Slaggis Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Wes said: Saw, Unbreakable and The Others spring to mind but there's probably more. EDIT: Yeah The Village too.... The Others was brilliant...the Village not so much.
mariosmentor Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Oldboy is great. Alot of effort and skill went into it's creation and it shows from everything to the top notch, unique storyline to the ingenious, inventive styles and shots incorporated aka tooth hammer scene/1 shot fight - amazing choreography and creates an undeniable realistic scene, moreso than any other film I've seen. It's a film that dared to be different, coupled with a crew who actually gave it their all to create what is none other than a piece of cinema masterpiece. Add an amazing actor into the fray and you have one of the greatest movies ever perceived by mankind. Enjoy. Millers Crossing has an awesome twist, I also concur with those that believe the Village was shite.
Sanchez Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Lucky number Slevin has the cleverest twist I've ever seen in a film, maybe im under exposed.

It did have a twist but I guessed it during the film, didn't really like it all that much. Did the same for Smoking Aces actually and I quite enjoyed that.
mcj metroid Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 saw is one of my favourites.. its a pity the other films ruin it.
welsh_gamer Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 The Village had a good and clever twist imo, it just didn't handle and deliver it well. The Prestige had a good one, but it wasn't shocking, it just made you think about it for a while. Of course, Star Wars had one of the biggest twists ever, but seeing as most of us were not from that genration, we allready knew about it before seeing the film.
Paj! Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Best twist ever is in "Gentlemen and Players" by someone Harris. (woman) I actually like gasped and started screaming when it happened. It like makes you go crazy.

The entire concept of the twist of the film was beyond the realm of my imagination when I watched it, I was completely blown away.
Monopolyman Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 hobbzinio said: It is still beyond me how people enjoyed Old Boy so much. To me the film had good ideas but was a over-complicated mess that got lost in its own mythology. Didnt match the hype what so ever I don't really understand you're critisism, but I thought what made Oldboy such a fantastic film was the obvious and well organised style, and the well plotted, paced and mature storyline, which came to a shocking, twisted and ultimately one of the best twists ever. One thing that I didn't like about Oldboy, however, is (and I'll use a spoiler thing for this just in case)... [spoiler= Reveal hidden contents ][/"]...the hypnotist.I think our protagonist would still not recognise his own daughter even without the hypnotist, and the idea that locking him up for 15 years and then the antagonist hiring a hyponotist to make sure he does not recognise his daughter takes the edge off the ending IMO."][/
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 The Crying Game. It sure as hell took me by surprise. I didn't see the twist in The Village coming, but it doesn't change the fact that it was shit. EDIT- Fight Club had a pretty good twist. I had the good fortune of not having it ruined before actually watching the film.

Coolness Bears Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 A good twist in The Simpsons, Who Shot Mr. Burns?
somme Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 A better twist in Futurama: Fry is his own grand-father.
Ellmeister Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Lucky number slevin was a great film, and the twist made it greater. Especially at the beginning with Bruce Willis killing that guy. I thought that was just showing he was a hitman. =] Also The Others= one of my most hated films ever. Its so rubbish :/
jayseven Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Lock stock! In terms of the guns... The Italian Job and the cliff... Eternal Darkness (the game) and just the general twisted sanity effects... Those books by Paul Jennings - particularly the one where a kid gets bitten by a new type of invisible ant and runs away... Most books by Chuck Palahniuk, in particular Survivor and Lullaby... Sasuke getting badass on Naruto... Chinatown ("mother... sister... mother...") ... The '99 champs league final. And Twister.

The antagonist mentions through the film that it is difficult to make two people fall in love. For his plans he needed them to be together so he hypnotized them to increase the chances. thats my view on it anyway.
Shorty Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 welsh_gamer said: Goldeneye Reveal hidden contents Alex Trevelan's back from the dead! I actually played the game of Goldeneye long before I saw the film, but I think even if I hadn't, I would've seen this coming. Sean Bean's too big just to get an expendable role in the first 4 minutes of the film.
Chris the great Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 metroid fusion actualy had a decent twist, ffVII had few good twists oh, and the roses are red/violets are blue twist as to who the killer was was great. patterson is a sterling writter. oh, and angels and demons had some awsome twists
Shino Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Madelaine Mccann: Reveal hidden contents She wasn't kidnapped, it was in fact her parents that killed her.
Cube Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Serenity. Reveal hidden contents The reavers are prominent in quite a few episodes, and it's a fairly common belief that they started out as men that went to the edge of space, got lost in emptiness and went insane. Then started killing, raping, etc. The film finally reveals that the government were behind it - a side-effect of a drug they used to reduce violence (which worked on 90% of people...too well). This also explains why prolonged contact to reavers turns some people into reavers - it's the drug spreading.
