Movies With Surprising Endings...

[paidelr]

So I'm in that mood after watching my SAW DVD again and then seeing SAW2 so I have this question:

I'm looking for good movies (Horror or Action) with surprising and GREAT endings. Preferrably recent (As in 2001+) and ones that are out on DVD for me to buy.

Saw = Good Ending

The Village = Shitty

I also saw OldBoy with the English subtitles and I LOVED that movie. I can't wait for the American remake. Thanks.

Identity had a kick ass ending, from what I remember.

Identity's ending is the same twist you see in every "scary" movie these days.

If you're looking for good twist endings, stay away from movies like Identity, Hide and Seek, and High Tension.

Cusack and Liotta are fucking awesome in it, I'll give the movie that much. Go rent the Usual Suspects or Fight Club for the greatest movie endings ever.

I enjoyed the ending of Identity.

Alright, definitely gonna pick up Identity next time I head into Walmart.

Also, I like movies like SAW where it involves games to play. Or something.

And movies like Identity sounds like, where strangers are put together for a purpose and that's part of the plot.

Oh, and movies like Se7en or SAW again where the killer has a real purpose for what he is doing. Or is doing he work for a big reason.

This old thread should help.

Try The Game with Michael Douglas, that will suit some of the things you're looking for.

The Boondock Saints.....'nuff said.

So, I've decided to go with trusty Amazonl.ca for this one. I've made a list of the ones I'm looking at along with the prices. I was looking for getting the best deal for around $50.

Here:

The Usual Suspects - 21.23

Fight Club - 23.38

The Hole - 9.93

Frailty - 13.46

The Game - 19.76

Narc - 13.49

Identity - 20.66

Memento - 26.44

Crash - 23.96

All prices are Canadian according to amazon.ca.

See, it would be so much easier if either Identity, Memento, or The Usual Suspects were one of the $10 ones as I'm looking at those three specifically.

So, what do you think?

The Usual Suspects is the greatest movie of the last ten years in my opinion, my all-time personal favorite film, ever. So yeah, buy that.

Arlington Road's ending always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Completely different from what you'd expect.

[Ruckus]

I dunno, won't this kind of defeat the purpose of a twist if you already know that there is a twist coming? They're always much better when you don't know they're going to happen, thus making them a surprise.

Sixth Sense

[paidelr]

Nah, I LOVE movies like that. Knowing there is a twist, then trying to figure it out through the whole movie, and STILL unexpecting it is the greatest IMO.

The Sixth Sense I'm pretty sure my grandma has seen three times.

When those two movies came out, everyone I talked to saw the ending of Fight Club coming, and nobody I talked to saw the ending of Indentity coming. That seems really strange to me, but I guess the world is a strange place.

You live in a weird place. No one I have ever talked to had any idea that the twist in Fight Club was coming, I certainly didn't. Identity was incredibly predictable... at least I felt.

Sleepaway Camp has a pretty decent surprise ending. It's funny and a little shocking!
