Trying not to give away any endings or if necessary using Spoiler: spoilers in here like his, what films have the best twist endings?

The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn is a very good example: if I remember right, it has three or more twists and counter-twists stacked on each other at the end(!) but the best I can think of now is No Way Out (1987), an old political thriller starring Kevin Costner: Spoiler: everything gets turned on its head in the final few seconds of this film and you barely have time to recover before it ends. It's not one you could have guessed before you find out and it's not one that leaves you feeling cheated. There hasn't been a super-twist ending in a big film for years, it seems, but I think that could change with this summer's Inception - it's going to be one you'll have to see early to avoid hearing about and having it ruined, I think.
