Best ever plot twist?

We are arguing over the best film plot twist ever.

I say ‘I am your father’ (Darth Vader). DS says Bruce Willis’s revelation at the end of the sixth sense.

MN jury?

The Usual Suspects is better than either. I knew the twist from early on in the Sixth Sense and I saw it pretty much as soon as it came out so no hints to me beforehand.

I guessed both sixth sense and usual suspects. Not seen Star Wars so not that.
I don’t know I’ll have a think.

Primal fear and the game are good twists! Also the prestige! Saw the Bruce willis twist a mile off!

Oh yes, Primal Fear! I did not see that coming.

I was always pretty shocked by the end of The Departed.

The sixth sense was obvious. Agree about The Prestige though!

Yes, Primal Fear was a good twist I didn't get before the end actually.

I guessed The Village.

Shutter Island I got too.

The Prestige is another good one and totally not one you could see coming.

Yes, Dead Man's Shoes. This is reminding me of some good ones.

Yes, I came on to say primal fear. Edward Norton was so good in that film, I can still feel the chills I got in the cinema at the time. Also Usual Suspects, but I've re-watched that so many times the twist seems less so

Hard Candy. The subject matter is off putting but is an amazing, and underrated, film.

Primal fear
Wild things if only for the fun of it
Saw was pretty novel the first time
Frailty
Gone baby gone
The departed

That's all I can think of for now!

Manclife1 I had completely forgotten about Hardy Candy. Really good film. Was not expecting the twist.

@TraffordTansy love a bit of Kevin Costner!

Remember Me was a good, if controversial, one.
