the village ending

The film adaptation of Macross is a film adaptation of Macross in Macross itself.

What happens in that?

Emile De Ravin

Thats a name i haven't heard in a while, what's she up to these days?

Robert Pattinson was in one of the Twin Towers on 9/11

Nobody remembers.

That tidle sweden chic being an alien. and killing zombies with a sword. I thought it was suspicious she was giving me a boner in other movies.

High Tension but only because it was so retarded

Guy goes to dad’s office, literally last 30 seconds it reveals it as the World Trade Center seconds before the first plane. Not kiddin

LMAO

The Invisible Dog
where you find out the dog was invisible the whole time

Miguel from Coco was in one of the Twin Towers on 9/11.

This seems like the kind of movie where you only watch it for the twist, its not a true twist that shocked masses of movie audiences.

Mount rushmore of plot twists
1. The Usual Suspects
2. Final Destination 5
3. Primal Fear
4. Scream

Madame Web remembering that oh yeah she's supposed to be blind and, as an afterthought, just going meh, have some of the fireworks hit her in the face

Yea, if we're going for the most out there surprising twist this takes the cake. Because it is logically impossible. I can't pick a most shocking or surprising twist, because most of them make sense in hindsight, and also, trying to remember the feeling and moment of a twist in hindsight is hard. But twists are kinda lame. Emotional moments like "I can't believe that just happened, but I knew it would" are better. Like Tony killing Chris.

Primal Fear was cool, because it was a twist upon a twist.

Impossible to guess if you haven't watched it, impossible to forget after you did.

fuck i forgot to attach an image and it turns out i have that shit where it restricts you from posting images temporarily unless you give Hiro your data
Movie is Serenity (2019)

I wouldn't count FD5 as a twist. More a cool Easter egg. On the same level as a post credit scene. It had nothing to do with the plot, and all the films end with "you can't escape the death cycle". But not really a twist.

You forgot Empire Strikes Back. Which should be number one. It seems silly now, but at the time, it was a big deal. My father never stopped bitching about the coworker who spoiled it for him.

What's the twist in it?

Vader being Luke's father.

Final Destination 4 was so bad one good idea for FD5 makes it look like the Mona Lisa + bringing Tony Todd back. All the other movies you listed are way above it.

KINO
I wonder what the reaction was on when it came out. Kind of surprised it didn't go viral.

Just read the synopsis. How did she ride in the back of a car with alex if she was the 1 driving? Wtf?

Are you baiting? People screaming out in front of theater lines "Vader is Luke's father" was the equivalent of the Harry Potter shit. Without the billboards.

There was a twist in this movie? I thought it was a straight forward timecrimes movie; granted its been forever since ive seen it.

Matchstick Men

Lotta people in here confuse a reveal for a plot twist.

The Skin I Live In has the darkest twist by far

Sixth Sense belongs on the Mount Rushmore of film twists. If you disagree you simply weren’t alive or were an infant when it came out.
Usual Suspects, Sixth Sense, Empire Strikes Back are locks more or less. Citizen Kane and Planet of the Apes were big twists for their time but now are so synonymous with the movie we don’t really know the effect they had. Fight Club is another contender.

You dumb fuck 9/11 was a plot twist. Suck the log of shit out of my asshole and eat it.

It's a decent movie. And I understand the flack it got for that. But I also appreciate, as someone who lost family in 9/11, that it showed people were just going about their day and then something happened. You could replace the plot with any other disaster, and people would relate. But it packs a punch. Ya know?

Bruce literally gets shot in the opening of the movie he was obviously dead

Most of the movie is an unremarkable dramedy about a young couple falling in love, except everyone uses early 2000s flip phones instead of late 2000s iphones. At the end of the movie, it's revealed that it's September 11 2001 and Robert Pattinson works at the WTC, and the movie ends just before the plane hits.

I agree

Citizen Kane

Is this a plot twist? It doesnt really change the plot. Its just the name the guy its based on used to call his girlfriend's pussy

Tl;dr the main protagonist is imagining the female love interest and serial killer in his head

Kevin finds Balinda tied up, and the Riddle Killer introduces himself as Slater (Bill Moseley). Sam rushes to Balinda's house and finds that the Riddle Killer, Slater, is real after all when she looks under the door and sees two pairs of shoes. Slater explains that he will have Kevin kill Balinda, then leave him to take the blame, as everyone will believe Kevin is the Riddle Killer. Jennifer arrives to find Kevin pointing a gun at himself. It turns out that both Slater and Sam are figments of Kevin's imagination; traumatized by Aunt Balinda's abuse, Kevin had imagined his friend Samantha and the boy with whom he had fought and had subconsciously imitated the real Riddle Killer. Jennifer convinces Kevin of this, and his visions of Slater and Sam vanish.

Kevin had said that the real Riddle Killer was right in front of their eyes, and Jennifer discovers while examining his wall of clippings that the hot dog vendor who had supposedly been given a book by the killer to give to her is at the front of the crowd in a photo, holding a camera. When captured, he confesses that he hates copycats and had meant to kill Kevin for copying him.

Kevin is sent to an institution and his sister visits him there.

The film also has a noticeable resemblance to the plot of a film script created by the character Donald Kaufman in the film Adaptation.

What twist is there? We witness it step by step. As another anon said, plot reveals aren't twists.

The Edge 1997

Why would you post the full plot in a thread about films with twists without spoilers?

What was the twist again? That Baldwin was banging Hopkins wife supermodel Elle McPherson and Hopkins killed him for it?

The bear

That whole paragraph is 30 second of screentime at the end, a twist exposition dump flashback

The bear is the devil

Not really a twist. It's so obvious Baldwin is banging Anthony Hopkins' wife

I have no intention of watching it. Spoonfeed me plz

Baldwin is banging Hopkins wife. Hopkins confronts him and Baldwin reveals he planned to kill him. It’s a weird twist because Alec saves his life earlier in the movie, and they go through a crazy life or death fight for survival against the bear and then Alec decides to go through with it anyway.

It's a film noir detective story and they keep dropping hints that he's a former spy or assassin or something like that but it turns out that he's an alien, and it really has no relevance to any of the story at all.

It IS a twist

Yeah anon that makes sense, I watched it only recently and found it quite decent but I also understand why people found it upsetting or tasteless, though I think it treated 9/11 respectfully for the most part. The ending is supposed to be shocking but also drive the themes of the movie home. Another disaster might have worked but not if you wanted to make something central to the NYC consciousness.
Not exactly, it's more of a coming of age film than a pure romance drama film centered on Pattinson's upper class New York scion character, think Catcher in the Rye. It's actually a pretty well made drama overall, Pattinson does a fine job acting. If you're paying attention, you can catch the dates, months, and seasons passing in 2000 and 2001 as we slowly get closer to 9/11. The gut punch twist, and make no mistake it is a twist, is that on the morning he gets his shit together in the final act of the movie, they slowly reveal that it is 9/11, and he goes to his father's office in the world trade center and we see the plane crash from the perspective of the other central characters. Then we flash forward to, iirc, 6 months later and see how the characters are putting their lives back together and the impact Robert's death had on them and how they choose to approach life. The biggest impacts are on the lead girl and how she chooses to live each day like it might be her last and not in fear, and on the dad who takes a bigger interest in spending time with his daughter instead of just financially supporting her lifestyle. Sounds stupidly obvious but it's pretty poignant in context.

My uncle got PISSED when he saw this movie (he was laid off from his job in the North Tower a week before the attacks and all of his coworkers were killed)

He must really hate the israelis for that.

Identity. Ten strangers wind up at a mysterious motel during a storm and don't know how they know each other, but someone's bumping them off one by one.
Do you want to know?
They are ALL split personalities in the mind of one person, the motel is just in his head, he's actually a murderer on death row, and a doctor is arguing he is insane. No, that isn't the twist, that's the first twist, it's actually threaded in the film. The second twist is in the last minute of the film. One personality had been killing off all the other personalities, and that personality is....the small child who was tagging along with his mom and dad! He's actually the personality of an evil killer and now he's in control of the body!

Thats weird. I only remember when it came out anons called it a bait and switch girlboss show so i just didnt bother watching it

Theres some shitty lifetime movie about a girl with an eating disorder or something and in the end she finally reconciles with her mother and she gets dropped off at school and the camera pans over to show its Columbine.

Sixth Sense is a boring ass movie, though. It subsists entirely on the twist.

I can believe it. I kind of doubt it's as will made and tasteful (for the most part) as remember me though.
