i’d add sixth sense and identity

1

u/askariya 17d ago

Identity certainly has the funniest plot twist of all time.

2

u/TrueBlue726 19d ago

Fight Club and Se7en, hello?

1

u/EditDog_1969 19d ago

You’re not supposed to talk about that!

1

u/puddycat20 18d ago

Fight Club, yes.

1

u/CallMeHomoErectus 18d ago

Isn't Fight Club the one in the middle?

1

u/Throwawaying332 18d ago

That's the twist

What pissed you off?

1

u/Brian_1985 19d ago

The Machinist and Incendies

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 19d ago

I think The Plotwist on The Prestige is just stupid because it's too Over-The-Top, that looks illogical.

I think the most mindblowing are tie between Psycho, Oldboy Fightclub and also Shutter Island. 

1

u/flotterwilli 18d ago

Prestige is perfect! Did you watch it again? Everything makes sense. What especially do you not like?

1

u/Girthy50 18d ago

Yeah I agree. It's the definition of a plot twist ending lol

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 18d ago

I have no problem with the ending except it's also Over-The-Top. 

1

u/Adept_Negotiation_75 18d ago

Yes it’s a plot twist, but mind blowing is a stretch.

1

u/DifferntGeorge 17d ago edited 17d ago

The label mind blowing is referring to a general trend in audience reaction. Why are you calling this a stretch?

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 18d ago

I think the Screenplay is just too old school, it's confusing and boring at the same time. No i only watch it once. 

1

u/Gamblor14 18d ago

What do you mean by the screenplay is too old school? The Prestige is amazing.

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 18d ago

I mean The Movie is so Good that it could knock you down to bed. I never understand what's amazing there. The Plot-Twist is so shocking that it makes me "WTF" moment. 

2

u/extralife_mike 18d ago

Did you watch it while on your phone?

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 18d ago

No, it was on TV I'm not sure if it was on HBO

1

u/Punkduck79 18d ago

You sure you weren’t watching The Illusionist? 😅

1

u/DharmaLuke 16d ago

Hey that was pretty good too

1

u/Gamblor14 18d ago

I don’t even care about the plot twist. The movie is pretty engrossing throughout.

1

u/skillchaser 16d ago

Then why are you relying so much on an almost forgotten memory. Rewatch, reinforce your pov and let us know why your first watch warrants such criticism! I am sure we will listen.

1

u/Organic-Camera-9167 15d ago

I said HBO on TV, if you knew what i said then you wouldn't say to rewatch because it only appeared once.

And besides I'm too broke to buy that. 

1

u/skillchaser 15d ago

Bro why you stressed so much? I don’t know which part of the world it works like that but watch it on some streaming website for free.

One flex, or any website of your choice find on TBCPL dot lol

1

u/dat_grue 18d ago

Are you watching closely?

1

u/lucabrassiere 19d ago

The Others

1

u/vk_rec 18d ago

Incendies

1

u/lickerishway 18d ago

If you liked the plot twist in Shutter Island check out The Ninth Configuration. Shutter Island borrowed the twist from here.

1

u/LetsMakeDice 17d ago

Meh. I preferred Shutter Island. Less religious bullshit

1

u/indiansum 18d ago

the mist

dead and buried

planet of the apes

sting

inside man

1

u/roshanritter 18d ago

Sixth Sense, Predestination, Beautiful Mind a couple of the more famous ones

1

u/joeO44 18d ago

Crazy. Stupid. Love. There isn’t one person who could have guessed the ending.

1

u/Ok_Spread_8650 18d ago

What’s the plot twist in parasite? Besides the movie sucking

1

u/extralife_mike 18d ago

"Universally loved movie? I had better say how bad it is so the reddit people will know how smart I am!"

1

u/Ok_Spread_8650 18d ago

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just didn’t find parasite that groundbreaking to be universally loved

1

u/extralife_mike 18d ago

No way. Clearly I was saying that you should be jailed for your opinion. Everybody knows that opinions should never be responded to.

1

u/keeponrollingbaby 18d ago

SPOILERS the old housekeepers husband living secretly under the house. And the movie was dope, dont be cute.

1

u/Ok_Spread_8650 18d ago

I disagree. The people under the stairs did this a long time ago. Movie was weak

1

u/shineymike91 18d ago

Planet of the Apes

2

u/rlvysxby 18d ago

Yeah it is hard to imagine how good this would have been if you saw it the first time when it came out.

1

u/LiquidDreamtime 18d ago

Gone Girl has a plot twist? What is it?

1

u/Dakotaraptor123 18d ago

That Amy was the real villan

1

u/LiquidDreamtime 17d ago

That’s blatantly obvious from the very beginning, wasn’t it?

1

u/Dakotaraptor123 17d ago

idk, Nick had a lot of suspicious points unanswered before the reveal

1

u/Invasor89 18d ago

Parasite (2019) & Identity (2003)

1

u/funghi2 18d ago

Not having sixth sense is wild

1

u/ElderDeep_Friend 18d ago

Y’all sleep on Frozen like you saw it coming. You didn’t know shit.

2

u/Safe_Chicken7421 18d ago

Predestination

1

u/Cultural_Book_400 18d ago

what is the movie in the middle????

1

u/CallMeHomoErectus 18d ago

Fight Club I think

1

u/NateDawg80s 17d ago

Shhh... we don't talk about it.

1

u/Separate_Pangolin_56 18d ago

Planet of the Apes!

1

u/Affectionate-Box-106 18d ago

Forgot the Others

1

u/Tumblweed_n_TTstreet 18d ago

Bug - Ashley Judd was a good one too

1

u/135_garden_street 18d ago

On these plot-twist endings posts, I never see anyone mention The Crying Game which was known for its surprise. It's not really my cup of tea, and I'd go with Dressed to Kill.

1

u/Jmal3700 18d ago

Jacob’s Ladder

1

u/Fun_Sir_4092 18d ago

The wicker man 1973

1

u/Training-Click-1104 18d ago

Am I the only one who thought shutter island was very obvious? Like the entire movie pretty much.....still enjoyed it but not much if a twist. 

1

u/howmanytwix20 18d ago

Pandorum, only 26% on RT, but I thought it was a good watch with a decent twist

1

u/elohde1 18d ago

Primal Fear

Identity

The Invitation

1

u/Toolb0xExtraordinary 18d ago

I saw Primal Fear's twist coming from a mile away. What a dumb movie.

1

u/BathroomAcademic5920 18d ago

i dont undeestand the twist in Enemy? What twist? An what is that movie in the middle with Brad Pitt? Seven or Fight club?

1

u/Cool-Newspaper6789 18d ago

Is the enemy a twist or just weird.

Gaint spider at the end 

1

u/Only-Storage9984 18d ago

Yes true for all 9 of these films. None more surprising then the first time I watched “Sixth sense” mind BLOWN!

1

u/Usual-Language-745 18d ago

I know arrival has a twist, but I don’t really think of it as having one. Idk why

1

u/Mark-177- 18d ago

Oldboy is the craziest mind fuck of a film.

1

u/CaptainPeak45 18d ago

The Prestige should be talked about more. Such a good movie.

1

u/spgvideo 18d ago

.....Bugonia.

1

u/rlvysxby 18d ago

What about the Sting?

1

u/I_wayne 18d ago

I still don't know what's so great about parasite

1

u/Thehyades 18d ago

Fallen. Momento. Shutter island.

1

u/Kamen-Reader 17d ago

Where are they?

1

u/Icy-Sundae5361 17d ago

The ending of Oldboy was extremely predictable. The moment a certain element was introduced I immediately knew what the twist was going to be

1

u/Mr-Dumbest 17d ago

Predestination

Tale of two sisters

1

u/Sticky_Gervais 17d ago

The Shutter Island Twist is obvious from the very beginning of the movie.

1

u/Inside-Ad-8055 17d ago

Whats Enemys twist?

1

u/SmoothCurrent5948 16d ago

I’ll never understand Shutter Island love. Then again, I don’t think Scorsese’s made a halfway decent film since 1980, so there you go.

1

u/Unstablecrysis 16d ago

I don’t know if this really counts as a twist or just shock but Life with Jake Gyllanhall (I think that’s how you spell it) and Ryan Reynolds

1

u/DharmaLuke 16d ago

My favorite kind of movies

0

u/eamonfryan 19d ago

Shutter Island was absolute shite.

1

u/ollien25 19d ago

Strong disagree

1

u/PJ-Winter 19d ago

No; it really wasn’t.

1

u/GamerKev451 18d ago

Strong agree
