Films with surprise endings - No spoilers!

Recommended Posts

I was just thinking about feature films whereby I was stunned by a shocking or surprising ending. Three came immediately to mind, first must be The Sixth Sense, where Bruce Willis has been a ghost throughout the whole movie, even though it shows he is badly wounded in the first scenes. Secondly, Seven when the head of detective Brad Pitt's wife gets delivered to him and he then commits the seventh deadly sin himself i.e. revenge. Thirdly A Beautiful Mind, when all Russel Crowe's tormentors are proven to be part of his schizophrenia and not real people. Ironically my own daughter suffers from that terrible illness, but I still missed it until the end.

 

Anybody think of others?

Not bragging but I knew the sixth sense 'surprise' way before the end of the film, it was obvious.

Agree on Primal Fear, The Game and The Usual Suspects. Don't think I have seen the rest of your list. I tried with Jacob's Ladder, but gave up on it long before the end, can't remember why.

The surprise was that the southpaw won the bout with a solid right uppercut, nobody saw that coming especially the other boxer .:hihi:

The two recent Star Wars films for me. How fans kept those surprises quiet on the net amazed me.

Erm, didn't you say 'no spoilers!', and then went on to give at least 3 massive spoilers?
