Can't. That would ruin it.

The movie The Proposal has a good plot twist. I thought it was a film about a man who fell in love with his horse but it turns out that at the end it was just Sandra Bullock
No way on earth you could tell that is a woman :yes:

I saw that plot twist come. It was obvious, dont know why people where surprised.
Seriously, though, I loved that movie. If someone hadnt told me the story of the book before I watched it, I doubt I would have seen it coming.
Sixth Sense:
Unbreakable:
Fight Club:
Empire Strikes Back:
Memento:
Oceans 11:
Lucky Number Slevin:
Matchstick Men:
He's dead? Well that makes no sense in real life but dang the screenplay was tricky.
Unbreakable:
Samuel L. Jackson's character is the villain? Crap!
Fight Club:
OMG they're the same person!?
Empire Strikes Back:
Obi Wan was a freakin' liar!
Memento:
He purposely lies to himself?!
Oceans 11:
The theft was really well done. The viewer was kept in the dark, mostly.
Lucky Number Slevin:
I thought Josh Hartnett was a chill hot guy, but he's an assassin!
Matchstick Men:
The girl is conning them!

Seriously? I remember watching that and wondering if there was anyone who didn't see it coming from a mile away. The exact details couldn't be predicted, but the fact that...
she was in the mental hospital the whole time and the rest of the movie was all in her head. I knew that right from the start of the movie.
That would be my top choice, too.
Given how predictable superhero movies usually are, I think the ending of Superman 2 ("Kneel before Zod!") was a good twist. As good as more recently superhero movies have been, I still think none of them have topped that for a twist ending.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV show, not the original movie) had a few good ones over the years - the prophecy at the end of season 1, the changes in the primary villains in season 2, the unexpected endings of seasons 5 and 7. I always loved that show.
Another of my favorite TV shows was Alias, at least for the first two seasons. That one had quite a few good twists, starting with just realizing what was going on in that non-linear pilot episode.
Edit: Just thought of another great one worth adding, from a movie most of you have probably never heard of: The comedy-boxing movie Diggstown had multiple twist endings. Good movie.

I watched a movie called The Sacrifice. It is a Chinese film that critics have poo-pooed as apologetic towards the aristocracy, but still... the twist made me nod and/or shake my head.
The humanist doctor raises the wayward son of the deposed family for the express purpose of gaining revenge over the usurping lord. He even goes so far as to enlist the usurping lord's help in training the young boy. A bond is built between them. The Lord loves the child as he would a son or nephew. And when the time comes to exact the revenge that has been building for a decade or more? Guess what happens? The lord is more than a match for the young warrior. He never had the barest chance of exacting the revenge he had sought his whole life.
The movie definitely makes you think the good guys are going to win. They go through SO MUCH to get to that final moment. You can't think it's going to turn out any other way. And then BAM. No. You're wrong. The powerful win. HAHA, go home. Damn it was good.

I did finally end up watching that movie and I could hardly keep myself awake...

I'm not much for movies, but back in the day I played my fair share of video games. I'd say the best plot twist I experienced came from the first Resident Evil game - when Wesker betrays S.T.A.R.S.
It was probably expected, but I was only 12 at the time when I first played it and it took me by surprise.
Another good plot twist was from the first Silent Hill game. I'm not sure if it's a plot twist or merely a theory, but essentially the idea is that Harry (the protagonist) is actually dead the entire time and you're simply playing through his near-death experience.

U know who U R
Just about every episode of Game of Thrones is one plot twist after another.
The writers are doing a very good job.
I don't have cable TV and heard about the series, began watching online and could not stop watching it, watched all three seasons in less than a week.
Just checked, its already back online again, 4 new episodes of season 4 have been uploaded, didn't realize it started back up again, woootness.
If they don't kill off Joffrey soon, I'm gonna personally put a "hit" on him myself.
Hope $1.98 in foodstamps is enough, it's all I got to spare, lmfao
