Spanish Prisoner
Zero Effect
Session 9
Under Suspicion
Vidocq
Identity
Usual Suspects
The Interview
Arsenic and Old Lace

Just having someone (usually the teaser) tell me a movie has a twist ending usually ruins it for me. I start looking for clues so I can guess the twist. The best are the one where the twist catches me totally off guard.

old horror flick that popped into my head: Burnt Offerings

Don't forget The Score. I think Wicker Park has a twisted ending too (haven't watched it) but I've seen the original, L'Appartment.

Besides the ones mentioned above:

The Conversation
Lone Star
Bunny Lake is Missing
Dead & Buried
Deep Red
Tenebrae
Black Christmas
Basic
Laura

Blood Simple

Closer - sorta kinda

Swimming Pool

REINDEER GAMES!...I know this movie gets hated on but i love it and it delivers all the twists you could ask for

The Changeling
Jacob's Ladder
The Grudge
American Beauty
ButterFly Effect
Donnie Darko
The Other's

Wild Things has a twist ending that'll make you tear your hair out!

I'm curious, what do you consider the 'twist' in Arsenic and old Lace?

The Vanishing (original version)
Carnival of Souls
A Pure Formality
Angel Heart
The Ninth Configuration
The Tenant

Fixed.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If you know the twist exists then you are going to be looking for it possibly ruining the surprise. But to each their own.

One I didn't see mentioned: Primal Fear
