October 30, 201213 yr Total Films Rates these as the 10 best movie twists. 10. Citizen Cane (1941) 9. Planet of the Apes (1968) 8. Soylent Green (1973) 7. Fight Club (1999) 6. Saw (2004) 5. Empire Strikes Back (1980)4. Psyco (1960) 3. Se7en (1995) 2. The 6th Sense 1. The Usual Suspects IMO Soylent Green is a horrible movie, but all of the rest are great movies. Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember walking away shocked at the end of Empire Strikes Back.A couple of movies that I liked that had a twist ending were Presumed Inocent, Primal Fear, and Secret Window. Any others out there?? So you knew Darth Vader was Luke's father, or had an idea that he was? I agree it wasn't as impactful as some of these others but it was still a very good twist.
October 30, 201213 yr The Prestige This movie is fantastic, and also a great choice for this list. Not many of my friends have seen this, but they are missing out!
October 30, 201213 yr This movie is fantastic, and also a great choice for this list. Not many of my friends have seen this, but they are missing out! The Prestige is very good. It is has so many twists throughout it probably should be #1 on a list of movies with twists.

October 30, 201213 yr This was one of the first ones that came to my mind. :thumb: I rented this one several years back without knowing anything about it, except that I'm somewhat of a John Cusack fan. As I was watching, I kept thinking, "this seems familiar to me". Then I realized about 2/3 of the way through it was very similar to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Great book. Came to find out later that the screenplay for Identity was pretty directly inspired from the book.
October 30, 201213 yr What?? How does Titanic not make the list?? Who knew that boat was gonna sink?!?

October 30, 201213 yr Crash was a great study of human character. Agreed. Great movie. ...I guess I'd call that a "twist" at the end, although not in the sense that I usually think when I hear "plot twist".
October 30, 201213 yr The Sixth Sense was a stunning ending. And since it is almost Halloween....The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. :lol:
October 30, 201213 yr The Departed Absolutely love the departed. Hat ending was just intense, still one of my favorite movies.
