Wooderson Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Se7en was a great movie, but I kinda guessed the ending before it happened and luckily I got it right so I ruined it for myself. Fight Club was also very good, I didn't know there was a twist at the end when I watched it which was good for me. ^David Fincher has a knack for these twists I guess. Memento was a great movie and I thought the ending was great as well. I don't understand the hatred for the 6th Sense twist...I mean I was 11 when I saw the movie, but I still loved the twist at the end. Somebody mentioned The Village, which I can agree with. The movie overall wasn't very good, but the ending was quite well done and I left the screening suprised.
/dev/null Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 #3 Which reminds me of another Gabriel Byrne film, Millers Crossing
Nanker Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 And where was Jacob's Ladder in that article? Terrifyingly disturbing movie.
WellDressed Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 And where was Jacob's Ladder in that article? Terrifyingly disturbing movie. Adrian Lyne's (Line) masterpiece. A terrific film. So suspenseful and bizarre....with a wee bit of horror and there you have it, one fine film. Who didn't love Danny Aiello as Jacob's "Cherub" I do have to admit, I really did like Basic Instinct.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Another vote for The Departed. Nothing like Damon getting his head blown off by a covert Wahlberg.
Pete Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 What's in the box?!?! Barton Fink is one of the most underrated films I have ever seen
Buftex Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 "Planet Of the Apes"! "I can't believe they finally did it. Damn you...damn you all to hell" Wasn't a complete shock, but one of the great all time scenes in American cinema....
CarolinaBill Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 i'm voting for friday, I never saw d-bo getting his ass whooped by craig coming
PushthePile Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I'll nominate two old ones Citizen Kane and War of the Worlds. I'm not sure if they fit the twist category but they have great endings. I liked the ending in Road to Perdition. It's actually a common ending but it just sticks out in my mind for some reason.
Chandler#81 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Super Bowl XXV I vote for Wayne's World: Ending II Too bad SBXXV didn't provide alternate endings..
dib Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 While not a movie- The Twilight Zone episode: An Occurence at Owl Creek bridge.
Buftex Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Exactly. Knowing this, and that the kid can see dead people from the trailers, it wasn't hard for me to figure out either. As soon as Bruce Willis gets shot my friend made a comment jokingly to me in the theater that the movie was over because the main character was dead. I laughed and then thought to myself maybe that is it. For the rest of the film I tried finding proof he wasn't dead and then it became more and more obvious he was. And I'll second the vote for The Prestige. That movie is amazing. When I saw the "Sixth Sense" I had no idea what it was about, hadn't even heard of it...a buddy of mine wanted me to watch it on his new home theater system...I figured out, real early on, the "secret"...I still thought it was a pretty great movie, despite Bruce Willis being in it. I didn't figure it out, because I am so smart, just that I was a huge Star Trek nerd...the concept had been hashed and re-hashed dozens of times before....
HopsGuy Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 In high school French class, we saw "Les Diabolique". It was pretty awesome for movies with a twist. It was remade in '96 with Sharon Stone. I'm probably partially brain-dead, as I didn't figure out "Sixth Sense" until about 20 seconds before the reveal. The thing I remember from that movie was that I was on a double date and the previews included "Fight Club". When that trailer ended, the other guy and I said, "That looks freakin' awesome!" while both girls said "Who is going to see THAT?".
BB27 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Awesome movie. Saw it again recently on A&E or some other cable channel. Who says older movies can't be good?
Astrojanitor Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Awesome movie. Saw it again recently on A&E or some other cable channel. Who says older movies can't be good? Nobody says that
Wooderson Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Nobody says that Word. I love older movies. They are the best ones. Real character development, thought-provoking plots, cigarettes and liquor in every scene, and no need for crazy CGI or huge budgets to create a masterpiece.
bbb Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 "Nobody says that"" They should. I really do not like older movies much at all.
