[jimpritchard]

Sorry if this has been done before, but could not find a thread.. .feel free to merge if I did not look hard enough...

Mine is "The Game"......

Carlito's Way
Usual Suspects
Bridge too far (no real twist, Bogart just able to say title of the film at the end & it's in my top 10 films!)

+ 1 more for The Usual Suspects

However six answers in and no Italian Job?!?!?

Also;
Memento (now, where was I?)
The Thing (guess we'll just see what happens.)

arlington road. in most films with a twist you can sometimes guess at whats coming, but this is quite a curveball. completely ruins it on the second viewing though.

Three films that spring to mind,

Koyaanisqatsi

Delicatessen

No country for old men

I never did like the end of The Italian Job. I have always thought that they should have just faded the music out and rolled the end credits over the coach driving away and fade to black before the crash. i.e. They actually get away with it.

Mad Max 2 - The truck was full of sand!

[M3CHA-MONK3Y]

+1 The Thing

'Blow up'.

David Hemmings sits and watches a mime tennis game and throws them back an imaginary ball. Genious has nothing to do with anything.

'IF'

Students go machine gun crazy on their peers

'Rambo'

John Goes home "its a long road....."

'Cross of Iron'

Steiner laughs at the officer as he falls over looking for an Iron Cross to the sound of a german nursery rhyme.

[Baby Huey]

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia.

I could tell you the ending, but it's such a good film you should watch it yourself.

[Pesty]

We should make it 3 Pekinpah films.

How could I forget 'Wild bunch' also nominated in teh best begining of a film catagory

Of recent movies definitely 'The Mist' made from a short story by Stephen King. A brilliant ending that really shocks. I heard on a film podcast (Mark Kermode I think) that the director was offered money by the studio to maek the ending 'more hollywood' but he turned it down. A great 'B' movie.
