Any examples for me to watch?

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

The Usual Suspects - I really didn't see that one coming. Brilliant film.

I was tipped off about The Crying Game before I saw it, so that got spoiled, but watched it with DH on DVD a few years ago and he had no idea - the look on his face was priceless!

6th sense
The tourist.
Fight club

And donnie darko I have watched about 3 times. Missing the point completely. I thought it was about an alien rabbit abdicating him.

Oblivion, shutter island, one day.

handcream · 14/09/2013 21:25

The Village. Same director as 6th Sense

The machinist

Manda472 · 14/09/2013 21:11

YY to the sixth sense, has anyone seen the recent version of "the fog" it's definitely got a no way ending

Suzieismyname · 14/09/2013 21:08

Selks just beat me to it.
Vampurws out of nowhere! Crazy!

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 21:04

The Tourist.

BigcatLittlecat · 14/09/2013 21:03

The Crying Game! Had no idea! Brilliant film though.

sarahandemily · 14/09/2013 21:03

The Departed. Great Film.

Selks · 14/09/2013 20:59

Tarantino's 'From Dusk Till Dawn'. Crazy plot twist!

holidaybug · 14/09/2013 20:58

Life of Pi

PlotTwist · 14/09/2013 20:55

Oh yes, Atonement
Oldboy
Safety Not Guaranteed not a twist exactly, more a disbelief it actually ended that way.
'Repo Men^

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 14/09/2013 20:50

The Thomas Crown Affair (the new one, with Pierce Brosnan). I absolutely loved it

susiedaisy · 14/09/2013 15:05

The others

somewherewest · 31/07/2013 20:24

The novel Atonement had an interesting twist which I don't think came across well in the film

goodmum101 · 03/07/2013 21:48

Sixth sense
Oldboy (pretty extreme)
Fight club
Crying game(not 4 kids under 16)
A beautiful mind
The others
Usual suspevts

whatkungfuthat · 19/06/2013 14:57

I watched Memento for the first time the other night, it just made me cross.

PurpleAlert · 02/06/2013 23:22

The sixth sense- we were lucky enough to see this film without the MiL getting to us first with comments about the " twist" at the end!

seasalt · 02/06/2013 23:18

Remember Me, just wasn't expecting it at all .

boogiewoogie · 02/06/2013 23:11

Most of mine have been mentioned. If you haven't read the book then "The Boy in Striped" pyjamas had me guessing and I was still shocked.

I never see any twists coming, and usually don't understand them when they arrive.

The Usual Suspects.

MardyBra · 31/05/2013 00:01

The Crying Game. Biggest twist ever!
