Yes, he had the "Power of The King" (as a High Rank Police Officer), but he was also a Fool (he was easily fooled by ALL Summerisle Residents) and he was a Virgin. The chapter that reveals that on the DVD release was called "The Sacrificial Virgin". As for Keyser Söze, the twist is given away if you know Turkish. Söze translates as "Talkative", and what is another name for Talkative? Verbal.

I am not ashamed to admit the first time I saw Shutter Island I was confused by a lot. Then I watched an “explained” and really enjoyed the film with a new perspective. So much that I watched multiple “fan theories” and the 3rd watch was even better. You know you’ve got a phenomenal film when you know the “twist” and it’s still open to a lot of interpretation. No Country is the only film I can think of that has that element and pulls If off better. NCfOM is one the greatest films ever, any era, hard to debate that.

The low key way a single sentence is used as the twist in The Conversation is an all time great cinema moment.

I know this is in movies not TV, but the Mr Robot twist where the architect realizes he's just another alter ego and has to let the real Elliot back in, not to mention the tragic reasons for such total disassociation, is not just well executed but so emotionally powerful!! It's unfortunate most people dropped off the final seasons and missed the revelations about what the whole show actually is because it's not just empty twists for shock value, it seeds and earns the payoff so thoroughly it's tough to understand how much work it took to design it over the years.

But then there was an episode where they suddenly did, so I thought: "That's weird, I guess he is real." And then the big twist happened and it made no sense whatsoever. So... I guess they woke up and it all a very unoriginal dream.

I felt so bad for John Nash in A Beautiful Mind when he's having to ignore his best friend and his bf's niece while they are pleading for his attention because he has accepted that they aren't real. So I guess I really feel bad for the hallucinations as I hadn't unsuspended my disbelief and projected my feelings onto John. Well, that worked out itself lol

Jacob’s Ladder had a nice gotcha ending

I'd say the first "Sleepaway Camp" deserves a mention. Much like "The Wicker Man" you think it's being way too obvious about what's actually going on...and then at the end it reveals there was a reason for that, so while you may have guessed correctly you still had no idea what the truth actually was.

"You're Mister Boddy."

And "Identity" ....

Speaking of Edward Norton, the twist of who he really is in The Score (with De Niro) was just… chef’s kiss ! Perfection!

Sadly many of these twists are so infamous now, anyone watching for the first time will have heard about it, or will be waiting for a ‘twist’ to materialise. I remember seeing the Wicker Man for the first time having no idea about the ending. I felt numb for hours afterwards.

Yes, seeing and hearing Howie singing The Lord Is My Shepherd blending with the more raucous "Sumer-is-a-Cumin-in" (sic - it's deliberately written as that by the film team - it's based on Old English) is as creepy as HECK. The final shot of the head of the Man falling forward to reveal a beautiful sunset was chilling to boot too.

i think shutters island deserves to be included in your list

These may be mentioned below, but two of my favorites are The Sixth Sense, and the underrated No Way Out.

Oooooooyeahhhh. No Way Out for sure! I had forgotten that one.

I love movies where the twist is so insane you couldn't see it coming. These days it feels like trailers will sell that twist for the chance at making money so you'll already know what's going to happen before you even go to the theater. I remember the Matrix mystery before it's release where it was just "You cannot understand the matrix until you see it for yourself" and the website kept the secret. Fight Club is one of my favorite movies as a story but I don't like that people want to make it into a creed.

What a lovely outro!

I come for the inspiration Jules gives at the end of each video. I stay for the great videos

This is a master list

I can say good list, but then you missed the original that created this script style. There was a John Wayne movie called The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, directed by John Ford and co starring James Stewart. A man who had his entire reputation and political career built off being the man who shot down a town bully outlaw named Liberty Valance, played admirably be Lee Marvin. It was during Kansas at the time trying to get statehood and Ransom Stoddard(James Stewart) being one if its first and founding politicians. As he tells the story of an old friend, the movie plays in flashback to the past mode, you find out his whole image is not what it seemed to be. Tom Doniphan, an anti hero, becomes a hero in a movie more sad than anything. It is one of the greatest scripts ever put to paper, and one of the original gotcha endings. Brilliant movie, completely wrong genre to try a twist, but it worked. Everything worked in that movie. If you look into it, that movie will be your new number 1 on that list.

The best part of Fight Club is the entirety of Project Mayhem and even Marla are all in his head.

Maybe the format is different, but the SUPREME example of this (to me) is Fallen, with Denzel Washington.

Extra points for including The Conversation - such a great film many don't really know about

Nice that this offering remembers movies from earlier days as so many of these collections seem to think the world began around 2001 or so. And " The Conversation" reveal is so subtle, with only the slight inflection of "us' making all the difference.

Easy to forget how much of a giant Christopher Lee was.

Roy (Edward Norton) said, “I knew exactly what you were doing- I thought we were dancing!” 😂😂

Good list. Also great twists sixth sense, shutter Island, Seven, interstellar. I have to watch a couple of these now.

Oh my god, I was wrong It was earth all along You've finally made a monkey (Yes we've finally made a monkey) Yes you've finally made a monkey out of meeeeeeee
