Anything by M. Night Shyamalan ... His latest, "The Village" is centered around a plot twist. If you dont like monumentous plot twists, you won't appreciate the movie.

While most of the movies mentioned here are thrillers, my favorite plot twist movie is Bill Forsythe's scottish comedy LOCAL HERO. It's one delightful plot twist after another and every time you think you know where it's going, it takes off in a direction you hadn't anticipated. Highly recommended!

I'll add a couple...

Femme Fatale (exceptionally well executed twist)

The Killing (don't know if this counts as a "twist", but it's sure a memorable shocker of an ending)

I'm sorry, but the Village has a pretty weak ending for a "suprise". Sixth Sense was good; Unbreakable was even better; but the Village just left me cold. It was obvious it was coming and when it did come, there were just too many unanswered questions. It also was trying to be clever in fooling the audience - something that the previous two films didn't do.

IMO, the Village was full of extremely stupid people who, for some reason, thought that their "really good idea" was infact, smart. Especially when it was obvious that they hadn't even thought through the consequences of their actions.

And Signs IMO didn't really have much of a twist.
