    I suppose it is old enough now to add one to the list. Inglorious Basterds was a surprise, though a bit slow and episodic otherwise.

    Von Ryan's Express?

    I guess they never thought of sequels in them days.

    Definatly the film Seven !

    Possibly a very predictable twist, the certain character was in the film in one very boring certain for the purpose of the twist.

    a story about two teen sisters and their virginity. At the end, two characters are randomly killed by an axe murderer.
    The Pledge (2001)
    the killer was a background character, only the audience know
    Remember Me
    romantic drama which ends with the main character being killed on 9/11

    No Way Out - I never saw that one coming. It completely spins the film on its head.
    The Usual Suspects - really blew me away with the ending. Thank goodness that I didn't have it spoiled for me. That would have been terrible.
    The Sixth Sense - another good ending. It makes a lot of sense looking back at it in flashbacks. It's also become so iconic now. Shame M. Night Thingymajig uses "the twist" in every film nowadays.

    I thought the ending actually spoiled the film a bit, its great up to that point, it doesn't really give the film a different spin on second viewing as itfelt like a 'wouldn't this be cool' afterthought.

    Some Like It Hot's last line - the "nobody's perfect" one, so Osgood knew all along.
    Usual Suspects was very clever
    Carrie is still the one that made me hit the roof (along with most of the cinema)

    I had no idea about the twist, and thought it was really brilliant.
