Both are good, but I prefer Fight Club overall.

Sixth Sense just sort of falls into the category of "interesting twist."

Primal Fear and The Preestige are good calls.

But I choose Usual Suspects out of these two.

And before Bruce Jenner...

And before the Kardashians...

There was the most shocking twist in the early 90's when nobody knew what would happen with Target trans bathrooms, all this non-gender, tranny modern day talk, etc.

The Crying Game...that was so shocking at the time...everyone was like, wait, wut? Was that a dick?

I remember thinking the Usual Suspects was a bit of a cheat but I guess it depends if you had a legit chance to read the board or the bottom of the coffee cup before the big reveal. The board was in the background but I thought it was far away and blurred so you couldn't see anything but I could be wrong about that.

Sixth Sense had it in front of your face, like another poster said. The drawback was everybody figured it out at some point before the official reveal but it wasn't a cheat.

And don't give me that "Soze means verbal" shite. I didn't bring my Hungarian translator with me to see the movie.

I knew the twist in Sixth Sense 5 minutes into the movie. I hadn't seen any spoilers, only knew that there was a twist. Ruined it


Yep. I hate it when reviews tell us there is a surprise twist. Well, it's not a surprise anymore MF.

Now I'm looking for it, and I predicted the twists in The Crying Game, The Sixth Sense, and The Usual Suspects (but it took more than 5 minutes).

A friend gave us a movie and said I would "never guess who the killer is." I guessed it before the opening credits finished when they showed clean cut Blair Underwood was in it.

If I had not been told there were surprise twists in those movies, I might not have been scrutinizing them for the twist and would have enjoyed them much more.

Sixth Sense.....The ending totally took me by surprise.
Usual Suspects wasn't as big a shock.

No Way Out


Coming to post this as well

The Sixth Sense you starting getting the idea as the movie progressed. Usual Suspects I after rewatching little things had popped up during the movie you realize could have tipped you off but were very subtle not like in Sixth Sense. In No Way Out I had no clue what was going on and the ending I was like rewind and backup to what just happened.

The Game was another interesting twist as well.

Prestige was great but I would not call it the best surprise ending. Anyone could see that Christian bale was playing both of the roles. The makeup wasn't that good. Lol.

The Crying Game


I'm not that guy that claims to have seen the twist in every movie coming, but...

After seeing The Crying Game, my wife turned to me and said, "I thought there was some big shocking twist." When I told her what the twist was, she said, "Seriously? We weren't supposed to know that from the start?"

Prestige was interesting because there were like 3 separate plot twists
