Jacob's Ladder or Sixth Sense
Awkwardly enough, I never saw Jacob's Ladder... I was thinking of a different movie. I guess I deserve to have something spoiled for me, too...
Citizen Kane
Fight Club
Primal Fear
Planet of the Apes
The Devil's Advocate
Memento (don't think this is accurate)

Aparrently I didn't pay very good attention (hard to do due to its double with one going backwards plot structure) and Memento tells me that this is the other twist. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 04:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Psycho
Unbreakable
The Usual Suspects
Star Wars

Make it an article?

Okay, Silly Thought of the Day ... make "Ruining it for Everyone" an article. How many "surprise endings" are there in literatures? I can think of several more.

He was the Mulkurul
He was Darth Sidious all along
They eat the girl
His brother was dead
He dies, but he comes back later (two answers)
He was a replicant
She was a mannequin
Earth's bacteria kills them all in the end
We never see the aliens
He gives them both the letters of transit
It's a fake made of lead
He saves Lois
They blow it up
He hallucinated the whole thing
The priests die
They drop the bomb

IMHO, using movie-specific terms and names like Dumbledore and "replicant" kind of ruins it. Even without having seen the film, it actually does risk "spoiling" it for you. Better to use vague ones like "he was his father" which make sense if you know what film it is, and don't, if you haven't. Stevage 05:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
