Memento and Mulholland Dr., along with the classics, but Paltrow's head in a box in Se7en is the least forgettable :p

That wasn't really a twist though was it because the whole movie was a build up to that in Shawshank. Though in 7, we knew that there would be 2 more "killings" for the last 2 sins too :p I shouldn't say killings because we really don't know what happens to Pitt's character.

The absolute best twist ending IMO was The Village, I didn't see it coming at all, and wasn't even expecting a twist ending. I wasn't famiilar with M. Night's work. Also, as previously mentioned, Fight Club.

I'm not going to read the thread, but why would someone want to know beforehand if there was a twist at the end of a movie?
Again, I won't be able to read any responses. :confused:

All of M. Night's movies have giant twists at the ending. It gets kind of old.

My favorite twist has to be Frailty. The ending really made the movie great. If it weren't for the twist it would have just been an alright movie.

Really? I wouldn't consider Unbreakable and Signs with twist endings. They had stories that built up to their great finale, but they definately were not twists.
