To add to the great ones already named:
1. The sequel to Jean de Florette (which must be seen as it sets everything up) called Manon of the Spring.
2. Also: Run Lola Run.

the director of THE SIXTH SENSE repeated himself too often, as he also did that same type of surprise ending in movies like "Unbreakable", "Signs" and "The village".

Other good movies with surprise ending: Mad detective (hong kong movie from 2007: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0969269/ )

Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) by Dario Argento.

How about the end to Beat Takeshi's "Zatoichi"? The head of the criminal gang was not who you expected, AND Riverdance turned out to be Japanese!

telecasterplayerFeb. 28, 2010 - 01:21PM JST

Or maybe it was "The Love Guru": The unexpected twist is that it was supposed to be a comedy.

For me:

Totoro. That sandal scene gets me every time. Mei lives!

Yay トトロ！ Beautiful movie and I hope my daughter remebers the times we saw it together when I pass on.

ApsaraFeb. 28, 2010 - 07:55PM JST

Zatoichi was a good one. I also didn't see the ending of the Fight Club coming at all- quite rare for a Hollywood movie.

Freeway II: Confessions Of A Trick Baby

Not really a twist, but I enjoy watching Trans-Sexual Paedophile Witches getting pistol whipped and baked in an oven.

Call it a fetish.

Memento (director Christopher Nolan, who also did The Prestige which Yongyang mentioned). Guy Pierce in the lead role ... a great film!

For movies it is difficult, but for literature it is pretty much everything I read on JT. :P

Don't forget about The Maltese Falcon or Casablanca. For more modern flicks, The Usual Suspects. I actually shuddered.

Shawshank Redemption Not so much of a surprise ending, just had to see the movie again after seeing the second half - and saw it all in a completely different light.

Brainiac: "The Crying Game" is a great choice, but I'm going to keep that as number 2 and stick with Titanic.
