Lol yeah thats him, but i loved this film he was actually good in it

I thought he was pretty good in Twilight too. I know people hate it but I thought it was a decent film. Haven't seen the rest yet.

I was surprised with the ending of David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB

Read the books if you haven't already, I'm assuming you haven't though seeing as you like those films lol.

- The Sixth Sense
- The Others
- Fight Club
- The Village
- Runaway Jury
- The Prestige
- The Number 23

I saw this thread and thought more of endings that genuinely came as a surprise rather than mere "last-minute plot twist" endings. Case in point - No Country for Old Men had such a surprise ending I watched the entire credits roll wondering if that was really it.

Identity had a cool twist, I thought.

Dead Again and Primal Fear, too.

Fight Club, and Brainscan

Primal Fear, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, etc

Fight Club
Saw
Shutter Island

Deadite is making me upset.

Haven't gone through the whole thread but has anyone mentioned Psycho or any Hitchcock movies? It's a shame people think of M. Night as the surprise ending guy when Hitch was the master. Also, there's a difference in a twist ending and surprise ending. M. Night twists everything you thought you knew about the story / characters at the last second while Hitchcock is more well thought out and leads you where he intends.

For example, an M. Night movie could be written without a twist in mind and then on the last day of shooting it could be implemented (twist). Hitchcock's movies have to be planned out from day one for all the pieces to come together (surprise).

Anyway, Planet of the Apes rules all.

I didn't love the village, but it gets my vote. That ending totally got me.

Yes, Identity deffinatly had a very suprising twist of a ending, and I know this isn't a movie but there's a Twilight Zone episode called To Serve Man, I think that was the title of the episode, and that has a awesome twist at the end.

Has anyone mentioned the movie The Game yet? The ending suprised the hell out of me.

Planet of the Apes always gets my vote too. I can still kinda remember the first time I saw it as a kid and the ending hadn't been spoiled for me yet. Totally blew my mind.

Made it interesting to go back and watch the scene where Heston is looking at the maps of the Forbidden Zone with Cornelius. You can see a very distorted view of Manhattan and Long Island drawn there. Nothing you'd catch without knowing the ending, but pretty interesting nonetheless!

its got to be the sixth sense i love that movie

The Illusionist



Those of you who have seen it will know what i'm talking about.
