Note to self... avoid the subways!

My biggest surprise and biggest disappointment... IT by Stephen King!

This movie scared the shit out of me! Clowns with sharp teeth in the sewers... oh man!... then to have the stupid ending with the... well you know if you saw it....

The Godfather Part 2...Fredo getting whacked in the fishing boat from his own brother's instructions. Micheal becomes evil personified. Incredible ending...they should have left it there...GF 3 was such a letdown.

I agree with the original "Psycho".

I also have to say the original "Carrie". That ending scared the shit outta me as a child!

There are a lot of good endings to great movies and I think people are doing an excellent job of listing them. My candidate for best surprise ending is from a terrible movie:

Sleepaway Camp

Terrible movie, but man...that crazy ass ending. Anyone seen it?

Memento - my brain must have been on vacation that night, because I absolutely did not see Teddy's explanation coming. In retrospect it seems blindingly obvious, of course - and it can be interpreted in several ways...

I'd also have to mention the ending of Insomnia (Norwegian version) - not because it was shocking, or came out of nowhere, but because it was so bleak and amoral.

, you didn't answer my question...

Guess what....

strange... yet I find more answers within the above moment (picture) than the question I asked. Yet, I should know the answer to the question I asked... although I don't recall.

Momento
Croupier

Fight Club. That seriously fucked with my head the first time I saw it.

American Beauty. I didn't expect him to die, even though he says so when the movie starts. Same goes for Under the Cherry Moon and Untamed Heart. Damnit, why do people have to DIE at the end of a good movie?!?!?

Is that the movie they based 12 Monkeys on? Now there's a Holy Stinkin' Cumquats ending!

Byron said:

I thought Secret Window was too predictable, the only reason I stayed to watch the end was to see Johnny Depp..

Fight Club

The Usual Suspects

Arlington Road

Se7en, I didn't think the head in the box was a surprise but I was surprised when Brad Pitt shot the killer, you sort of expect the cop do the 'right' thing at the end

Donnie Darko was just a surprise through out the whole film

I was thinking the same thing about American Beauty! I really thought the main character wouldn't reveal the ending in the first minute of the film...

OMG! I totally forgot about that movie. Actually, SleepAway Camp III was quite good, campy but fun.

Born in Chicago....then moved to Reston, Virginia when I was seven...and yeah, you should have known that already...lol

By the way, I recently drove on a street called Julie Lane, which right in the middle of the street it suddenly turned into Wellby Way...
