For me, I don't know if I really have a best one, but this film is great, along with The Sixth Sense, The Empire Strikes Back (at release, as the prequels ruined it), Brazil, The Prestige, Atonement and Jacob's Ladder.
I just saw Snowpiercer and that had a pretty good plot twist, as well, though not on the same level as the previously mentioned films.

Just to throw in an unorthodox choice: Disturbia.
Not an enormous twist but it was so heavily and intensely executed that it almost make me puke out of fear.
Oh, and
What lies beneath
left my lying sleepless for about two weeks when I was a kid and the twist(s) in that one didn't do my insomnia any good either! -

That's the best twist ending on this thread. Thanks for brightening up a dull list of weak twists.
I would say the king of twist endings is a B Western AMBUSH AT TOMAHAWK GAP:

I saw 'The Usual Suspects' on the same weekend as seeing Hitchcock's Frenzy, which made for an interesting comparison. Frenzy does not have a twist in the ending, but does take the viewer through a series of micro-twists in the last two minutes, as you think that this has happened, and then you think that that has happened, and then you realise that's not it, but that happened instead, and so therefore the finish will be oh wait, that finish is what's going to happen.
I'd say it's my favorite ending, of a movie. A very interesting two minutes! -

Best twist ever is No Way Out with Costner and Hackman.
The Usual Suspects is close second.
If you better think,Usual Suspects is little bit rip off from No Way Out.
One scary mystery evil man(Soze/Yuri), main character is not who we think he is, main character lying whole time, main character inprisonment(police station/pentagon), reckless powerful men(detective/minister of defence), extremely intelligent and manipularive main character, main character recognized(computer photo/dying hungarian), and main charactet now.villain escapes justice. -

I know it's a cheesy film, but
Wild Things
is a guilty pleasure of mine because there's a twist every 10 minutes or so.
Body Heat
will always be a personal fave; I'll never forget that scene at the end when William Hurt finds his evidence in the high school yearbook.
And the ending of
The Conversation
blew me away; all Gene Hackman needed to do was place the emphasis on a different word in the line "He'd kill us if he had the chance."
