\n16. Shutter Island (2010)
\n<\/strong>The movie: US Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is despatched along with his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) to Ashcliffe, an isolated psychiatric facility on Shutter Island. The pair are tasked with investigating a murderer who has seemingly vanished without a trace from within its walls…<\/p>\nWhat’s the twist? Surprise! Teddy’s not an agent – he’s actually Andrew Laeddis – a convicted killer who murdered his wife after she murdered their three children. Yeah, not a happy twist, this one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n14. Primal Fear (1996)
\n<\/strong>The movie: In the dock for a grisly murder, altar boy Aaron Stampler (Edward Norton in his first-ever role) pleads diminished responsibility on account of his split personality, a condition that causes him to veer between stammering innocent and twisted killer. That’s alright though, he’s got defense attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) to help him achieve justice…<\/p>\nWhat’s the twist? Once his lawyer has got him off the hook, Stampler reveals that the innocent side of his personality was mere performance. There is no “Roy”: he’s a killer to the core.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n9. Planet Of The Apes (1968)
\n<\/strong>The movie: Having crash-landed on a foreign planet, gruff astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) and his crew discover a strange society in which a group of apes has evolved into humanoid creatures with the power of speech.<\/p>\nWhat’s the twist? This strange planet is none other than Earth itself, turned into a post-apocalyptic nightmare by the greed and foolishness of mankind. The half-submerged Statue of Liberty in the last shot is what tips him off. Since then that iconic shot has made its way onto the DVD cover, so not much of a twist anymore…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Gem’s list is a good one.\u00a0 There were several on it that didn’t make my list that I absolutely loved. Here’s why a few of them didn’t make my top three and why one did:<\/p>\n
\n- The Usual Suspects<\/em> didn’t make my top three because it’s #1 on Gem’s list and I figured everyone knows about it.<\/li>\n
- The Sixth Sense<\/em> is in the same ballpark as The Usual Suspects<\/em>, but another reason I didn’t pick it is because I figured out the twist very early in the movie.\u00a0 It was cool watching it all play out and to see I was right.<\/li>\n
- Se7en<\/em> is a favorite of mine.\u00a0 The ending was as shocking as some of the others but I love the brilliance of it.<\/li>\n
- Psycho<\/em> is like the grandfather of twist endings.\u00a0 Most everyone knows the twist before they see Psycho<\/em> because of its fame.<\/li>\n
- I’m not a big Star Wars<\/em> fan so I wasn’t shocked to find out who the baby’s daddy was.<\/li>\n
- I was 9 or 10 years old when I saw Planet of the Apes<\/em> on its initial release.\u00a0 I love the movie and the ending shocked this kid!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
