Any other movies with huge twists?

I don't think I've ever been as blindsided by a twist in a movie as I was when I first watched Oldboy. I've tried to search for more movies with huge twist endings like that, but it's hard to avoid spoilers when doing that. Anyone know of any other movies with crazy twist endings? Please don't give away the end in this thread.

The game (1997)

I never understood how people thought Vader being the father in ESB was a twist. Vader (spelled Vater in German and Dutch) literally means father and darth was a play on dark. Lucas, being the guy that likes to beat people over the head with his symbolism (second only to Nolan when it comes to repeating the same damn theme again and again, just to make sure the audience didn't miss anything), named the bloody character Dark Father.

Yeah well not every one speaks German or Dutch, do they

[–] frikandelspeciaal333 9 years ago

Vader is Dutch for father, vater is German for father.

It's Vater, not vater.

This sentence has nothing to do with what I just have written above.

"The skin i live in", very similar kind of twisted, messed up ending, in the uncomfortable sexual way...

[–] oh_no_mrbill 12 years ago

Oh god. That ending still disturbs me to think about.

When he goes back to this mother's shop now a woman? That disturbs you?

Fight Club and The Prestige have good twists, and are generally just excellent.

Sleepaway Camp

[–] LionInWinter 11 years ago

Very true, but that's a movie I still wouldn't recommend to casual movie viewers or sane people.

[–] Star_AD 11 years ago

All I can say is LEL!

IN THE END THERE WILL BE ONLY CHAOS

Holy *beep*, yes... Amazing and disturbing plot twist, Incendies is a beautiful, brilliant movie!!

I absolutely love a good blindside... which is part of the problem. If you know a movie has a twist, it could ruin it for you because you spend the whole time trying to figure it out. That's why I couldn't truly enjoy "Sixth Sense" because I kept trying to figure out what the BIG TWIST was...

That being said, here are some movies with great endings:

Limbo
Martha Marcy May Marlene
The Vanishing (original)
The Wicker Man (original)
The Orphanage
Jacob's Ladder
Fallen
Shattered
