Vertigo, 39 Steps. You can't beat a bit of Hitchcock for Plot twists, frankly.

The Third Man, too.

Memento's a brilliant film with a brilliant twist if you've not seen it

It's one of Christopher Nolan's (directed Inception, the Dark Knight trilogy) earlier works and is well worth a watch

I know its a zombie thread but think Storynanny 's film is Derailed with Jwnnifer Anniston and Clive Owen

Rereading it is not Derailed, but that film has a good plot twist

Stonehearst Asylum.

Beautifully done twist. You think you are in on it, but you really aren't.

I agree with Unbreakable.
Alfred Hitchcock twists too.
Rear Window.

Moon is pretty good, too - with Sam Rockwell. Directed by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones.

Love this thread!
Probably already mentioned but Arlington Road stays with me. Bit dull all the way through but then the end just floored me.

Arlington road is a BRILLIANT underrated film.

I also love no way out and memento and usual suspects.

I usually spot a twist but didn't spot sixth sense straight away. My ex is not usually good at slotting but did this one. Confused

Gone Girl
and The Sting - absolute classic.
I'm annoyingly good at guessing plot lines and both of those suprised me.
Plus the music in The Sting is fab.

Place marking! Love a good twist and haven't seen very many of the film's mentioned!

What about Salt?

Also, I guess Frozen counts, but probably works better if you're under eight Grin

I saw Looper on TV recently, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The twist at the end isn't massively unexpected, but not what I thought was going to happen.
