not really a twist ending but i really dug the ending to seven samurai. when the tables have turned between the farmers and the samurai i could only say "damn....that's fucked up"

Yep both of those were good.... as are all the ones mentioned including Vanilla Sky. Also, who knows if anyone has seen it but me, April Fools Day had a good twist. And I seem to recall that Just Cause had a good twist to it.

I'm suprised no one else has mentioned it, but I really enjoyed Jacob's Ladder. What did anyone else think?

The Usual Suspects did have a cool twist ending but i really loved how it all turned out in Memento.

That was a crazy ending ... or should i say beginning?

What about Fallen? It wasn't a shocking twist at the end, but it was pretty good.

The Spanish Prisoner, Memento, Basic, Swordfish, but Usual Suspects is still the best.

No, <i>Abre Los Ojos</i> (the real version of the movie) had a good twist that Vanilla Sky REALLY botched.
a very good one that i loved was this unwrapping, not quite twist ending movie called Donny Darko. Sadly, it was not exactly released to movie theaters. Was taken out right after 9/11 for a jet liner scene.

Ok, so it was a great standup comedy movie, but a Twist ending? yah, he is a transvestite, but you were told that at the beginning! was it the french that caught you off guard?

(I poke badgers with spoons.)

ghost ship was unoriginal indeed. but the ending wasn't that big of a surprise. it's given away halfway the movie imho.

sleepaway camp was a horrormovie with a "twist" ending.
brrr it scarred (and scared) me at age 14

In no particular order

IDENTITY - Great fuckin flic!!! A must buy on DVD for me. I suspected the twist early but wrote it off only to find out I was right. 3 thumbs up.

SEVEN - I would of done the same exact thing.

USUAL SUSPECTS - HAIL TO THE GIMP

WILD THINGS - Besides seeing Kevin Bacon's schlong ....good twist after twist.

FRAILTY - Very Very clever movie, didn't expect it at all.

and any episode of "The Prisoner" (especially on mushrooms)

Good call on Sleepaway Camp. That one still disturbs me.

Memento had a great ending, and was a great movie all around...

The "end twist" that I remember the most was the Sixth Sense... I didn't really like the movie a whole lot until the twist at the very end, and that completely changed my mind about the movie because it was a great twist...

I liked the ending of the first Scream movie too... the next two movies sucked, but I enjoyed the first one because it was semi-original.

A lot of us around here have seen this movie called Donnie Darko. :)

Still a big fan of the ending in Diggstown. Not exactly a "twist" per se, but it was unexpected...

I'm still a sucker for the over-acting in Planet of the Apes.

Also, Lynch's Mulholland Drive had me smiling.

Good call!! When I saw that movie and that twist at the end, I literally stood up and yelled "HELL YEAH!!!!". I got a few looks, but it was toooo badass to just sit there (it was rented, not in a theatre).

gotta go with fight club as the best.
although there's something about mary has a pretty good twist ending.

Unusual suspects, sixth sense, SNATCH!@12

while this wasn't a surprise/clever type ending like most of these, the ending of american history x was powerful and unexpected, at least to me. i really thought it was going to turn out differently, maybe i was being too optimistic for that film.

edit: here's a better answer, 12 monkeys.

the game with michael douglas was pretty good, nice twist.

I think it was the Sixth Floor. Quite an interesting movie and it was pretty nifty. Least I thought I did. And it did the whole Matrix thing BEFORE the matrix...

Usual Suspects Fight Club Snatch and T3 and many more I can't think of

Spoiler, but hey, when Ice Cube walks in at the end of "Ghosts of Mars" holding two submachineguns, and says something like "Time to kick some ass", that was a twist ending, because it turned a decent popcorn movie into complete and utter crap.

It was always balancing on the limit between "B-movie" and "Unholy Crap", but Ice Cube strolled right in and tipped it into the "Unholy Crap" category.

Yay, go rappers in movies. "Leprechaun in the Hood", seen that one?

I felt this same exact way about Event Horizon. I thought that the begining of the movie was great...the whole mystery about where the ship had been and what happened to the crew. Then outta left field they tell you "By the way, the ship has been to hell, and you all are going to die". I remember thinking "wtf??" Blah...terrible end to a movie that had great potential.

Fight Club and The Usual Suspects are the 2 that blew me away. I wish I hadn't know about The Empire Strikes Back before I watched it. oh well...

I'm going with Momento. That was sort of the beginning though, and not the end...

i personally would have to go with RESERVOIR DOGS.

I think im the only person the face of the earth that hasn't seen fight club.

But on the topic, Donnie Darko. Seriously, go rent it if you haven't seen this movie, this is one of the best movies i've ever seen, it just picked the worst possible time in the history of mankind to come out (9-11 attacks, has a small part with a sort of jet crash, you'll know what I mean when you see it). Really lame how it didnt get any publicity.

Seven, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, Vanilla Sky, 12 monkeys, Jacob's Ladder, American Beauty, and The Game. Most of these have already been named but I loved everyone of them and own most. I'm sure there are a ton but these are just some of the bigger ones that came to mind.

I liked the Ending to Fallen with Denzel Washington. If you havent heard of it, you really should take some time to see it...

I'll add Matchstick Men to the list now.

empire strikes back
donnie darko
fight club
usual suspects
blair witch 2: book of shadows

yeah i have.... lol it was hilarious... btu i dont think they were going for comedy

The second-half of Adaptation is absoluetly horrible unless you get the joke, then it's hilarious. Someone explained the joke to me while I was watching it- good thing or else I would have hated it. Yep, nothing beats Usual suspects. When Vanilla Sky came out I rented Abre Los Ojos and watched that instead. Still haven't seen Sky to this day and don't plan on watching it.

The 6th Sense was def the best twist ending... i didn't see it coming and it just made the whole movie!!

I think What Lies Beneath with Harrison Ford had the best twist ending, i know some ppl thought it was just a chick flick but i thought the suspense was pretty good.

Unbreakable? slow movie but great ending.

usual suspect is my personal fav- as for sixth sense- I waited for video- carefuly avoiding any info on the plot twist, paitiently waiting- then, on the day it came out on video, the dj of the local rock station says in passing, "the movie the sixth sense comes out on video today," and then completely blew the ending.... just that fast- without warning... I seriously considered hunting him down with a cheese grater...

I thought Basic had a great twist in the
