the fact that he created that escape route and never told anyone
I wouldn't consider that a "twist ending". It's more of a variation on the "Count of Monte Cristo" theme.

it's a twist ending because the audience was caught completely off guard by what happened.

List is not complete and I will not vote unless the movie with the most twisted ending AND the hottest chick on chick action outside of porn is in there, Wild Things. Redo the whole damn poll now. :D

So you didn't see Fight Club, but you thought it was awesome? :p

Fight Club or Usual Suspects are tied for best ending in my book. I would have voted for Memento, but as others have said, the whole movie was a total mindfvck. :D

you're missing the two best:

The Game
The Pledge


and Basic? my god man, are you kidding? let me guess, you're one of those goofballs who spent two weeks trying to tell people "Signs isn't about aliens." no sh!te. the fact that you thought anythng at all in Basic was a surprise tells me either you don't pay attention, or have no brain.

voted fight club,
but usual suspects and primal fear and shawshank are quite high in my book too.
i really liked the ending of spy game too. even though it wasn't really a "twist ending" it was awesomly constructed.

Easy, Usual Suspects.

But my vote goes to Shawshank simply because I totally did not piece anything together the first time I saw it.
Fight club was a little cliche in its choice... surprised me, but the twist wasn't anything new.

The Game, Fight Club, Shawshank are my favorites for twist ending. I think The Game was the one that left me the most surprised.
