1. 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...

2. Citizen Kane
3. Fight Club
4. Primal Fear
5. Planet of the Apes
6. The Devil's Advocate
7. Memento (don't think this is accurate)

   I've seen Memento. It has a different twist. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 04:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

   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)

8. Psycho
9. Unbreakable
10. The Usual Suspects
11. Star Wars
12. Twelve Monkeys (Go Gilliam, go!)
13. The Crying Game
14. Soylent Green
15. Kill Bill
16. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
17. The Others

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)
