I hear that when Empire Strikes Back and Vader tells Luke who he truly is that everyone just absolutely lost their minds. -u/boredbrowser1
2.
Psycho. It starts out being about a woman on the run with a suitcase full of money and then turns into a completely different movie a third of the way in. -u/didnsignup4dis
3.
The first time watching fight club is way up there for me. -u/Tortion
4.
I'm mentioning this movie not because it is the best but rather because it is hard to find digitally for some reason but the movie "The Others" with Nicole Kidman has a great twist for its time. -u/Mister_JayB
5.
The Usual Suspects. "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." -u/No-Acanthisitta423
6.
Orphan was pretty f**ked up. -u/Princess-Kit-Kat
7.
Primal Fear with Richard Gere and Ed Norton -u/ladydragon75
8.
Memento -u/hystorymystory
9.
10 Cloverfield Lane. I love this movie and it's sometimes a hard watch for me because John Goodman behaves exactly like my father, and his performance is both terrifying and incredible, but the whole film is phenomenal and the ending was like, omg wtf*****ck. -u/Rona_Lightfoot
10.
Monty python and the holy grail , nobody expected it to end like that in all honesty. -u/Tub_of_jam66
11.
Shawshank Redemption when Andy doesn’t come out for head count and you wonder if he finally offed himself because he couldn’t take it anymore only to find out he dug a freaking tunnel with a rock hammer. -u/WhoaButter
12.
Arrival -u/BrittLee8
13.
The Sixth Sense -u/Ultraviolent-Ray
14.
Crazy, Stupid Love has not one but two of the best twists ever for a rom-com! I had randomly put it on one night thinking it would be a generic run of the mill comedy but the setups are so good that those twists come out of nowhere but are still fantastic. -u/jleichter18
15.
Shutter Island. -u/al3x_mp4
16.
The Game with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn -u/bmallett2
17.
PARASITE The scene where that maid tried to get into that secret basement just turned the movie upside down. That was so unexpected! -u/SaabudaanaKhichadi
18.
The mist. The ending was terrible but in a good way like the twist was heartbreaking but it was so good. -u/ihorderocks
19.
The Machinist. I was rocked…. Like someone had just slapped me. -u/watermelon-4-lyf
20.
From Dusk Till Dawn. I like the transition from normal movie to vampire action. -u/Sasha_Privalov

Se7en -u/brotato85
22.
The Skeleton Key -u/beanedjibe
23.
Gone girl! -u/ParsnipBusy
