Shattered starring Tom Berenger, Gretta Scacchi and Bob Hoskins.
I loved guessing the twist in films, Sixth Sense, pah easy got that within 5 mins, but this little beauty at the end of Shatterted totally caught me unaware.
Its not a great film, its a good old fashioned noir/detective type film, but see if you can guess the twist before it happens.

The Usual Suspects was another one that kept me guessing, and although I got the twist before it happened, the film left me deep in thought for hours after.

After David shoots everybody with him, believing it was the end of the world, and then to get out of the car only to realise the gigantic insects were being bombed or whatever...
I was just like, whoa. Didn't expect that one.
That is one I picked

The thing about the Mist was, was every one was predicting a happy ending. This movie had a real ending. People who watch movies predict either happy endings or endings with a twist, the Mist had neither. Thats why i think the ending to it was so surprising.

For me, when this question is asked, the image that pops into my brain is The Sting (1973):



WARNING: "The Sting" spoilers below
when Newman and Redford apparently kill each other, well I never saw it coming. The setup with the scenes between Redford and Dana Elcar was totally convincing. In a movie filled with twists and turns this last twist, flabbergasted me (I love that word).
