The Usual Suspects ending goes down as the most omg moment I've had with a twist ending. And even better upon second viewing knowing what's coming and watching Spacey's performance. Primal Fear is also a well deserved addition to this list considering it was Norton's acting debut on film.

"The Crying Game". I watched it alone & recommended it to my husband. He watched it alone; I decided to go read in another room (to avoid spoiler-risk). Now, my hub is a pretty chill guy, not known for big, explosive emotions. However, I'll never forgot suddenly hearing "WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?" at the key point. Another one is the anime "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas". Our older daughter inherited my husband's stoicism; she rarely reacts to movies (she didn't even jump at the end of "Carrie"). However, when the twist came, she literally jumped out of her seat and screamed! Incidentally, I'm pretty much the Queen of the Non-Spoilers. I have trouble giving away plot points and twists even if flat-out asked! That's why I can't bring myself to even type the above-mentioned twists. Even older movies eventually will have first-time viewers. Watch them & enjoy them yourselves.

I remember watching The Usual Suspects with my dad. I'd already seen the movie and loved the surprise ending, which completely shocked me and I wanted to share that moment with him. So we're watching and a little more than half way through my dad just completely calls the ending. Stunned, I asked him how he knew and he rattled off a list of facts and clues in the movie. He didn't engage emotionally with movies so for him that facts were just staring him in the face the whole time. It was one of the moments I was most impressed with my dad lol.

Two movies that always seem to get overlooked for this type of list: "No Way Out" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

[@maximprikhodko8204]

I once watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels each day for two weeks. Sir Michael Caine's face (as Lawrence Jamieson) when Jane returns with a bunch of tourists is priceless. And of course Palpatine's "Welcome to hell." It's way better paced and much funnier than the original with Brando.

What was just dumb though was that the studio decided to spoil the big twist with an opening describing it for the theatrical release.

The twist in Coppola's The Conversation is one of the greatest, I think. The first time I saw it, I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach when it came: "He'd KILL us if he had the chance" vs. "He'd kill US if he had the chance."

@stevebernard4597 I mean they're completely different movies. If you're referring to the twist then sure but again they're very different. Slevin isn't really a twist ending because you don't even know what you're looking for. You're kind of along for the ride. Most people completely forget about the first scene because it was irrelevant. Until it wasn't

THE PRESTIGE actually has a gut-wrenching twist that almost every commentary keeps missing. Watch the scenes with Tesla carefully and you will learn that there's no way of knowing whether the original cat gets cloned and _THEN_ teleported, or if it gets cloned _WHILE_ it is teleported. This means the magician doesn't know if _HE_ will end up in the water tank, or if his _CLONE_ does. Will he be killing himself, or just his clone??? EXCELLENT use of a teleportation quirk!!!

Most of these movies, I saw years after release, and knew the twist before seeing it. I think the only movies here that I didn't know about when I saw them were The Empire Strikes Back, The Usual Suspects, and Fight Club because I saw them while they were still in general release - The Empire Strikes Back on opening night. These movies lose nothing in the knowing; I have seen them many times. It's not the twist that makes the movie, it's the story-telling. Some of these were simply masterful. With 30 entries to this list, there's one I don't remember being mentioned: Memento. I did figure it out, but not until about 15 minutes before the ending. Also, The Mirror Crack'd, starring Elizabeth Taylor and based on an Agatha Christie story. I saw it with my parents when it came out when I was 14, and my step-mother challenged me saying afterwards that I saw it coming. I pointed to a scene in the middle of the movie that told the whole story of the next hour. She was unhappy that I had foreseen the plot and she didn't. By that time, I had done a lot of acting, and I said that I just know how story telling goes. That made her doubly PO'd.

Great list! Identity is one of my favorite movies since youth and The Prestige still chokes me up to this day! Christian Bale only lived half a life!! And Hugh Jackman was just a psycho!

Some excellent choices here, and a lot of really good ones added in the comments. I'll add Predestination, has two great reveals, especially when we find out who the bomber is they've been looking for at the end.

Wendy being the crazy one in The Shining took me almost 40 years to figure out, so I'd put that on my list,

[@eleven2614]

How is Memento not there???

[@Harrell9945]

Another great reveal is the ending of “The Skeleton Key.”

[@Grimlock1979]

No Way Out (1987) has a great plot twist.

[@jenp3376]

The end of The Crying Game should be here - maybe less shocking now, but huge when it came out.

I remember rewatching The Sixth Sense and trying to see any clues that tell you that Malcolm’s actually dead. And they were all there! I was so shocked and was so impressed by M. Night Shyamalan

It’s a remake of dead and buried. Which is a better movie. It just doesn’t have the money or cast. M night has a formula he turns macrocosms into microcosms. Like signs is just war of the worlds in a living room. But yeah I knew long before the ending sitting in theaters. It’s one of the only films to make me completely, upmost violently angry until about a half hour in a decided to analyze way I was so mad and while making the list I realized Bruce was dead. I just thought it was terrible dim making or editing until I realized it was on purpose.

The society in Arrival completely ignores the fact that the aliens are using them for a purpose, what that purpose is they don’t explain. Is there war? Will the aliens need saving? Or are the just making humans more pliable to conquer? Who knows?
