Love Usual Suspects. Problem with these type movies is it's hard to watch them twice once you know the ending.

I actually enjoy watching some movies like this a second time knowing the twist. With movies like Sixth Sense you get to see all of the details that they added to allow the ending to be possible. Once I saw the Sixth Sense, I thought there was no way that it could have happened, I figured there must have been major plot holes because it was so convincing, but after I saw it the second time, it was solid.

If someone says either The Illusionist or The Prestige they deserve to be smacked.

The Usual Suspects would be top on my list. In recent memory, I would say The Prestige... although the execution for The Prestige wasn't as top-notch.

While its not a movie, I need to say it: KOTOR

*SPOILER













Actually, the twist about the guy being two brothers in The Prestige was kickass. I had no idea it was coming. Not so much about the clones, that was predictable... Still one of the best movies Ive seen either way

The Crying Game....my aunt and uncle took me to see it at the Ritz before it became "popular" because they thought showing me an artsy-fartsy independent movie would help educate me or something. That was one helluva awkward moment....

Saw?

On that note, Empire Strikes Back. One of the biggest movie bombs dropped ever was "I am your father...."

Is it really a bomb if everyone already knows?
