I almost always figure out movies, especially plot twists. But once in a while one gets me good. Thought it would be fun to discuss them. Don't know how we want to go about this though, seeing as some may not want to be spoiled, especially with recent movies. I'll start off with saying Sixth Sense got me fair and square. I do remember one point during the movie, where an inkling of a thought started to form in my head. But by the time I had the chance to think, "I wonder if...." the movie had gone on to something else and taken me right with it. My little brain never had the chance to try and form that thought again. Then BAM! Right at the end of the movie! It got me! Great job! I actually like getting got!

Psycho got me good, same with the Sixth Sense. I didn't see the end coming in Pay it Forward...still get furious about that one!

"The Others", with Nicole Kidman, got me. It took me a few minutes to realize what was really going on at the end. And I agree with you, Who, on the Sixth Sense.

I figured out "The Usual Suspects" before the end. Anyone else see that one?

Eh Fight Club totally baffled me. I was so angry when that film was over! I was like "WHAT??? the guy was beating up himself????? That's just stoooopid!" I still think that is the dumbest movie ever.

Jan, LOVED that movie. I did figure it out part way through, but it was still a wonder to watch the last scene.

I got taken in by 'Usual Suspects', 'Sixth Sense', and 'Fight Club'. I figured out 'The Others'. Anybody see 'Vanilla Sky'? There were some twists to that one. So many that I can't really remember if I caught them or not before they happened.

The Sixth Sense got me too, I remember sort of vaguely noticing his wardrobe throughout the movie, but didn't make the connection. The Others also, I thought Nicole Kidman was just mentally imbalanced or paranoid or something. Identity might have gotten me if I hadn't heard enough clues before I saw it. The twist at the end of Arlington Road wasn't really a "gotcha" for me, but something to think about - it made me angry. I loved No Way Out and Primal Fear too, great twists at the end.

Jhezzie, I came here to add The Crying GAme to the list & you beat me to it! One of my brothers told me to rent The Usual Suspects--he was so impressed by Kevin Spacey's performance. I think he won an academy award for his work in that film, didn't he?

I'm terrible at figuring these things out. The Sixth Sense, The Others, and The Usual Suspects all fooled me at the end. Maybe I just can't figure out movies starting with "The". MODS - Maybe y'all should label this a spoiler thread, since some of these twist endings are being revealed here. Thanks!

The Usual Suspects, The Sixth Sense and Wild Things all had me going "wow" at the end. I figured out Fight Club and Secret Window fairly quickly.

Definitely Primal Fear with Richard Gere and Edward Norton. If you haven't seen this, it's fabulous! You keep thinking you have it figured out, then you know you don't.

Oh, I forgot about Wild Things! They almost got me. That movie was fun. Pretty good acting and good plot.

The Planet of the Apes. I saw it when it originally came out, and was totally blown away by the ending. I had figured out the Sixth Sense right away (thanks to my medical training). I was also blown away by Primal Fear...if you haven't seen it...rent it. I highly recommend it.

I remember all my friends being shocked at "The Crying Game" and I couldn't figure out why. I pegged 'her' for a guy the first time 'she' came on screen. The end of Carrie got me BAD when I first saw it in a theater. My boyfriend at the time and I used to go to scary movies all the time and we thought this one was actually pretty lame. Then all of a sudden that hand came out of the grave and we both about had heart attacks! I remember grabbing onto him and screaming and he was screaming right back and saying, "Don't touch me! You're hands are knives!"

Oh Yes Max!!...that scene from Carrie scared the bejesus outta me! I was watching at home alone, hubby was teaching night school at the time...and the girls were sound asleep. I jumped so high...I went from one chair to another! Lucky I just didn't have a heart attack and die on the spot.

Okay, I watched 'Taking Lives' this week, and there are two twists at the end of that movie...but I figured them both out ahead of time. The movie itself is well worth watching, but you'll probably see at least one of the twists coming from the beginning of the movie.

Vanilla Sky had so many twists and turns that I had no idea where it was going. I still don't think I know! lol Identity and Primal Fear had really great Gotcha endings.

The best "twist" I've ever seen was in a 1973 movie called "The Exorcist". Linda Blair "twisted" that neck of her's seven ways from Sunday. "It's an excellent day for an exorcism."

Dragonfly. I thought Costner would find his wife alive in the jungle. The ending is so satisfying because every silly little incident in the movie points to the ending: no red herrings!

Twist but not.. "Phone Booth"...I knew I knew that voice (voice of the villian)...but could never figure it out till the very end of the movie..they even avoided his name in the opening credits.. Great movie if you haven't seen it.
