What's your favorite movie plot twist of all time?
Jacob's Ladder comes to mind. So does Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Other than the ones in these movies? Nighthawks, with Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, and Rutger Hauer.
irreversible
Chinatown
The Mist, hands down. It's such a great and head-spinning ending that comes out of left field. It's such an amazing twist that watching a second time is difficult because you know everything you need to, to realize that nothing is what it seems.
My all-time favourite is always in Big Fish, where it turns out that the dad was a giant fish all along.
Gets me every time.
😂
I think that was a metaphor but it’s still an incredible movie
Actually a great example of a twist because it didnt exactly nullify everything but just added some common sense into it. The dad always wanted to keep the audience on it's toes and what the point in saying a boring story anyway , so he added a bit of spice ( maybe even more than a bit sometimes ) but it didn't justify his son behavior and in the end he kinda realized that. His father innocent lies didn't harm anybody , they actually made ppl have fun , whats so bad about that?
That wasn't real bro
@@DDiez15 it.s a joke, dude 😅
I thought we weren't supposed to talk about fight club
I don’t know what you are talking about..
Talk about what?..
Who
Good one 👍👌
Idk what your talking about if your in the mind of Edward norton.
But what makes Coco even more depressing is when Hector finally sees Coco you realize Hector never saw her grow up or anything.
Holy shit… you’re right 😮
The Sixth Sense has the most famous plot twist of the last twenty five years, so by not including it on this list the Looper staff are desperately trying to shock us with their own twist since they know that everyone who watches this video expects The Sixth Sense to be on this list.
It's very early in the movie that you get what is going on. I don't get the hype.
@@CordeliaWagner1999 Seriously? That movie has been out for 24 years and is now the epitome of movies with twist endings. Its impossible to watch A Sixth Sense now without knowing there's a twist and once you know, I agree that its easy to pick, but if you watched without knowing it had a twist, I highly doubt you'd pick it sorry.
@@CordeliaWagner1999 That happens only if you know beforehand that there's a twist, otherwise NEVER
@@_sayandasBecause that twist makes zero sense. Twists supposed to be believable, and 6th sense has most absurd twist.
Primal Fear is one of the most famous plot twists ever.
Frailty never gets any mentions but had one hell of a plot twist.
Similar to Barbarian, it has multiple twists and it still works. So underrated.
Fraility is really a great Movie= a real unknown Sleeper.
One of my top horror, thriller movies, this thing is excellent and right up there with session 9
@@spittinvenom9843 - If you were referring to Frailty- I don't think of it as a Horror Movie. It is a Thriller and a Mystery. I think it is hard to categorize thta Movie. It definitely is a Thriller and a Mystery Movie. But it is also a Religious or Spiritual Movie.
@@spittinvenom9843 Loved session 9! "I live in the weak & wounded, doc"
Hannibal Lecter in the ambulance. The Sixth Sense ending, Fallen with Denzel Washington and John Goodman, Shutter Island, Seven, Star Wars Episode V, The Descent, Memento, The Others, and so many more.
I can't really call the first example a plot twist. However, I saw the movie before reading the book. However, when they opened the elevator access door, I KNEW Lecter was in the ambulance. I can't explain how I put that together, it just popped into my head.
The Prestige? Anyway, these are my favorite kind of movies.
"Have you anything to say?" "Abracadabra."
The real transported man!
@@MrTraxSta best twist ending in cinema IMO
What a movie ... Nolan is a genius. Nobody comes even close to his talent from our generation.
The thumbnail is from a movie with a remarkable plot twist that is not actually in the list. It's called "Goodnight Mommy" (2014)
Thanks for that I was wondering what it was. Why even show it FFS.
Isn't it funny that 2 iconic movie lines were yelled by the same person (Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes)? Charleton Heston is one of the greats!!
You could also swap the line from POTA into Soylent Green and it would still work. You could transpose the line from Soylent Green into POTA and it would be absurdly hilarious. Seriously, picture it: Heston kneeling before the half submerged Statue of Liberty and screaming "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!". The apes would then look at each other quizzically and ask, "Who the f__k is Soylent Green??". Best meta twist ending ever.
The Sixth Sense not in the list?
I was shocked too
Picking Unbreakable over The Sixth Sense is ridiculous.
Yeah thats kinda nuts. To me its the biggest twist of alltime. No one saw that coming on the first viewing. Even the "I see dead people" is a great reveal but ruined in the trailer.
I would have included Empire Strikes Back. Darth Vader: "No, I am Your Father!" (Sadly, if you've seen the prequel trilogy first, that's not much of a twist)
Having a "best twists" video without including Empire is just laughable.
There was a great video circulating online with this eight year old watching Empire Strikes Back, and when Darth Vader drops that huge reveal the look on her face, the utter shock bordering on horror, is awesome. It made me wish I still had that sense of wonder in me, to have a film affect me so, but I fear I've grown too cynical.
It's not a good twist. It comes completely out of nowhere, no hint of it whatsoever. It's like they jsut thought of the craziest thing they could think of for shock value. And then Luke just kind of believes it lol. Such an unrealistic response to such a ludacris statement. Surely he'd be doubting it, laughing, asking wtf he's talking about. A good twist is something unexpected but looking back you could see hints of it. Shutter Island and Fight Club are prime examples of this. Vader being his father is just...there's nothing to it but it being thrown in for shock.
@@stoopidpursun8140 No, I saw this at the movies and thought it was not particularly interesting or relevant to the story I was seeing. The idea had legs though and all the subsequent movies made a big deal of it.
The game with Micheal Douglas
That movie was a ride for sure. I would add Primal Fear and Seven.
PLEASE tell me how Primal Fear isn’t on this list.
lol yep I was annoyed it was'nt here
It's probably dated and might even be "problematic" but in its time, "The Crying Game" had a pretty widely-discussed twist.
how do you not have 7 and Primal Fear? 2 of the best!
What about No Way Out with Kevin Costner. That has a great twist.
Yes. Loved that film. Will Patton is an underrated actor and one of my favorite audiobook narrators.
That was bananas! So clever
Completely unpredictable and my number one choice.
How is Identity not on this list? Not one twist, but two and both are earth shattering.
that movie was such dogshit, holy balls. how do people like that thing?
No "Oldboy" (Korean version)? I'd put it above "The Mist" and "Unbreakable", personally.
Incendies.
100%
M. Night, during his hay days, made movies that had such mind boggling plot twist that it still amazes me what happened to his stroy telling now. The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village and lastly The Visit (shot as a found footage)
The memories of Severus Snape changed all 8 Harry Potter-Movies and books. “Expecto Patronum!” From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: “After all this time?” - “Always,” said Snape.
Movies maybe, but in books it wasn't really a twist, if had all been clear by then for a long time
it didn't change a thing. he had the hots for lily we knew that already. he occasionally helped the good side we also knew that. that scene wasn't a plot twist it was a shitty but ultimately failed try at redemption.
The twist at the end of atonement, very sad and heartbreaking
When I rented Fight Club on vhs at the local video store, the attending girl warned me that there would be a plot twist. Somehow while watching the movie I totally forgot about her warning and was blown away by the twist.
Thats cool.
Most people dont spot that Marla isnt real on the first watching.
Marla is 'real'...
Primal Fear put Edward Norton on the radar. One of, if not the best, plot twists ever.
I think there's no greater twist than Predestination.
Malignant has to go on the list as one of the more creative shockers.
They should add sixth sense and shawshank redemption
How can Predestination not be on this list?
People seem to always leave out the movie “Wild Things”. So many crazy twists and the best one appearing in the ending credits. Just WOW!😎👏🏽
can you elaborate?
@@powlowfulWithout spoiling it for anyone who’s yet to see it?🤔. I’m not sure. Lol. Have you seen it?
such a dumb wanna be movie
@@Dias_De_Noe A wanna be movie? Wanting to be what? 😼. Are you comparing it to another movie?
surprised that Memento was not included
I don't think I would have put it togethr myself, but it's wild that Psycho and Friday the 13th part 1 have opposite twists...
The Matrix (1999) awakening of Neo, not knowing (together with us - the movie audience) that he was living in a completely fabricated virtual reality, while in actuality his whole life has been in complete isolation in a cocoon in some horrific dystopian world, is still the greatest plot twist for me in movie history. Interestingly, still remember that back there where some people I knew who didn't grasp it, and thought he was teleported or so - so big was the plot twist that, apparently, they couldn't wrap their heads around it.
Hard to call it a twist when it's the premise of the entire movie.
@@akadapper I guess you had been subjected to a "spoiler" before you saw the movie. ;-) If not, it is one of the most genuine twists in movie history.
@@akadapper The original premise of the movie (before it became huge) and how it starts is "What is the Matrix?" And yeah a lot of people don't get it at first. Maybe people don't consider it a "plot twist" because the twist isn't in the plot, its with reality.
Shutter Island is one of my favourite movies, it gets better every time you watch it!
The Mist has to win for most hopeless gut-wrentching ending...
I would include The Skeleton Key, Memento, and Dead Again on this list, but this is a good list.
I saw Planet of the Apes when i was a kid. I never got the twist because i assumed it was Earth from the beginning. Just look at it. WHY would anyone assume it was a different planet?
They were to go on a long voyage into deep space nowhere near Earth.
You dam dirty apes 🦍🐵🐒 (and NASA mechanics)
Yeah me too lol
Same
I'm surprised that you didn't put Angelheart in this list. Brilliant film with a cracking ending
Excellent choice! 👍
the thing with fight club is i was absolutely stoned out my mind when i first watched it, and spotted the hallucination of tyler within the first few scenes and because of my intoxication spent the entire time up until tyler was introduced pondering on it, and instantly realised what the twist was going to be
Note: Though a common misconception. The video is incorrect on what was taken off the bulletin board in the Usual Suspects. Everything Verbal used in the story of what happened was used solely for the fake names. Everything else was used in random comments to test the detective. Thus it was used solely for aliases.
The Orphanage's twist left me kinda traumatised, too bad it didn't make the list
You missed the real twist of Fight Club.
Marla isnt real either.
Ask yourself, why would someone come up to Jack and Tyler having a fight in a parking lot and ask "Can I be next" when you know that Jack *is* Tyler, and its just Tyler beating himself up?
If Tyler is imagining himself fighting, why not also be imagining fight club?
Oh yeah, The narrators name is Tyler Durden. Its printed on the plane tickets provided by his former work. Why would is former employer buy tickets in anyone elses name?
Thats far from all, but it provides a few threads to pick at, and the rest should unravel pretty quickly from here ;)
Its a magnificaent film and it doesnt waste a single frame.
Soylent Green is a wonderful movie that I was amazed by at the age of 8. The original Andromeda Strain was equally as good.
I think "Hide and Seek" with Robert De Niro deserves a spot here
one of my favorite twist endings is actually from the movie Lucky Number Slevin. spoilers ahead:
way back in the day some new mob bosses were taking over and found out about a fix on a race horse, mad at the situation they slaughtered everyone involved. They had to hire a specialist for one of the murders because of how bad it was, killing a kid. flash forward to the present and a man named slevin winds up coming to his buddies house only to find him missing. the buddy happens to be in debt to two rival mob bosses who both call in the debt and mistake slevin for the buddy.
plot twist, not only is slevin the kid, but he's also killed the "buddy" and taken his place in order to get to the two mob bosses because they weren't always rivals, they were the new mob bosses that had his family and tried to have him killed. he is assisted by the assassin who was hired to kill him.
fucking awesome movie.
I love the usual suspects. There is so much word play in there. Keyser means emperor in many different languages, soze is turkish for verbal, verbal means, Kint is hungarian for outside, oratory. so many things. All together he is the King of speaking. His whole story comes from outside sources not actual events.
Minor correction, in Coco. Hector is Miguel's great great grandfather, his great grandfather was Papa Julio, coco's late husband.
How did Se7en not make this list?
Because it has no twist?
whats the twist?
The movie in the thumbnail, Goodnight Mommy, has one of the biggest movie twists. At least in the original German version of the movie. That movie is insane
The original _Planet of the Apes_ from 1968 is in my opinion the best version ever filmed. It's really the plot twist at the end that really sells it. Later reboots kind of made it such that humans made the apes intelligent and it backfired. But that wasn't the original idea. The original film was made during the peak of Cold War, when it was uncertain wether USA and USSR will start a World War III and potentially launch nukes at each other, and film makers tried to warn us about the implications about the nuclear race and the tension between both countries. The biggest irony is that even today, the film still is fairly on point and shows a real possibility of a nuclear war.
Les Diaboliques my number 1
I thought the "suprise" in 'Soylent Green' was pretty obvious and ... anyway, a perfectly sensible and logical answer to the problem!
Shocked the ending of 1987s no way out is one of the best plot twist endings ever done
Incendies. It is a cinematic masterpiece but it still haunts me to this day.
I absolutely LOVE Unbreakable... butnin no waybdoes it belong on the list before 6th Sense.
It wasn’t really a twist, but a validation for Mr. Glass and comic book fans.
Including the Others and not the contemporary Sixth Sense (except as a side note) is the most bizarre plot twist in this whole video.
I’ve never been fooled by M night Shyamalan, his twist are always so evident.
"Primal Fear" & "Moana" definitely deserves spots here.
Unfortunately I had already read Primal Fear first.
@@mechanic6682 I didn't realize Primal Fear was a novel also. Is it completely different from the film?
What's the twist in Moana ?
@@ashleylawrence2232 Te Ka Was Te Fiti All Along…
@@estx1980 Oh true true.
One of the best twists, that is usually omitted in such lists, is the one in "Arlington road" (1999). You watch the movie, and you know that something is not right, that there will be a twist...but you don't expect the one that comes
I honestly thought Splits plot twist at the end was crazy. When you're told this is an Unbreakable movie and a villain origin story, it completely changed the way you thought about the entire film you just watched. I had literal full body chills in the theater.
Thanks so much for this video, I watched a couple of the movies you talked about and wow, super entertaining.
I think Laura (1944) a film noir murder mystery has the greatest plot twist. I don't want to say what it is, but it turns the whole investigation on its head !
Should have mentioned Shattered with Tom Berenger. That was the very first movie that hit me hard with a twist ending.
Great flick
Ya'll do a greatest plot twist in history list and "The Sixth Sense" isn’t on it?
Also, in The usual suspects, they know what he looks like now... so they should be able to distribute pictures around the world.
Plastic surgery.....plus Sozay has probably gone deep underground for good. Wont ever get a better chance.
Unbreakable, but not Sixth Sense? C'mon son...
You do know rhey might have already done a video with those in the list.
That Mist twist, 😲 whew.... that's a twist😬
No mention of The Crying Game or Witness for the Prosecution?
Funny that you mention "Witness for the Prosecution." The original short story has one "surprise" ending. The stage play added a second surprise ending, and the movie added a third surprise anding.
I love what you do
I think the movie after unbreakable had the better twist . Nobody knew Split was the sequel to unbreakable until the last seconds of the film . This also made viewers realize that it was going to all be a trilogy and a 3rd movie must be coming , and it did
Psycho 2 is awesome too with another epic twist
Actually Psycho 3 is a bit typical 80s slasher bit still really good
Psycho 4 wraps up the norman bates storyline very well also gives big insight to his childhood for the first time and all 4 have anthony perkins as norman
Alfredo Corleone being found out by Michael Corleone in the Godfather Part 2 should definitely have been added
While I love many of these, you left out the film with the craziest, most unforgettable plot twist in history, and none of these even come close. "Predestination" (2014, Ethan Hawke). Check it out!
Pretty good plot twists. I like it. You could put when Vader said he's Luke's father. But great plot twists.
Moon is so damn great!
I mean the Coco twist was something that seemed pretty obvious, if only for the fact that everyone is always looking for them now ever since The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Saw etc. The real story of that movie is how abuelita is the true villain, along with De La Cruz, for refusing to let anyone in her family experience life on their own. Mama Imelda had a reason for animosity, but Miguel’s Abuelita is a selfish & vile person who blindly follows the rules of a Women she barely knew, but walks around espousing them like she created them. Between her, the grandmother from Encanto, marlin, & Queen Elinor there is a Mount Rushmore of secret villains in Disney/pixar movies. Also Nemo’s mom deserves a shoutout for being selfish, thinking she could safe the eggs & essentially leaving Marlin alone for life.
Im so blesses to see Moom in the list
Funny, that I was certain I've seen them all... :)
(I'm old. I've seen Fight Club at the movies)
By the way: Shutter Island, while still a very well made movie, was by far the most obvious of the whole bunch.
Us genuinely shocked me
Predestination
A phenomenal movie that is so underappreciated and very few people seem to know about this fantastic flick
Thanks for posting this video.
I can't watch this one because of possible spoilers!
Psycho, The Hours, The sixth sense and, The Others are my favorites
I was a counselor at Crystal Lake, NY. It was filmed at various camps in WNY. We watched it at the end of the summer!
no you weren't. Camp Crystal Lake from Friday the 13th was a boyscout camp in Blairstown NJ where the film was made. No part of Friday the 13th was filmed anywhere in New York. You do realize this information is easy to google so I'm not sure why you are trying to brag about something that you had nothing to do with and no part of. Incidentally I know this because I grew up in Sussex County New Jersey about 12 miles from where it was filmed and actually worked in a camp in stokes state forrest that resembled the camp in the film although it wasn't filmed there. Many of the camps in NJ were set up in a similar manner. I worked there the summer it came out so I actually had the real experience of working at a similar camp in the same area it was filmed, the year it was released. Good grief.
Anyone know the name of the song they are playing in the background!? zp
The Skin I Live In has the best and most ingenious twists I’ve ever seen. Warning: it’s a Pedro Almodóvar film, so be ready for some kink.
What movie is the thumbnail from? And what’s its twist ?
It’s from “Goodnight Mommy”
I can’t speak for other people, but it was an easy one to figure out. It was still a decent movie though, so I don’t want to ruin it, check out the movie
I recently watched an old horror gem "Dead and Buried" and that has a terrific twist
definitely.
The Book of Eli is a pretty good twist. I need to watch many of theses.
Sherlock, Scandal in Belgravia had a great twist. So good I think a lot of people missed it.
The saddest one I ever saw was The Hours. Damn, talk about tugging on the heart strings.
One of my favorite movies. I agree with you about The Hours.
The twist at the end of Shattered (1991) is very surprising, but it also makes no sense.
It does, you just have to stretch your thinking more than usual. But it was a solid twist.
This is a BOLD list
Barbarian? Really? I get that you need to have at least one modern film on the list for the algorithm to push it but SERIOUSLY?
I immediate thought about the mist... what an ending..
Tom Berenger in 1991's 'Shattered'.
I thought you weren't supposed to talk about Fight Club
Correction, in "the others" it's not WW2 but a civil war
No Way Out(1987) - American hero investigates death of woman. She is mistress of a powerful leader. His team concocts a story that Russians were behind her death when it was the leader who had done it. But in the closing moments it was revealed that the hero who was investigating/also slept with the mistress was actually a Russian sleeper agent.
The usual suspects had the best plot twist of all time
i wish i hadn't seen the "plot twist" early on in the first viewing of 'Usual Suspects' in the cinema, so i'd have had to watch it again to get all the easter eggs. As it was. that was my only full viewing.
One of my favorite plots is from the Spanish film "Contratiempo". For those who haven't seen this film, I recommend it. It's a police thriller.
The first time I watched Saw my jaw was on the floor the entire credits. Got my hook line sinker
