Will it really shock you if you're expecting a shock, though?

Re: Plot twists that really shocked you.
 

Sure it will, cause i wont know where it'll be coming from in the plot.

Eden Lake (2008) has a shocking twist.

This is going to sound like bragging, but I kind of wish that I didn't see twists coming so often. I love the feeling of being surprised, but it's pretty rare for a film to have a twist that genuinely catches me off guard. I will say that I was lucky enough to see The Sixth Sense before its ending was blasted into pop culture awareness and it did genuinely shock me. These days it's hard to recommend a film with a twist because there are so many "Top 20 Greatest Plot Twists of All Time!" lists out there. Most people already know "the big twist" before even seeing a film.

Movies with plot elements that surprised me or took me off-guard (but please note I'm not saying that these are necessarily good movies and in some cases I'm just describing something I didn't see coming):
The Prestige (I guessed one big reveal early thanks to a ton of foreshadowing, but there are two or three surprises and one of them really got me)
The Invitation
Identity
The Visit
Dead Silence
Witness for the Prosecution
In the Dark Half
Shutter Island
Memento
Arrival
Ex Machina
Oldboy
The Invisible Guest
Upgrade
Session 9
Predestination

Oldboy really shocked me. I didn't understand the twist at first and someone else had to explain it to me after, but it was stills shocking.

Plot twists don’t usually tend to shock me, the only two exceptions being Eden Lake and Orphan. I’m amazed how long Orphan has stuck in my mind.

The Crying Game has a very shocking plot twist that I did not see coming on my 1st viewing. Very good movie.

For me, the sign of a good plot twist is that it's really rewarding to rewatch the film knowing what's coming. This is a reason that I really champion The Sixth Sense. Yes, it's really fun to get smacked by that twist. But even if you know what's up, it is a well-acted, well-written, and compelling film.

Oldboy definitely falls into this category. Rewatching it, knowing what's really going on, is borderline painful.

The fight to the death near the end of The Art of Self Defense...wouldn't have seen that coming in a million years.



Arthur Fleck's final appearance on The Murray Franklin Show in Joker...I sat there with my jaw dropped




Pretty much the entire second half of Parasite

Oh yes, to both.

Re: Plot twists that really shocked you.
 

How is the Arthur Fleck appearance on the show, a twist though?

Well, because for the entire film you watch him try and fail to get recognition.

Les Diaboliques

That's all I will say

I didn’t get this one either.

Re: Plot twists that really shocked you.
 

Talk to her

Good one though it’s been some years since I’ve seen it.

I too was completely shocked that



Anyway, I guess I can pull some titles of my own, but I'm going to put them in spoiler tags for obvious reasons. You've been warned.

The Skin I Live In's twist really shocked me to, although, I did see it coming about 30 minutes in advance. But I was still shocked that they went for it, even though I saw it coming, which is weird.
