Most Shocking Movie Twist In Film History

[Diesel]

Just finished watching Empire Strikes Back and remembered my surprise when I found out Vader was Luke's father for the first time.

Of course it wasn't in the theaters in 1980 like the most of you, it was on a VHS less than 10 years ago.

But it got me thinking, what does everyone consider to be the biggest/most surprising movie plot twists ever?

That one gets my vote hands down.

Hands down, "The Usual Suspects"

To Live and Die in LA had two pretty damn good twists in it (one of which is still a doozy and packs a punch).

As much as I love this movie, I saw the twist ending a mile away the first time I watched it.

The Angel episode AWAKENING easily had the best twist ending of any TV show. In fact, this show had a strong set of twist endings.

Really? I had no idea. When I first saw Spacey click his wrist back into place I was like "WTF no way!"

Also, I'll add Fight Club. That was a good twist.

The Empire Strikes Back.

I saw the movie in the theater in 1980, before the internet, before blogs that may have leaked the info, before being able to read dozens of reviews before it was in the theaters. Yes, learning that Darth Vader was Lukes father was a shock. I remember thinking No Noooo just as Luke was saying Noooo on the screen.

I will soon be 60, have seen hundreds and hundreds of movies, but this was the biggest shocker I can remember.

I agree with the Sixth Sense, but the Departed didn't seem like much of a twist to me at all {due to the fact that I had already seen the original}

But what about Sleepaway Camp? Who DOESN'T remember that ending? What a twist!!!
