so many movies are so predictable, you can see the ending miles out, saw two movies recently with twists that I just didnt see coming.

Lucky number Slevin and Orphan were the ones I saw.

These were pretty much sleeper hits too. Anyone else know movies like this that kept them guessing to the end and were surprising.

Haha I think we are the only two people who loved the Village.

Shutter island i would disagree with, saw that one right from the get go as similar movies have been made like this.

In alphabetical order

Angel Heart, The Butterfly Effect (Alternate Ending, not the Theatrical Ending), Clerks (No Joke if you know how Kevin Smith originally wanted it to end), The Devil's Advocate, Fallen, Identity, Inside Man, Lucky Number Slevin, Primal Fear, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects

Greatest twist/ending to a book I've ever read is The Genesis Code by John Case. A movie was made but from what I read about it it is different than the book.

thought that it was an "interesting twist" at the end of the latest "Predators" movie where the doctor, who everyone wonders WHY he's with a bunch of criminal and military killers, turns out to be a serial murderer psyco.

movie had a much more interesting plot than I thought it would have.
