    Default Movies w/ Great "Surprise" Endings

    I would have to say my favorite "Surprise" ending movie is easily "The Usual Suspects."

    "Sixth Sense" was good, but I saw it coming - same with "Saw"

    And there was another one, but I can't think of it. If I remember, I'll put it up.

    Anyone have any others?

    The ending to "The Game" with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn was interesting. That movie was a mind bender until the end.

    It's been many years since I saw it, but the ending of "No Way Out" with Kevin Costner was a bit of a surprise to me.

    Jacob's Ladder and The Ninth Configuration are both stellar, war-related movies with surprise twists at the end.

    And David Fincher's brilliant, if twisted, "Seven" and "Fight Club" both had nasty jolts at the end (though even if I hadn't read the novel first, Fight Club was definitely telegraphed).

    Can you tell I like my films dark and depraved?

    [Edit: I guess Johnny Casaba beat me to the "Enter" button first. And come to think of it, Fincher directed "The Game" as well.]

    David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive." A suprise right from the get go. One of my favorite movies.
