No one mentions 'Unbreakable' or 'Donnie Darko'(original cut) Or 'Cypher' with lucy lui, 12 monkeys, or the ultimate, 'DARK CITY'!:smile:
I forgot about foreign films. If you like foreign film, you might like Lust, Caution or an old French film: The Woman Next Door.
It's interesting how many of us have similar tastes!
My choices would be:
- Memento
- Old Boy (I love that movie but it is so difficult to sit through after the first time round!)
- Dark City - action oriented but excellent!
- Lucky Number Slevin - fun but formulaic
- The Matador - Pierce Brosnan at his finest

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet:
"A Perfect Murder" - excellent thriller with many twists. Michael Douglas, Viggo Mortensen and Gweneth Paltrow.

Yeah, but if you know there is a great/clever twist coming up at the end isn't that kind of a spoiler in itself? :wink:
Oh yeah, all of the SAW series movies.
The Life Before Her Eyes - has a great twist.
Mr. Brooks - is real good, not sure if its twisty though.

CONFIDENCE. This movie was all pretty much based on twists, zigs and zags.
Ocean's 11, the Clooney version. Pretty much the only good Oceans movie.

remember to keep it to movies with twists..
and to those you said The village is worth watching can send me $7 each. I was laughing with my brothers watching that movie and we knew what was coming pretty much before hand, it also was NOTHING like it was advertised about..being scary and such. BS.
I recommend SEVEN for a nice twist and good ol' Donny Darko.

Too Canadian for me, plus my TV could not accurately display a certain shade of yellow. My whole life changed after that.

Argh - you beat me to it. I saw that in part at the hotel the other night (I'd seen it before). A few others:
Anti-Trust (you never know who's doing what)
The Whole Nine Yards (absolutely hilarious but an interesting finish)
The Constant Gardener (I love how he "loses" and yet "wins" at the end)
