What is the best twist you've seen in a movie?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! Without telling what the twists are, the movies I like are: The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, Inception, The Usual Suspects. Some twist endings are so surprising and some aren't. One movie that seems to have 10 twists in it is Wild Things, so many that it gets confusing. Did you like the twist in the movie or does it ruin it for you?

Well the most unexpected twist since the six sense was in the movie the Book of Eli. the movie was beautifully directed and the twist totally blew my mind.

The Book of Eli looks like a cool movie. I'll make sure to watch it when it comes on. The Sixth Sense seems to be on a lot of people's lists.

haven't seen any of them, but Wild Things... I guess you are talking about the movie "Where the Wild Things Are" that is based on picture book, so any twists are probably totally created for the movie

I was talking about an "adult" movie with Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillon. They are a bunch of con artists.

There are movies that have nice twists in it. The bests movies like that for me so far is The Sixth Sense and The Others. It really took me a while to suspect that things are not what they seemed to be. The latest is movie I like is Salt. Never suspected about the antagonist. Have a nice day!

The Sixth Sense was a major twist movie. Everybody talked about it. Both movies you mentioned were pretty good at tricking the audience. I haven't seen Salt but I probably will eventually. Happy MyLotting!

I Thought the sixth sense thing was cool too. But the thing was nobody really talked about IT. We went after they had been showing it a couple weeks and I was so surprised by the ending but even more surprised that I hadn't heard through rumors and the grapevine what the twist was. It was great that no one spoiled it for the people that hadn't seen it.

These movies had the best twist endings - The Sixth Sense, the first Saw movie, the original Planet of the Apes, Identity, Sleepaway Camp, The Others.

Planet of the Apes did have a pretty shocking twist. The twist in Identity was cool too. I haven't seen Sleepaway camp (maybe the 3rd one) I think I might know the ending but I'll have to wait until it comes on again. I wonder what Saw 7 will have as their twist ending. I think they might be out of ideas though.

The best film ever for twists is the saw films. Even after so many films, you still habe no idea what the final twist is, until it happens! It adds a new dimension to the films! With the saw films, you really cannot assume anything, even if you see it on screen!

I love SAW!! I watched all 6 series.. and I'm so waiting for Halloween this year for SAW 7 or SAW 3D to be released!!!
• Canada

That's a good one! I can't believe how many Saw movies there are but I still like to watch them. I really like how they reveal the twist to you, they have that certain music at the end.

I recommend everyone to watch Orphan (18+) it's got an awesome twist but I really don't want to spoil it for anyone. It's quite extreme, probably not for the light hearted, just so you know ;)

From the commercials I can tell that,that girl is REALLY freaky. I hope it comes on so I can watch it. It looks like a very scary movie.

The Village. I was so shocked when the blind character reached the fence. Of how they are so left behind with the world.

M Night Shamalan sure loves twists in his movies. I haven't seen this movie all the way through but it's ending is very crazy. I'll probably try to watch it again. I don't think it did well in the theater but it's still interesting to watch.

Have you watched The Mist? You feeling sympathy for the good guys that try to run away from the monster. You will scream wtf in the end, the ending is insane and you will think of it for days!

Worst. Ending. Ever. I thought that was the most horribly sad ending ever, plus he didn't have to do it. That ending has quite the impact when you watch it. I don't want to watch it again though.

I like the ending of the film the Uninvited. It is not until the end of the film that you realize the other sister was not really there. I like it when the end of the film is a bit mindblowing. It makes the film worth watching.

I like to go through the movie and see how the characters were interacting. Obviously when it looks like someone is talking to both sisters, they are only talking to one. I think it's a pretty good movie.

I didnt read the 3rd book of Harry Potter before I watched the movie and when I was watching some of the scenes in the movie, I was amazed by the twist cause it was really something that I didnt expect.

I haven't watched many Harry Potter films but any movie with twists interests me.

I think the best movie with a twist that I've seen is Shutter Island. I don't think anyone expected it.

I finally saw that movie and the ending is like "OMG" I feel sorry for his character.

I think they have a Beach Boys song playing when they reveal the twist. It's a pretty weird movie and that mask that he wears is odd.

Dude, its the usual suspects WITHOUT DOUBT! Fight Club is a pretty cool twist to though I have to agree...The Sixth Sense has the kind of twist that seems really cool when you first watch it but gets less and less cool the more you watch the film. Is Wild Things the one with Neve Campbell...and is it Denise Richards too? I forget..I think Matt Dillon is in it too? am I right? I remember that movie..Vaguely..So I cant recall the twists right now...I do remember some girl on girl goings on though...It was NICE!!! *borat*

All those people you mentioned were in that movie. I used to watch the Usual Suspects a lot. The ending to that movie really blows your mind. The way he tells his story is ingenious!

The best twist i must say for me was in Prestige ,this masterpiece by Nolan was full of twists and turns , the fight of ego and vengeance was awesome, but the end was just great .Next for me is Shawshnk redemption, the movies just goes to another level after that twist, dont want to mention it here.The ending of sixth sense Memento and usual suspects was also something to be mentioned off.In case of Fight club and American psycho, the twists were good but it was bit predictable that the characters were having mental problem, though they were also superb movies as far as twists are concerned.I dont know many people liked or not but i loved the twist and ending of Nicole kidman starrer Dogville also quite very much.wild things was good too but i think Prestige had more twist and turns and they were more interesting. Twists in the movies are good if they are set up in an intelligent manner .

I want to watch the Prestige. It has good actors in it. I've only seen a little of Shawshank Redemption but it looks good too. Dogville is another movie I haven't seen but I think I might give it a go.

Yes!! I love twists in movies, though at times, you'll probably figure out the twist during the movie.. but it's still great to watch anyway! Yes, I love the sixth sense, fight club, wild things like you.. But one that I feel is the classic would be from a drama... Twin Peaks.. It's so confusing, and then you find out who killed Laura Palmer.. It's much more confusing that wild things.. OMG!! awesome!! It keeps you off your feet during the movie you know, and I do prefer to watch movies that have twists, although I still watch the movie anyway just because I've been watching it for a while.. But the ones with the twists are great and are the ones I enjoy watching most.

Twin Peaks looks like a very disturbing show to me. If they had it on I would probably watch it. It was pretty popular at the time. Thanks for your reply.

I loved "The Others" by Nicole Kidman. It had a very good twist to the story. I didn't expect that it would turn that way. I also liked The Sixth Sense.

I saw that movie in the theater. I thought the ending was pretty crazy. I also didn't expect it. Someone told me the ending to The Sixth Sense before I saw it in the theater, oh well, it was still cool to see it.

My word without a doubt "Angels and Demons" Believe me when you watch it (presuming u havent watched it yet) you wil be like wtf?!!!?! Even when I read the book I was literally jaw dropped Read any of Dan Browns books and believe me you will be taken for a surprise. The lost symbol by dan brown is superb. it has a damn good twist. Allthough hasnt been made in to a film YET. Hope a film releases soon.

I've only seen The Da Vinci Code. Maybe I will check out Angels & Demons. I bet they will make another movie for this series.
