Planet of the Apes.
The twist is kind of ruined by them depicting it on the cover of the video/dvd, but its still a great ending.
And I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet but The Manchurian Candidate (the original not the remake) has a nice twist midway through.
Its also my my favourite film ever.
Plot twists
Mikey wrote:Enkidu - good call with Vertigo. How do you include Frailty - I saw that coming about 2.5 minutes into the film - and Great Expectations, which was based on one of the more famous English-language novels ever?
My first encounter with Great Expectations was the David Lean film when I was a kid. Possibly my first encounter with a twist. Frailty caught me completely by surprise; I thought it was a psychological thriller and the sudden twist into American Gothic horror was entirely unexpected.
