Best twist ending? (spoilers inside!)

I have just finished watching my shiny, new Usual Suspects DVD and you just gotta love that ending! I was thinking it has got to be one of, if not the, best twist ending ever.

I can't think of a better one, can you?

Ghost Ship... just watched it yesterday, unoriginal movie so when the (original) twist ending shows up it took me completely by surprise.
Also a great use of Mudvayne

I had no intention of ever watching this movie, but this mention of Mudvayne has intrigued me, i may just rent this movie now.

Oh and I liked Swordfish's ending.

Empire Strikes Back
Fight Club
Memento
The Ring

Psycho
 
In Scobbie Doo where the villian turned out to be Scrappy. That was cool. No really a ending but in Equilibrium, but when John Preston fought Brandt, I thought it was cool how it was handle.

Frailty has a pretty good twist to it. But for it's time, Psycho probably had one of the best twist endings. I mean come on, in the 60s, who would have guessed?

The Sixth Sense
good twist

Of course, finding out Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father was good too,
back when Empire Strikes Back originally came out.

Usual Suspects is a tough one to beat for sure. I recently rented a pretty good movie which had and ending that I found to be pretty suprising and twisty; The Live of David Gale.

I see The Usual Suspects is mentioned a lot. The first movie that comes to mind is the movie with Kevin Spacey playing a cripple but turning out to be some super bad guy. Is that movie The Usual Suspects? I never did catch the beginning of the movie, and I saw it on TV once.

I never saw the end to American Beauty. Could you or someone fill me in on the end? I ask because I'll likely never watch the movie again.

Psycho had one of the best twist-endings, but also had the best twist-middle (a concept rarely used - I guess that president movie with the dead Segal did it)

People that went into Psycho on the opening weekend were completely in the dark about the shower murder and everything after it. You expect the girl to be the main character, and then bam - she's gone.

I really liked the ending to Frailty, that was a really weird but original movie. The ending didn't ruin the movie at all, and I think it actually made it a hell of a lot better.

Yup. That's The Usual Suspects. Way to go and ruin the ending on any sorry soul who hasn't yet seen it!

For sh'ts and giggles, I will now include the worst twist ending to a movie.

Minority Report.

*SPOILER*

Tom Cruise should have stayed dead/stasis'ed.

It's been so long since I've seen Primal Fear I can hardly remember how effective the ending was. I seem to recall it being pretty good though. I'm going to have to see that movie again.

I loved Pi's ending, but then I loved the whole movie. What a concept... the divine might be dangerous for us mortals. Used to be a common idea, now is all but forgotten.

well, when I limit this list to movies I've seen, The only ending that actually suprised me had to have been Unbreakable. (which is amazing considering that I watched it about two years after it came out....)

I have to go with the M. Knight films - even Signs had a good solid "twist" ending.

Wild Things. I like how they filled in all the holes during the credits, too.

Worst twist was High Crimes. If you couldn't see THAT coming...

If you've never heard of the Book-a-Minute and Movie-a-Minute sites, they're pretty funny. They cram the works down to just a few sentences. Here's how they did Wild Things:
Quote:
(There is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST. Then there is a PLOT TWIST.)

THE END

Usual Suspects, Primal Fear, Wild Things, Unbreakable.... I didn't think the end of the Sixth Sense was all that much of a twist. In fact, all the way through the movie I was figuring on it, so it was a bit disappointing.
