Watching 'The Usual Suspects' did it for me. More so the second time around. Even when I knew the ending I still found my heart racing, probably because I understood what was going on more.
Since then I have sought out films and books with a twist to them. Fight Club, Invisible Monsters (which I thought delivered on so many levels,) The Shawshank Redemption, Seven and even Saw all floated my boat. The more I find things that satisfy my need however, the harder it is to find something that delivers on this front.
I like surprises, but I am not usually that into horror because that seems to play on the suspense of you knowing that something is going to happen, rather than catching you unaware.
