Guest   #13 Posted October 13, 2017 Erm, didn't you say 'no spoilers!', and then went on to give at least 3 massive spoilers? 'No spoilers!' wasn't part of the thread title when I posted. Must have been added without checking the content of the first post.  ---------- Post added 13-10-2017 at 15:05 ----------  Arlington Road and Jacob's Ladder are very underrated films. Arlington Road is a great film; excellent actors too: Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. I haven't seen it in ages, but as I recall it's an example of a twisty film where the twist is genuinely a surprise. It also upsets a few mainstream thriller conventions.  Shutter Island is a favourite as well, but the book is more satisfying.

Â "No spoilers" was not part of my thread title, it was added by the mods I assume. As all the films I mentioned were relatively old and quite famous, I assumed everybody had seen them and was just giving out what surprised me at the time of watching them. Sorry if I did spoil it for anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sorry if I did spoil it for anyone.  I've seen those, but it did make me giggle when seeing the title and then the first post!  Shutter Island is pretty good. Identity is another one that's similar. The Others The Machinist - Christian Bale's best film I reckon Oldboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Olive   10 #17 Posted October 13, 2017 The twist in The Others is a classic.  I worked out what was going on in 6th Sense too, but it was still good when the reveal came around.  I thought The Village (another of M Night Shyalaman's) had a fabulous twist.  A more recent one is The Limehouse Golem, which I'll say no more about, since it's probably still out in the cinemas, but it keeps you guessing (even after the reveal).

hackey lad   3,968 #23 Posted October 13, 2017 The original Carrie movie from the 70s got me hooked on Stephen King couldn't do that in the book though  bit off topic , but I read the Bachman novels , written by Stephen King under a pseudonym . One of the stories was The Running Man and was far superior to the crappy film that followed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
