of the best twisted endings I've seen.

Presumed innocent with Harrison Ford also excellent. Funnily enough also stars Greta Scacchi.

Memento

BailMeOut

I guessed presumed Innocent half way through though at the dinner scene I think,

Identity isn't a bad one.

Earthhorse

Nine Queens (Nueve Reinas)

Really clever Argentinian film about con artists.

Where did she go? Thought she was fantastic.
