Primal Fear, The Usual Suspects and The Da Vinci Code
Going a bit beyond the thread's brief there, BBB but I agree - some films should not have been made in the first place, nor the book on which they were based, published.:D
Black Swan
The Thing 1982
The Hole 2001
Prom Night 1980
Halloween 1978
Basic Instinct
Shutter Island
Inception
Orphan
Sleepaway Camp
The Unsaid
Identity
The Prestige
The Illusionist
Seven
Sleepless
Triangle
Looking for Mr Goodbar, Diane Keaton and a young Richard Gere. Based on the notion of a woman looking for dangerous and unpredictable sex...the ending (featuring Tom Berenger) is truly shocking and realistic...
Two bits of trivia for the last clip...Donald Sutherland plays a character called Homer Simpson, and the 'girl' he is stomping on is actually Jackie Earl Hailey...
And is just just me, or were 70's movies far more shocking and disturbing than any other decade?

Hailey's character is always male, though. Until the 1930s, male toddlers and boys under 8 were often dressed in feminine clothes. John Wayne was actually one of those boys.
In Day of the Locust, Hailey's screen mother goes further by sexualising her son to appeal producers as part of her bid for riches and fame, and that's what makes him so grotesque.

Thanks. Its been a while since I saw the whole movie and could only really remember the ending.

That is by far the biggest one for me.
The Machinst with Christian Bale is a good one too.
Orphan
I know it leads up to it, I just didnt think Sgt Howie would end that way.
A brilliant twist that I left me guessing right until the end.
That was another good 'un

Sixth Sense would've been good if it hadn't been spoiled for me.
