Best twists of all time

I was just wondering what would you say was the best twist in a movie you've ever seen? Was it the ending of the Sixth Sense, or something else?

Why? Because you didn't expect it? Because it made you look at what had happened previously differently??

The Crying Game

Unfortunately, this style of movie has been done and remade so many times it has become cliche'.

wait until dark frightened me as a kid..

another one was breakdown...no idea what was going on until the end of the film

true true

a movie I love and was actually took by surprise the first time I saw it.

My top twist goes to Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca.

Posse, Vertigo, Great Silence also have great surprises.

Do The Wicker Man and Lost Highway qualify?

The ending to Taking Lives. I know that is probably not the best....it just is a great twist in my book.

DUDE

Usual Suspects

The only thing I can think of right now is Frailty.

I thought it was limp.

HECK YEAH man, the grand-daddy of plot twists! I was so surprised at the end of that movie it's funny. Truly a great film, and definately a great ending.

The Sixth Sense, it had me fooled till the end, amazing film

I'm gonna' have to go with "The Usual Suspects". Anybody who claims they saw anything even CLOSE to that ending coming is a liar. It was perfectly done.

Some others that I thought were great.....

1) Arlington Road (1999)
2) Devil's Advocate (1997)
3) The Sixth Sense (1999)
4) Suicide Kings (1997)
5) Frailty (2001)
6) Fight Club (1999)
7) Training Day (2001)

Heh heh... 'From Dusk Til Dawn': hell yeah! That twist was TOTALLY unexpected!
But it's not the best, and I have to agree that it had me fooled to the end... That and The Others... I know that it's practically the same as The Sixth Sense, but hey... it's a good thing... until the day comes when they've made too many 'Oh my god! I'm actually a ghost!' movies, I will still stand proudly by my remark...


When I've thought of more I'll come back and tell you... yes I will...

The Sixth Sense, and the Usual Supects I liked best because I never guessed the endings. Training Day was good but I sort of guessed it.

Memento
The Usual Suspects
Fight Club

in no particular order:
The Others
Usual Suspects
Army of Darkness
Seven
Shawshank Redemption
Memento
