Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I was looking for.
The Planet of the Apes is a good twist but it's become so famous like Sixth Sense that almost everyone knows it now. Even more so because it's an image that can be taken out of context and has a clear meaning even for those who didn't see the film.
Arlington Road - good film, great twist. Yes I'll agree it's not a fun little thriller but it is a proper thriller, a 90s thriller like they don't seem to make anymore.
Primal Fear, another one I had forgotten. That's one of the absolute best super shocking twists in an otherwise so-so film that I don't think anyone could have seen coming. The nearer the end of the film the twist is the better I think so it's in your head when you leave/finish it and you'll be thinking of it for days.
I don't remember it too well but I didn't much care for Jacob's Ladder. I think I felt that it was vague and trippy enough that it had license for pretty much anything and everything to happen in a sort of David Lynch way.
The Vanishing, very good film! What a Spoiler: nightmarish ending! Of course the original one was way better. That Spoiler: "happy ending" of the remake one was dreadful but I saw it first so I didn't know until I saw Spoorloos!
And of course, Jean de and Manon des - excellent films with a wonderful twist that pays off all the better because it's been so long coming. Though I remember feeling very pleased with myself for guessing it maybe 15 mins before it was revealed so maybe not one of the most shocking and outlandish twists but profound and staggering for those involved all the same.
