SURPRISE!

In this day and age it is hard to shock movie goers so a film has to be up to scratch with the twists and turns. Can you name any films that offer a twist you never saw coming????

My top 3 are........

1) The crying game - for obvious reasons (think we was all shocked)
2) The useal Suspects - 1st time I watched it I had to smile at the way they twisted to plot so much that the whole film could have been a haux
3) The Wicker man. - Poor Edward Woodwood gets burnt alive as a sacrifice still a very scary flick.

I only recently watched Nolan's Batman trilogy and over the last few years have managed to distance myself from it to a point where I knew little about it, so when Two-Face made his appearance, I was both shocked and impressed!

The bit in LA confidential where Kevin Spacey meets his end caught me completely off guard first time round.

Connery in the untouchables.....How could they kill James Bond ??

Henry Fonda bad guy

Once upon a time in the West

Flash in Ted.
I knew there was a suprise cameo but the one spoiler i read said it was Hercules.

Deep blue sea. Rousing speech by Jackson followed by dinner time for the shark had me in stitches. Not worth watching the whole film for though. It is dreadful

Me too lol. With it being Samuel L Jackson, I expected him to be in most of the film. Really didnt expect it to happen! Disagree about it being dreadful though, its one of my favourite films!!!

Wreck it Ralph

Switchblade Romance

I suppose the twist in the first Saw movie was good. Sadly, given it followed pretty much the same plot, the ending struggled to have the same impact with each sequel.

How about Star Wars - "What? His dad AND his sister?!?!?!!?"

unlike most of the human popultion i was actually surprised at the ending of "The Village"

Bit like Steve Segal in Executive Decision didnt see that coming. Maybe should be a new topic films where big stars killed off early lol

"The Package" with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Arlington Road had a great twist at the end, really enjoyed it.

Underrated film in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

just like Colin farrell in minority report didnt see that coming

In that case I nominate Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading.

Kate Winslet in that "contagious/contagion" film.

  good call perhaps someone should do an untimely death thread Alec Guinness in star wars.

Most of the cast in Mars attacks...

though if someone did the thread, it may be best if they were all covered in Spolier alerts

The Sixth Sense. Copied somewhat by The Others, which wasn't so good.

The Nature of the Beast (1995) has a good twist.

Arlington Road is brilliant. Full of suspense and quite creepy.

It's always a big surprise when Sean Bean manages to survive to the end of a film.

like silent hill

Ryan Gosling finding out he was dating Steve Carrel's daughter in Crazy, Stupid, Love, surprised me. Didn't see that happening.
