I feel like I quite dig a particular kind of movies with surprising ending ,e.g. The Usual suspects ,Saw ,CItizen Kane . Everything going on in the movie just totally draws your attention and it seems you can't afford missing any spot and at the same time it also messes with your mind . Nobody can see the end coming but it also quite makes sense for you . Would you guys share some other great movies in this kind ,please don't bother if the plot is boring from your perspective .

Two great movies with surprise endings come to mind: "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others". They caught me completely off guard.

Two great movies. The Sixth Sense is one of my favorites. Total surprise ending! Another one I really liked with a surprise ending was Identity, with Ray Liota and John Cusack. One I seen recently I didn't like that much but had a surprise ending was Repo Men.

"The Game." Have you ever seen it? I was quite blown away by the end, & I'd almost watch it again just to see if there was any forewarning! I won't give away the plot here, because nearly anything I could say would probably spoil it for readers, but suffice it to say I can't believe anyone could see the ending coming!

I will definitely go for the sixth sense and fight club for the most surprising ending of all movies I have seen.These movies just kept you off track of everything the movie was about untill the very last moment.Even to some extent I fill the number twenty three was a very surprising movies as well.

i have recently watched the movie The Mechanic and i loved it.. it's actually an action movie.. for a horror-thriller you can try Case 39.. its lead casts are renee zellweger, bradley cooper and ian mcshane.. for me, those were worth-watching movies..

I seen The Mechanic a few months ago, I loved the movie until I got to the end. It was too unrealistic for me and I felt like that messed up the ending of the story. I'm referring to the scene where they were pretty much playing bumper cars in the street and no police showed up or anything. The very last ending was better.

The Mechanic is pretty unrealistic i have to agree.. Case 39 is more on being possessed by a demon and with a twist.. :)

You mentioned my all time favorite Usual Suspects! Classic! There are two that come to mind, The Departed and Witness For The Prosecution. The first one is a crime drama and the other one is a mystery!That's all I can say .

I love movies with a great ending. Thats when I realize that my money was well spent. I'm referring to me seeing a movie at a theater. When I get to leave a movie smiling and I can't stop saying "that was really good," "that was really good" It just does it for me! I recently went to the movie this past weekend and seen a good comedy. It was a Tyler Perry film, i'm not sure if you are familiar with him or not. But all his films are great and its always have a specific meaning in his films. The ending of his latest film had me crying laughing, and it was just a great feeling with a surprising end.

Yes, I didn't see the ending coming on Devil either. It didn't do well, but I thought it was pretty good.

A great movie of that kind is The Sixth Sense and Others in a similar way. After seeing the end of both, you can review the entire film with a different light.

Deception was certainly one of the biggest suspenses I recently watched. For some folks it actually took a second or third time watching it before they fully understood what the end (and the movie) was all about. A bit heavy on CGs but the plot and ending was everything but predictive.

I also love movies with a twist at the end. Sometimes I think that have understood everything and I think that I know how it is going to end and then all of sudden I discover that the movie is completely different from the way that I thought, I love that kind of surprices Some of the movies that I like have already been mentioned for instanse "The sixth sense" and "The others", but I also liked "A beautiful mind", "Shutter island", "Orphan" and "A tale of two sisters". The last movie is from Asia, but I dont remember which country it is from.
