Best surprise Ending to a movie you saw ... - Blu-ray Forum

flanman · 02-11-2009, 02:51 PM

What movie(s) have you seen with an absolute surprise ending? You just never saw it coming. To me that is the mark of a great movie.
Here are a few of mine:

The Sixth Sense - I think everyone has seen this one.
Diggstown - Great ending and great movie
Primal Fear - Edward Norton was great in this one.

* Sorry for the damn typo in the title.

I have sure seen many but the ones that I always remember for that are:

Se7en and Fight Club

AKORIS · 02-11-2009, 02:56 PM

USUAL SUSPECTS was pretty surprising

Blu-Ron · 02-11-2009, 02:59 PM

Planet of the Apes (1968)
Psycho
The Mist
Nothing to Lose (give it a try)

Gotta agree with Fight Club

Petra_Kalbrain · 02-11-2009, 03:02 PM

Not so much the ending, but Fight Club is probably still the one that has hit me the hardest.

Also, I wouldn't say it's anywhere near being classified as "the best" or any other form of "good," but From Dusk Till Dawn certainly had a surprising turn. Personally, I love it. But, I know that many despise it.

I guessed it pretty early on. It was kind of a let down for me.

My pick would be Primal Fear. I did not see that coming at all. Edward Norton was spectacular in that movie.

I got a good laugh out the person who said Titantic.

Seven

That ending really tripped me out

surfdude12 · 02-11-2009, 03:19 PM

Identity

bferr1 · 02-11-2009, 03:21 PM

Rocky IV.

CYMBOL · 02-11-2009, 03:22 PM

Unbreakable
The Prestige

All the ones mentioned so far I agree with. I love Fight Club - that ending is so ridiculous, but somehow it works.

uziel5000 · 02-11-2009, 03:26 PM

Does it have to be endings? Cause the twist that REALLY got me was in The Matrix. I will forever be glad to not having checked or read anything about the film before going to see it. I found out "the truth" at the same time Neo does in the film and... well, wow.

Geezer00003 · 02-11-2009, 03:35 PM

The Descent(UK unrated).
Sarahs dream escape followed by seeing her daughter.

Unexpected for me and what a cool pull back shot!

JJ · 02-11-2009, 03:38 PM

Empire Strikes Back? For real, though?

And this thread needs an ENORMOUS "spoilers" sign on it.
