the very last scene

when girl puts the flower down for her...

That mess made me jump out of my seat.

I posted this in the "Scariest Movies You've Ever Seen" thread some time ago, this scene had quite an impact on me as a 9-year-old seeing his first movie in a theater.

Last week I was directly behind Steven King in the beer line at Lenny's tour opener, all I could think of was how does he come up with this stuff.

Oh agreed. Since the build up was really subtle, I didn't even suspect a thing.

Probably not the first but still a good mention...

Sooo subtle! Almost to the point of being boring. I was like: "What the Hell is going on here?". Then by the end, it turned out to have been very cleverly written and one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen (...without the use of any gore or CGI). It was also very beautiful in parts; nevertheless quite haunting.

The Mist.

Excellent ending.

I don't know which movie was the first, but the most impressive one was defenitely 2001. Simply brilliant.

Definitely The Sixth Sense and Devil, which have been mentioned. Also Shutter Island!

Shyamalan's movies just got worse and worse. Shame as he started so well.

I kinda liked devil.

neither The Usual Suspects nor The 6th Sense got me.

for suspects i figured it out when he seemed to get from one place to another too fast. It was something like he was about 300 feet away and then all of a sudden he was 25 feet... that with all they hype that of a twist ending i blurted out "oh it's him" (lucky it was just me and a fiend that had seen it)

in the 6th sense: I went expecting a huge twist! As soon as he got shot I said (in the theater) "oh he is dead..." (i got some negative reactions)

no NO WAY OUT: i do not think I figured it out but I was not blow away.

But Presumed Innocent (as contrived as it was) got me!

I think the first would have been The Last American Virgin.

totally 100% the correct and real life ending.

really? I knew the gag when i saw the very fist teasier of this... again i said it loud in the theater: it is set in modern times. (but i have never seen it or really heard much about it so i could be wrong and there could be more to it but that was my first guess)

Fargo

A Simple Plan

Both had stories and endings that I really wasn't expecting.

No Way Out was totally unexpected. I still love that movie. I was ready for The Crying Game. Love that one too. What I didn't expect was that he'd serve time for her.

Of course The Sixth Sense. But I left the movie feeling stupid and slapping my head duh-"Now why didn't I see that coming??"

But the movie that still disturbs me yet I still watch with fascination is SEVEN. I never ever ever expected Gwyneth's head to be in that box. And I thought they'd let us down easy by having Morgan Freeman make Brad give him the gun. But nooooooo...

One of my all time faves is Angel Heart. Yes, sue me...I loved Lisa Bonet in that movie. But the ending? It was Mickey all the time? Didn't see that one. And when I was very young I remember being upset for days when the original Planet of the Apes (1968) ended and Heston was on earth the whole time. That scene with the Statue of Liberty on the beach froze me.

THIS!

and The Usual Suspects movie ( I'd read Morphology (sp?) of the folktale by Vladimir Propp a few years earlier that has single handedly RUINED movies for me every since.. )

I'd figured out the plot for The Usual suspects within the first 5mins of the movie, which then did its best to (successfully)redirect me.

The Kevin spacey 'walk' at the end was magnificent I was truly and happily surprised

"Just Cause" with Blair Underwood was a total shocker as well.

That was a really good movie.

I didn't.

Not quite the same but it is... the scene in Pan's Labrynth where the commanding officer bottles the peasant. FUCK ME!

Watched for the 1st time last month and I cried like a baby at the end of it. How the hell did I miss it all these years?

Great film.
