It's not a twist. I think he is referring to the sudden death at the end (saving spoilers).

Is there any other animated disney flick that has a sad ending? I can't think of one (I guess pochahontas could count.)

Bambi

The only thing that keeps me from crying is knowing how good bambi's mom must have tasted on the grill...yum

Usual Suspects has to be on any top five list. It is infamous for it's twist.

1. The Sixth Sense
2. The Usual Suspects
3. Fight Club
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. The Ring

After reading the list, I have to give honorable mentions to Oldboy and Presumed Innocent.

I guess I was just that intuitive (not really), but Primal Fear didn't sneak up on me at all.
