OK, I admit my last post was very weak. Anyone - and I mean ANYONE - can play the Purple Rain card.

I'll try to do better.

The "plot twist" of "!2 Monkeys" wasn't that the 12 Monkeys group didn't set off the virus...it was that Bruce Willis' character witnessed his own death when he was a child...


And Arlington Road had a great plot twist... nod

The Empire Strikes Back.

The audience's audibly gasp when Darth said he was Luke's father was a real moment.

You should go and see it again, Charlotte. nod

He makes tatoos and notes on pictures of people.
You think that would be a good way to cope with loss of short time memory, but
it turns out that he makes some very big mistakes that way.

The film starts with the last five minutes of the story
and then the five minutes bevore that
and then the five minutes bevore that
and then the five minutes bevore that
and then the five minutes bevore that
and then the five minutes bevore that, etc.

I recorded it on my dvd recorder and burnt myself an edited version where all parts are chronological.
I've discovered some interesting things about the story that way. nod

The guy that came up with this story is a genius in my opinion.
