    Best Plot Twists of All Time

    Here is a list of 5 of my all-time favorite plot twists from any film...

    There are in no particular order and I can think of many more, but these strike me the most at the moment.


    MEMENTO (2000



    VERTIGO (1958)



    LAURA (1944)



    DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944)



    THE NAKED KISS (1964)

    I'm not opening this thread again, just in case I see a movie listed that I want to see. But here's mine:

    The Crying Game
    Psycho
    Dead Man's Curve
    every M. Night Shyamalan movie
    The Others
    Eschew fascism.
    Truth Will Out.

    Sixth Sense
    The Usual Suspects
    Citizen Kane (is Rosebud a twist?)
    Crying Game
    Angel Heart
    Fight Club (twist or not, this still sucked)
    Se7en

    Some really great ones! Thanks for the submissions. I would have to say that I had a few runners up including FIGHT CLUB, SEVEN, THE THIRD MAN, CITIZEN KANE (yes Rosebud would count), and just about any Hitchcock film!

    Dunno how anyone can leave out "From Dusk Till Dawn". Err, might not be the cinematic masterpiece of Kane or even the effective rehash of a tired litterary cliche as seen in the 6th Sense, but damn - Vampires?

    Lot of top-notch examples given so far. I'd say that the storytelling in Identity was well done, carefully waiting until deep in the movie before making the final conclusions transparent...

    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
