No movie seems to stir up contentious debate faster than one with a trick ending the viewer didn't see coming (unless it's one of those ambiguous "make up your own ending" type movies.) I suppose we all like to think we can't be had or that we're seasoned movie veterans who've seen it all. Regardless, Hollywood still manages to get us from time to time, and we've listed them below.
Some are better than others, and many on one person's "best" list will fall squarely at the top of someone else's "worst" list.
The Crying Game (1992) - Check your manhood at the door. This intelligently written shocker caused quite the scene at many a theater back in its day.
The Sixth Sense (1990) - Besides having one of the biggest twists of all time, it also distinguishes itself as Shyamalan's only great film.
Soylent Green (1974) - It's people! (Can it be a spoiler some 30 odd years later?)
Fight Club (1997) - A stylish, sophisticated depiction of how to sell women their own fat. Oh, it's also a pretty good look at violent anti-social behavior too.
Primal Fear (1996) - Besides casting even more darkness on Catholic altar boys, it also propelled a young Edward Norton onto the Hollywood scene.
Arlington Road (1999) - Proof positive that a terrorist doesn't always look like a terrorist.
Oldboy (2003) - A great one to watch with your mom, or better yet, your sister.
The Usual Suspects (1995) - Besides featuring one of the best villain names of all time (Kaiser Soze), it also dropped one of the biggest twists in cinematic history.
Match Point (2005) - Was that really a Woody Allen piture? Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers star.
Psycho (1960) - Often emulated, but never duplicated, this one goes in the history books as not only having one of the biggest twists, but also one of the scariest movie scenes ever.
