        Memento was good, but in all honesty I think Shutter Island's ending was better. For the film as a whole Memento, but the twist ending I have to give it to SI.

            You're so young. You don't know "Witness For the Prosecution" and "the Sting". The 3/4 on that list get tramped by these two.

                What was the plot twist to Saw? I saw (no pun intended) but I don't remember any plot twist.

                  ? Every Saw film has a twist at the end. The twist of the original was that Jigsaw was actually the "corpse" that was lying on the bathroom floor the whole movie.

                      I liked this one a lot. Empire Strikes Back, Oldboy, The Sixth Sense had great twists.
                      The thing about this twist, it still leaves questions open. What exactly was real? Did most of it take place and Kint was just making other things up as he went along?

                        The Usual Suspects for it's climactic, masterfully edited twist.
                        I also like the Prestige for it's twists and turns throughout.

                          In my opinion, The Prestige would have had the best twist if it didn't spoil it beforehand
                          with all of those duplicate hats, then we knew what the machine actually did and could predict the ending. The ending was a surprise nonetheless, but I think it would have been better without showing how the 'trick' worked.

                                Of all the movies listed in this thread, the only ones that pulled the rug from beneath me are The Sixth Sense, Oldboy, The Usual Suspects, and The Crying Game. I did figure out The Usual Suspects' twist 10 minutes before it happened but I feel ashamed that it took me so long to catch it
                                D.

                                  I figured out the Sixth Sense's twist in the middle of the film, but it was still an awesome movie. For me the moment you realize what is really happening in a movie with a good twist is always enjoyable whether you figure it out or if you have it explained to you at the end.
                                  And how in the world did you figure out the Usual Suspects' Twist 10 minutes in?

                                    They said 10 minutes before it happened so I take that to mean 10 minutes before the movie showed the twist.
                                    Sixth sense was the best twist for me. I'm pretty good at picking up on twjsts in movies, but I never saw that one coming. The first time I saw this movie I missed a lot of it from the veginning. But as I was watching I said watch him be the killer, and I bet he can walk too. I'll definitely have to check out some of the other movies people have picked!

                                      I figured out the twist 10 minutes in! It was among the most predictable things I have ever seen in my life which made the hyped up ending that much worse. How did I do it?
                                      some things in the movie that made it super obvious.

                                      1. He was a cripple, making him into the bad guy is like thinking sushi was made in germany. That's why it's exactly what you should do.
                                      2. He survived the whole thing and was left to tell about it, sure makes sense they need someone to tell the story right.
                                      3. He didn't know any of the guys from the lineup yet he joined them on a job and even went as far as convincing Keaton into joining (according to his story).
                                      4. The damn lighter!
                                      5. He spoke of himself as the Devil and used lines only someone who would've thought about it could've.
                                      6. The most revealing of them all and something you had to think about after it happened. Keaton smiled when Verbal walked up to him and on top of that he mentioned small hints throughout all of their short conversation. Those hints were so obvious most people (those shocked apparently) totally dismissed.

                                        2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 did not happen within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

                                          don't need that many to make a guess and stand by it
                                          just said I knew who he was 10 minutes in, the rest was what made me sure enough to bet my life on it
