Just trying to get a list of movies that you can only watch once because of the surprise twist ending.
Example:
The Usual Suspects
The Game
The Crying Game
Also, PLEASE don't reveal the ending.
Thanks!!!
-
The Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Pretty much any M Night Whatevermalan movie.
-
some more...
Fight Club
12 Monkeys
Seven
(all three of these have Brad Pitt in them. curious...)
-
The Others [actually the twist is evident sometime before the end]
Vanilla Sky/Open Your Eyes [again you sort of guess what's going on before the very end]
-
Doesn't *knowing* that there is a suprise ending sorta' ruin the fact that there actually *is* a suprise ending?

Most of those movies fun to watch after you know the ending.
I could only watch Signs once, but not because of the ending.
-
Memento

The fun is trying to guess what the ending is. Usual Suspects, there was no way to guess that endings.... same could be said about The Game or Sixth Sense.

I thought of a good movie I can't watch again because I know the suprise ending:
Old Yeller
-
The Empire Strikes Back.
Okay, just kidding. :P
-
The Empire Strikes Back.
Okay, just kidding.
-
The Empire Strikes Back.
Okay, just kidding. :P
Luke, I am your Father!
I've never seen that film! I thought you said no spoilers? :'(
-
Drop Dead Fred
Office Space
Okay, not really, but I like both of those, so I thought I'd make you wonder if you should see them too.
Now:
Kiss The Girls
Double Jeapordy
-
jacobes ladder ( ok most people will wotk it out in the middle of the movie )
Donnie Darko
-
jacobes ladder ( ok most people will wotk it out in the middle of the movie )
I had no idea till the end
-
The Empire Strikes Back.

Luke, I am your Father!

What spoiler? That Yoda is Luke's father? ;)
-
The Empire Strikes Back.
Okay, just kidding.

...if there was someone geeky enough to be on this board, and they havent seen the original trilogy...
Then you're just a geek-pretender trying to fit in amongst us, but we've sussed you out....begone lest ChadTower hears of this and brings his boot......the BIG ONE!

AKA topic - "What movies are based on Twilight Zone episodes". ;D However I personally don't count Vanilla Sky, as I could get any random script and just add that ending and go AH HA!
Memento is an awesome movie, although for some stupid reason the track markers for just the first three scenes on the DVD(R4) are in the *middle* of the scenes rather than on the ends. So you can watch it "backwards" right up until you get near the "end".
New ones:
- The Village
- A Beautiful Mind
- Enigma
- Screamers
- Dark City
- Planet of the Apes (as with Star Wars, how could you *not* know)
- The Lord Of The Rings has two particular twists. Sharky's identity would have been the third had it not been cut.
Honourable mentions (small but cool twists):
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show
- The Princess Bride
- Ocean's 11
- Blade Runner
- the Angel episode where Conner is born.
- and of course, "To Serve Man"...
-
I'm totally surprised no one mentioned "Wild Things"
-
Soylent Green!
-
The Empire Strikes Back.
Okay, just kidding. :P

i seriously hope youre joking, hehe.
if there was someone geeky enough to be on this board, and they havent seen the original trilogy, well then youre not a geek and you should leave till you watch them
Geekdom is retained, I was only kidding! ;D
In fact when episode I was released I was due to start work in America so I flew over a day early to make sure I had time to see it as it hadn't been released in the UK yet.
Is that Geeky enough?
-
- Blade Runner
Only if your smart enough to realize, some dont even get it.

Thank god and Jesus that Peter Jackson had the presence of mind to cut Sharky out of the movies. SOOOO after-school special. That part of the book is retarded and totally anticlimactic.
-
Baywatch the movie
Floyd10: The musical - The Movie
SPOILER: It's a trick. Don't watch it. The twist is they make you waste time watching it.
-
- Blade Runner

Depends whether you watch the original (which has an awful ending apparently imposed by the studio) or the director's cut.

I'm not full of crap, but I did grow up with kidney problems.
Correlation??? What in the movie stood out to you?
I'm curious because my brother had Kidney problems his whole life, just received a transplant a couple of years ago, and I wonder if he'd pick up on it.

PM'd to avoid putting more spoilers in this thread than I already have.

TUS: You didn't have to be sick in any way to guess the ending of that movie. :( The very *first* scene eliminates the person who is supposed to be the main candidate. >:( That's hardly 'suspense' in my book. The rest of the movie plays out like a Kubrik-esque after school special.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
:P
-
throw momma from the train?
-
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
-
Magnet Eye's Avitar!! That always has a great ending. ;D
