The Planet of the Apes (1968) - Charlton Heston vs. Roddy McDowell. May the best man, er ape, win!
Funny Games (2007) - A near-frame-by-frame American remake of an Austrian movie about two psychotic young men who take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement. Both versions are as equally frustrating.
Chinatown (1974) - In addition to finding itself amongst movies with the biggest twists, it is also frequently seen on many "Best Movie Ever" lists.
Atonement (2007) - Say what you will about whether or not it is a good film, but that it belongs on this list can't be denied.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) - One of only a handful of films with a dream sequence that ever actually worked. Uh oh, hope we didn't spoil anything for you!
The Departed (2006) - Scorcese gets an Oscar for this twisty, turn-y gem. And a well deserved one, we might add.
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - Come on, everyone knows Darth Vader is Luke's father and Princess Leia is his sister, but not so many know where Chewbacca falls in the family tree.
Memento (2000) - The story could have been revealed in 18 minutes, but as it's told, it's 113 minutes of a twisted good time.
Swimming Pool (2003) - The ending of this erotic thriller will leave you wanting to watch the whole thing over again. But unfortunately, you'll need to watch it even a third time.
Frailty (2001) - Bill Paxton's directorial debut puts religion in its cross-hairs. One of the few axe murder films that effectively excludes tons of gore and blood.
The Others (2001) - Nicole Kidman stars in this intelligent horror film that proves buckets of blood and gross-out effects aren't necessary to tell a scary story. Oh, and of course there's that twist thing.
