Movie: Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Fun Fact: Jacob's doctor was played by Lewis Black, who's now known for being a comedian, a Daily Show regular, and kind of twisted.

try Danny Aiello? Talk about a plot twist, heh. One of my all time fav movies, and Danny in one of his best roles I've seen. That movie inspired me.

Louis: Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.

My picks would be "Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects." Can't figure out what the twists were in "Citizen Kane" and "Eddie and the Cruisers" though.

It was a sled! A stupid sled! -- He's still alive!

A predictably Hollywood list once again (with a token nod to foreign films with Old Boy), though there are a few very good pics there (Psycho and The Crying Game being the best, I think).

As for Mission Unwatchable...err, Impossible - they have to be kidding!! The mere casting alone gave away the fact that the villain was going to re-appear later in the film.

I never thought the Angel Heart twist was all that surprising (excellent film that it is), either . . . I mean, Louis Cypher . . . come on! Who did they think they were kidding with a name like that?!

I went to that website and couldn't see or find the list. Every time I found something to click on, I got an ad for Circuit City.

Hmm. For some reason the first time I looked through the slideshow it skipped straight from Planet of the Apes to Dr Caligari. Seems to be showing all of them now, though.

yea! i didn't even think of that one, but that really should be on the list. good call, sarge.

The Prestige.

I didn't see the other magic movie, but I heard it was similar.

I liked "Fallen' with Denzal Washington...

No, let me rephrase that...I REALLY like 'Fallen' with Denzel Washington.

House of Games is a good one
not a very well-known film it seems
but a great David Mamet con story

Haven't seen about 4 of the above, but "The Others" (2001) had a purdy good twist end. I don't see how Citizen Kane (great movie) is a twist in the usual sense; it's more of a "Oh, so that's what they were looking for. Too late".

Good call on "The Others."

Oldboy definately deserves to be on that list

What about the silence of the lambs, and Saw?

I don't remember there being a major twist in Silence of the Lambs. Brilliant movie, though.

Primal Fear.

Good call Brinn.
