Any examples for me to watch?

I didn't see the twist in the usual suspects coming, also the orphanage, any similar films?

I was going to suggest the Orphanage. I'm probably a bit daft but I didn't see the twist coming in The Others.

The Prestige with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. I loved the twist at the end.

Orphan - not to be confused with The Orphanage - fab film, that.

All of the above plus Fight Club, Memento, Shutter Island, Oldboy, Planet of the Apes and The Crying Game.
(Oldboy is a tough watch - be warned)

The only one that comes to mind is Fight Cub.

I don't see how anybody could have seen the twist coming in Vanilla Sky. However I didn't see the twist in any of the films mentioned above; think I must be an undemanding viewer.

OldBoy is a cracking film! And I'm not really a big fan of fight scenes in films but there is one in particular there that is brilliant (the corridor bit).

Shutter island and in a similar vein A Beautiful Mind as I didn't know the story behind it.

The Prestige. That was a very clever film. I really liked it. I watched it again and realised that you're the viewer on two different levels really.

Aside from those mentioned, I saw 'One Day' recently and didn't see that coming. I actually gasped! maybe because it was the first interesting thing that happened

My sister told me there was a 'huge twist' in sixth sense so unfortunately I worked it out in the first 10 minutes and it ruined the film for me.

Sixth sense and the others.

First film I thought of was the others but also Remember Me. Cried like a baby...

I watched The Prestige last night. The twist really made me Shock too, and I'm usually a real arse who likes to spoil films by loudly predicting what's going to happen.

Just being told "this movie has a twist" is enough to put you on high alert.

I didn't see the twist in the sixth sense and when I watched it for the second time I STILL didn't see it coming (dumb brunette)

One Day (although I read the book first so strictly speaking I did see it coming in the film) and the Sixth Sense - OMG!!!!

Another one (in book form admittedly but I would not be surprised if it makes it to the big screen) is The Dinner by Herman Koch. Great book, leaves you reeling a bit at the end, going 'WTF?' Shock

nomore I remember 'that bit' in the book of One Day and gasping out loud 'Aaah?! No!!!! That can't happen!!!!'
