Best Movie Plot Twists

Sign in to disble this ad
As the title suggests, what are your favourite/IYO best plot twists in a movie? Keep spoilers to a minimum so it doesn't ruin the movie for people who haven't seen it.

My vote goes to The Usual Suspects.

A someone who rarely watches ghost movies I thought The Others had a great plot twist in it.

Matchstick Men too

Arguably one of the best of all time. I agree with you.

Haha no need to apologize! I just don't want people to read this thread and realize the twist. That would freaking suck.

I need to see The Mist, I've heard great things.

My friend (also very movie-intelligent) said that was one of the most sick and twisted movies he's seen.

That may be one of the reasons why I like it so much.

I haven't seen the Others, but Matchstick Men was pretty good. One of my favourite Nic Cage movies.

Another of my favourites for plot twists is Jacob's Ladder. Excellent movie.
