First of, try your best to not give away the actual twist, but also read this thread at your own risk.

For me, I think The Sixth Sense is the best twist because when you watch it again a second time, you can see the whole thing is right in front of your face the whole time, but no one ever figures it out. So many twists come from the unreliable narrator trope, but I feel like that's often a cheap trick. I like that The Sixth Sense doesn't use that ploy. It's more of a, "Hidden in plain sight." On a second watching, you definitely get a "How did I not figure this out" feeling?

Se7en was solid. Enjoyed Sixth Sense, but I suspected something was up at the restaurant when she took the check and ignores him entirely. Felt like more than "i'm mad at you"

Identity was a good one. You already had the surprise reveal in the middle, so no one expected the twist ending.

Se7en


It has been a long time since I've seen Se7en, so I don't remember the specifics as to what made me figure it out, but I do remember turning to a friend and calling the ending about half way through. Even though I hadn't seen the movie before and just figured it out, he was pissed that I spoiled it for him. Still a really good movie, though, and figuring out the ending didn't ruin anything for me. It might have actually made it better seeing it unfold and realizing I was right as it went on.

It was years before I caught this joke. I always thought it was just supposed to be a silly ending.

My wife likes to claim she called this one; however, before seeing the movie she was told the she would never figure out who was behind everything. When watching it with her, she pretty much guessed every actor in the movie and then at the end she said, "See. I knew it!"

The prestige gets my vote.

But I will say an extremely underrated one I think might be at the top of my list is The Game with Michael Douglas.

That ending blew me away the first time I saw it. Never even considered that as a possibility…

A Beautiful Mind, not really the ending, more like the halfway point.

I was thinking about this movie just the other day and how I need to watch it again. Absolutely freakin' wild.
