All the "Saw" movies have a plot twist (Haven't seen the fourth installment), but the end of "Saw II" made me

Brazil
I will never, EVER, watch that movie again. The rumors are that Gillium's latest makes Brazil look like The Care Bears Movie.
I'll also add "Sleuth". The original with Michael Cain is just great and chock full of twisty goodness.
For nice, shlocky, twist and turn flicks, I'd give half a nod each to the original "FX" (none of the sequels thanks), and the first film version of Death Trap, the one with Dianne Cannon. It worked better as a play, but still holds strong as a movie. Another Michael Cain powerhouse, he and Chris Reeves deliver great tension throughout.

A third +1 for fight club, the ending was just... it made so much sense but was confusing at the same time.
to whoever said City of God...correct me (pm) if I'm wrong, but wasn't there not a huge plot twist? Great great great flick, but the biggest twist I can think of is when the camera twists around the main character (photographer, Rocket?)
Wow. No one mentioned Darth & Luke in Empire Strikes Back yet?!?!?
There was not an unblown mind in the theater when that one dropped 25+ years ago.
One of the most oft mentioned twists in film history.

It's not twisted in a torture movie sense (i.e. saw series), but it's like if that happened to you (the ending) you'd go insane

More like the worst, I didn't see it coming.
Don't ask me why I was watching it.. :scowl:

Yeah "The Usual Suspects" for me is in my top ten movies, hands down. I did like The Sixth Sense s well. It's nice that we have these gems as compared to a lot of the fodder that is out anymore
