Which movie do you think is truly the most shocking ending of all time? It's somewhat difficult to measure because we know the twists now, but maybe Empire Strikes Back or Sixth Sense?
Looper, about The Empire Strikes Back, i already knew all about the whole saga. Because i didn't knew the 4th, 5th and 6th film were made before the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. When i knew about Star Wars, i was 9 years old, and my father narrated it to me in chronological order.
You didn't mention the most important part about the end of _The Boy in the Striped Pajamas_ , That it was the German boy's father that gave the order for the prisoners to be sent to the gas-chambers, and thus his hatred accidentally murdered his own child. 🤦
Since I became a father I can't handle violence against children anymore. I watched that movie before my first was born and it still fucked me up. I mean I get hate and racism and all that ... but how can you direct that kind of anger and hate towards children? How can you be a dad and see a kid inside a concentration camp and NOT doubt your principles?
I'm not sure that audiences in The Netherlands were quite as shocked by the revelation in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. The word Vader means Father in Dutch.
striped pjs is the one that shocked me the most, i never saw that coming. Then while they were walking into the chamber i thought they would be saved at the last second, but sadly they weren't.
@@zachbinici2191 i remember watching in class too, and remember a few kids being really upset but It did not personally affect me that much for some reason
@@ala2121 Much more ambiguously, While in the supermarket they managed to hear one word on the radio, Hartford. when they all finally make it to the car and start driving they decide it must of meant Hartford, Connecticut. Hoping it is some sort of safe zone, and that they can make it that far, the book ends with them driving off into the mist. I don't mind the movie putting a more definitive ending. The ambiguous ending of the book felt like a bit of a let down after all the build-up. I just wasn't expecting that extreme of an ending.
Yeah, that'd be a little frustrating. Reading all of that, then to have it end that way..."use your imagination" type. I'm not a big fan of books, movies, or shows ending that way. Sometimes it's ok and a lot of people do like that and that's fine, everyone is different. For me though, if I'm paying for entertainment in any form, I want to have a conclusion. I always think "I'm not paying money, to in the end, just use my imagination and my own interpretation of how it might go." Lol...kind of dumb on my part I guess, but that's just how I feel. Like I said, not all the time though..."Inception" I thought was fine, but most of the time I want something definitive.
"Gleefully inaccurate"? You mean WWII was NOT resolved by Brad Pitt personally killing Adolf Hitler? I could have sworn I had already seen The History Channel showing it ending just like that on a number of shows of theirs.
The final twist in Shutter Island is actually when he pretends to relapse and says, "Which would be worse: to live as a monster or to die as a good man?"
He wasn't pretending. It was rather a statement that it was his conscious choice. The memory was so painful, he preferred to live in his own fictional world knowingly he would be lobotomized.
@@TLuu164 He pretended to relapse, but didn't truly relapse. He still knew who he really was, he just didn't want to live with the knowledge of what happened.
bulubuloa I see your point of view. However he had to make it convincing to the psychiatrists that he had truly relapsed so had to pretend so he could get the lobotomy. Otherwise they would never have given him the operation. He chose not to remember. Which is why he made up the whole story in the first place
We had to watch three movies so far where a child was killed in a concentration camp in Germany. I don't know why German schools feel like they have to show us all of those movies of kids dying. I mean I get that we have to be educated about what we have done in the past but I saw so many abused corpses piled up and rotting in the last year that I doubt that this many dead people are necessary. We watch a documentary or film in literally every subject and everywhere are children dying and real dead people to be seen. It is traumatising.
Yes you are right. It is important to remember but I feel like we could do that with actual or more education and less showing of corpses and tortured people. It is also nothing I would like to become after my death. An object abused and used by monsters and shown to students just so that they can remember there crimes. I feel like it takes some of those peoples dignity. In lots of documentaries we see those piled up corpses but the actual people are never mourned or selden mentioned as individuals. They are only shown as a way of shocking people especially young students. I don't think that we should use shock so often but more facts and sense.
It's rather disturbing to watch six of these movies in one school year. Some even twice or three times and everytime you are ashamed of your heritage and your country it feels like even in Germany the German history is reduced to those horrible crimes.
@@helenek.8832 It definitely is not lol. It's just mandatory to talk about the Holocaust and WWII in such length (at least half a year, thats what our teacher said). But I actually have History Advanced Course and I can quarantee you, we definitely learn about all the other parts of our history.
We had the Holocaust as a project in my middle school and the whole school watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjama. Everyone was either crying or shocked.
Kind of reminds me if the same type vein as A time to kill. Obviously holocaust movies are achingly sad to watch, but we have learned what to expect just like we do with movies about racial injustice. The ending is such a shocking twist from what we've learned to expect that its mind blowing, just like when Matthew McConnahey gives his moving closing argument about the rape of the little girl in A time to kill and then says, "now imagine she's white...", it shocks you to the core
Koko Puffs I liked the ending. Not in a weird or sick way but in a cute way. I knew they were gonna get gassed and liked the fact they were holding hands together and died best friends
The ending of SE7EN was neither shocking, nor was it a surprise. You could see it coming from the get-go. After all, Gwyneth Paltrow's character served absolutely NO purpose in the story, EXCEPT eventually being killed off.
I watched The Boy in the striped Pajamas a week ago. I am still speechless. The ending was so unexpected. So many other filmmakers would’ve made an generic ending where they lived but for that ending to do what it did it takes guts. Respect.

I don't think he was blind. Either he could read braille, or, God himself had miraculously converted the written words into braille once Eli had completed his God given task. That way almost no one would be able to use the book for nefarious purposes.
One Word he was blind. First, the times where he “used his sight” was supposed to be God protecting him. Second, you can see his eyes are foggy at the end, signifying he has no ability to see. Lastly, thats why he goes under the overpass to fight the raiders. He already can’t see so the darkness does nothing to him. Meanwhile, they aren’t used to fighting blind
to easy to guess the twist ,,it is too much like a 70's movie called The Other which was about twin boys only one was dead but the live one one blamed him for all the bad things happening

Most people completely missed the biggest twist of the 6th sense. The little boy with a ghost himself all along. That's why he could see and hear dead people He was one of them!
I hated the ending of THE MIST; it was a complete reversal of Stephen King's open-ended conclusion. Though I read somewhere that King approved of Darabont's alterations.
@@Scottsteaux63 He did more than approve, he said it was freaking brilliant. Both King and Darabont knew it was gonna be a polarizing ending though (studio actually made pressure to change it). I freaking love it.
The ending made it worth sitting through something that's been seen and remade multiple times.....nearly 2.5 hrs of shit capped off by 5mins of brilliance!
@@savagedragon79 more like screw up. The shocking part was after he killed his son & the people in the backseat,he didn't have to. I was like "No,you gotta be kidding me!" So ya,screwed up,stupid,but still a shocking ending. I own the movie & I like it,but that ending...well you know..sad,screwed up.
Right? We spent 2 weeks learning about the haulocaust back in school and had to watch many movies about it and ive cried with each one, even the books.
we watched The Boy in The Striped Pajamas in class and i was the only one sobbing in dead silence. akward to say the least. aaand, i was crying for the rest of the day, so i had to be taken home
The Others, starring Nicole Kidman. I think it should've been included in the list. The revelations toward the end were totally shocking. But I definitely agree with most of the movies mentioned.
Same, At first you think you now the twist but then it subverts your expectations TWICE. Not going to give out any spoilers, you all should watch the movie yourself to find out!
It's a good twist, but maybe not as "shocking". I actually more baffled that Oldboy didn't make it to the list. Or Dancers in The Dark...because I'm still hoping for a miracle until that shitty ending.
i too thought the same first time i saw it many years ago but as i get older i realise its gonna become reality as there are too many people to feed and not enough resources
lazyartist Last It was when Michael asked Jim, Andy, Dwight and Ryan to Benihana for lunch, but then Ryan uses all the excuses to get out of it, and when Jim mentions this to him, he brings up even more excuses including “granddad fought in WW2” Rewatching the office rn 😂
Fave ending ever. It was true what he said Soze could make you do anything. There's been many good ones. Loved Psycho, Arlington Road fight club. But we don't talk about that one
It's like when I saw Schindler's List. I was like, it's a Spielberg, either it's gonna be family fun or everyone's gonna get hunted by a dinosaur or a shark. Boy was I sad.
To be honest, I find the American version to be a subpar reinterpretation that fails understand what made the original so captivating. Watch YMS Oldboy review to understand all my problems with the 2013 movie in a nutshell.
The ending to the boy in the striped pajamas doesn't make me sad, as much as it makes me feel terrified. Like I watch it, and I just imagine myself there. It's terrifying.
I have never had the courage to watch The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas because the book totally ruined me, I'm scared of what the movie adaptation will do to me.
I haven’t even read the book, the book was in my classroom and I asked an adult about it (don’t know if it was a teacher or one of my parents) and they told me the ending just flat out and I’ve refused to watch or read it I already watched The Pianist I don’t need anymore depressing crap about the Holocaust thrown at me
Watch it. The world aint a fairytale and its time some of you realized that. Stop being so soft and i know that it can be sad but thats life so you just gotta deal with it or coward away
Everyone knows how the boy in the stripped Pajamas ends but I think the mist has a more violent and gut renching feeling that leaves you feeling all kinds of emotions
Yeah... The Boy in Striped Pajamas. My sister got the movie for me for my birthday one year (probably as a joke). I knew the movie was going to be sad going in (but I didn’t know why). I still sat in silence for a good 5 minutes after it ended. We’ve not watched the movie since.
YES! That was one that I didn't see coming at all and was sad. Along with The Skeleton Key I still am shook after seeing the ending of that movie then thinking about what happened to those little kids in the past of the house.
When i was 12 i had to watch "The Boy in the Striped Pajamaz" in middle school... Im now 18 and i cant even watch that movie its so depressing. It really truly traumatized me as a child...I mean i know its history , but come on :(
@@batgurrl yeah, Tim Robbins steals the show and Jeff Bridges always delivers quality, Joan Cusack is also very good in this one, great script also and what an ending!
hell yes. One of the best twists ever, and a great movie on the whole. It was definitely massively underrated. But then again, lots of brilliant films do fly under the radar. The ones that make the most money aren't necessarily the best ones!
@@aquiline-eagle9669 David Fincher Fight Club, Se7en, The Game Cristopher Nolan Memento, and my favourite movie The Prestige. All of these have some amazing twists.
I think for Sixth Sense alone he deserves that title. It is the only time I have watched a movie where both my brother and I looked at each other after the reveal and said "No way, No way, NO WAY!!"
That tiny clip of The Birds caused a chill. We were living in Japan, my mom wanted to watch it on TV, but it was in Japanese, I had nightmares for three weeks, I couldn't understand any things, but the pictures said it all.
The ending to _Brazil_ was so horrifying that the studio forced Terry Gilliam to change it after the initial theatrical release, and he took out a full-page ad in _Variety_ attacking the studio for doing that. The happy ending that the studio forced was an absolute travesty.
Which movie do you think is truly the most shocking ending of all time? It's somewhat difficult to measure because we know the twists now, but maybe Empire Strikes Back or Sixth Sense?
I don't know.

@@melchiormerrowson9576 yes, it is
“The Others”, had a great ending, also.
The end of The Mist was absolutely brutal.
richard bidinger ikr!! Imagine having to live with that :/ knowing if you had just waited like 5 more minutes
I hated the ending of THE MIST; it was a complete reversal of Stephen King's open-ended conclusion. Though I read somewhere that King approved of Darabont's alterations.
@@Scottsteaux63 He did more than approve, he said it was freaking brilliant. Both King and Darabont knew it was gonna be a polarizing ending though (studio actually made pressure to change it). I freaking love it.
Yes that was gut wrenching. I never felt like that after watching a movie before.
Agreed
I think The Mist had a pretty sad ending
The ending made it worth sitting through something that's been seen and remade multiple times.....nearly 2.5 hrs of shit capped off by 5mins of brilliance!
@@paulcurran9343 it was stupid
I agree
The ending was stupid! Let's spend the whole movie protecting my son from monsters so I can kill him myself?
@@savagedragon79 more like screw up. The shocking part was after he killed his son & the people in the backseat,he didn't have to. I was like "No,you gotta be kidding me!" So ya,screwed up,stupid,but still a shocking ending. I own the movie & I like it,but that ending...well you know..sad,screwed up.
My favorite movie twist of all time is at the end of Prometheus when it's revealed you just wasted 2 hours of your life.
Wrong. Sorry.
Lmao yes
Zing
Lol
Only time I’ve ever cried in school was that ending on the boy with the striped pajamas sad af.
How's your career going?
Thanos in school trust me bro I’ve shed my tears plenty of times in movies you ever seen marly and me?
I watched it in bed on my laptop and when it ended I just stared at the screen sobbing. Vera Farmiga’s acting was outstanding.
Right? We spent 2 weeks learning about the haulocaust back in school and had to watch many movies about it and ive cried with each one, even the books.
Me too....and E.T.
I actually yelled "Holy Shit!" at the ending of The Mist. I loved that ending, thought it was better than the story by King.
IIRC that was the same reaction of King himself when the director pitched the ending to him. And he loved it.
I cried for days over The boy in the striped pajamas! I’ll never watch that movie ever again
we watched The Boy in The Striped Pajamas in class and i was the only one sobbing in dead silence. akward to say the least.
aaand, i was crying for the rest of the day, so i had to be taken home
Same but i want sent home i wouldnt lock doors for abut 4 months
My class read the book and then watched it and literally all of the girls including me cried
Same
My class right now we are watching Schindler's list, after that we are watching the boy in the striped pajamas.
katelyn silly squirrel lucky, Schindler’s list is 10x better
David Fincher's The Game and Fight Club could have been added to the list. Also, Christopher Nolan's Memento.
And Nolan's The Prestige, too.
@@memebeeee absolutely. I forgot about that one. Thanks.
Saw?
The Game actually had a good ending that it was indeed a game all along.
The others?
Dead and Buried?
perks of being a wallflower always makes me cry. not the most shocking twist but one that hits a different way.
The Others, starring Nicole Kidman. I think it should've been included in the list. The revelations toward the end were totally shocking. But I definitely agree with most of the movies mentioned.
Same, At first you think you now the twist but then it subverts your expectations TWICE. Not going to give out any spoilers, you all should watch the movie yourself to find out!
@@aumsharma8783 Yes!!
I watched The Boy In Striped Pajamas in English class and it had me on the brink of tears while my teacher was bawling
Cant believe Primal Fear didnt make it on the list
It's a good twist, but maybe not as "shocking". I actually more baffled that Oldboy didn't make it to the list. Or Dancers in The Dark...because I'm still hoping for a miracle until that shitty ending.
Exactly! Or fight club
Clayton Berkey yeah! Love this film. It’s one of my favourites
Carlitos way aswell
Missed “Pan’s Labyrinth” ... I cried like a baby at the end
Oh it is such a beautiful & sad film💔😭
Yep, sad. Indeed. Guillermo del Toro movies do tend to have that quality. If you have chance watch the devil's backbone. Mess you right up.
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist"
@BITCOIN SWAMI usual suspects
The only problem with that quote is that most of the world 'does' believe he exists.
@@michaeldavis6914 What most of the world believes is fictitious.
One of the greatest lines of all time.
The baby in striped pyjama made me cry for days, it killed me inside
Baby?
ciri_ riannon I’m sorry, “baby”?
Pretty sure babies aren’t able to talk
LMAO
Yes “grandma” your are right
The Wicker Man should be in this list, the most shocking ending of any film.
Into The Wild = NOT so shocking... hard to be shocked by a true story that occurred 25 years prior to the film.
Devils Advocate had a pretty gnarly plot twist at the end.
The mist's ending will always be the most shocking end I've ever seen and I can't wait to see what movie will be the new one
I love that movie. Rewatching it at least once a year. 👍👍👍
You should of put US on this..
But seriously The Mist and The Boy And The Striped Pyjamas plot twists made me think about it for days
Soylent Green had a shocking ending.
i too thought the same first time i saw it many years ago but as i get older i realise its gonna become reality as there are too many people to feed and not enough resources
@Kay Burns : It was also Edward G. Robinson's last movie. A bit prophetic in that he goes to the death facility to end his life.
@@MrFRESNOBOB . Not if Bill Gates has his way with these poisonous vaccines.
Not if you heart THAT line before seeing the film.
The boy in the striped pajamas was the first love to ever make me cry and I can say that I rarely ever do that but that movie really hit hard
Theres also one ending for me that was shocking. Train to Busan.
Vael - yea you do hope and think maybe the dad will make it
It wasn't shocking but a good movie tho
Omg yes i hoped/expected him to survive the film :(
Yes -- you are correct!
Vael - I didn't find it shocking but it was sad.
The ending of the mist was heartbreaking
I think Primal Fear, with Richard Gere and Edward Norton should be on this list.
Marco Padilla Absolutely.
Yes! Richard Gere's reaction to the twist at the end was exactly how I reacted to it. I was speechles, and Edward Norton's acting was amazing too.
Most definitely.
Orphan is such a great Movie! I found it by accident on Netflix and the Twist at the end was Mind-blowing ^^
I'm watching it rn
I remember screaming to my wife thats not a child!!!
I found Orphan was a bit spooky and also had some spooky scenes.
I am surprised, that the movie Memento wasn't on the list.
It's been said that Tony Perkins (Psycho) was one of the kindest and most awesome talents ever to grace the screen.
1:44 Ryan never mentioned his grandfather was in WW2.
yeah he did😂 in Benihana Christmas 😂
@@IReflex_ did he? i dont remember that, but i haven't seen the show in a year or so.
lazyartist Last It was when Michael asked Jim, Andy, Dwight and Ryan to Benihana for lunch, but then Ryan uses all the excuses to get out of it, and when Jim mentions this to him, he brings up even more excuses including “granddad fought in WW2”
Rewatching the office rn 😂
Luke Daniel impish
Eaglesfan 1342 Belsnickel says you are.... IMPISH
First movie I think of to match:
The sixth sense
Cause c’mon, that movie was amazing and the ending was insane
Edit: what I say, what I say?!
Anything associated with death has red in the scene.
@@pauljohnson3340 which you don't notice the first time but, watching back, you catch that. Along with other little details
I was so confused i had to watch the film 2 times continuously to comprehend what just happened. 😂
@@pauljohnson3340 bit like the girl who is only colour (red) in schindler's list
Keyser Soze will always be the best film twist ever.
Yes. King Talks Alot. You didn't see it coming at all and left you wondering what in the entire movie was true. Lol
Fave ending ever. It was true what he said Soze could make you do anything. There's been many good ones. Loved Psycho, Arlington Road fight club. But we don't talk about that one
@@zztop6460 But Kint wasn't Soze, he worked for him.
@@esmenouvelle9439 A internet friend and I honestly believe it was a creation of his and Kobayashi's, similar to what the FBI agent believed.
@@zztop6460OMG yes, Arlington Road... fantastic twist! What an underrated movie
Identity with John Cusack is one of my favorites. That one gets you more than once.
Goddess, I love that movie! And that twist was amazing.
What about Titanic. I thought they were gonna make it to New York?????
It's like when I saw Schindler's List. I was like, it's a Spielberg, either it's gonna be family fun or everyone's gonna get hunted by a dinosaur or a shark. Boy was I sad.
You're joking, right?
@@oneiroagent You never know, people can be amazingly uneducated
@@MySerpentine yes
🙎♂️
What about the South Korean Oldboy movie?
The American version is good to.
To be honest, I find the American version to be a subpar reinterpretation that fails understand what made the original so captivating. Watch YMS Oldboy review to understand all my problems with the 2013 movie in a nutshell.
Oldboy South Korean version was so fucked up. I need to watch it again!
It's cool he banged his daughter and didn't know it at the time 😂
@@savagedragon79 ha ha ha
*so the ending of the boy in the striped pajamas was a lesson in karma for his nazi daddy?*
It was the feel good movie of the year.
Even though it's all based on FICTION....
@@LukeLovesRose All?
Karma should only affect the person who deserves it, not innocents. The kid didn't deserve to die just because his father was a terrible person.
@@WassilyMyBigLovex3 This story is especially based on fiction,. Hell, Swindler's List is famously based on a work of fiction
The ending to the boy in the striped pajamas doesn't make me sad, as much as it makes me feel terrified. Like I watch it, and I just imagine myself there. It's terrifying.
Nice list. The French movie, 'Les Diaboliques' had a hell of a twist too -
Great video and I was expecting a mention of "the others" :-)
Identity 2003 and Invisible Guest are also have the best shocking twist ever.
I have never had the courage to watch The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas because the book totally ruined me, I'm scared of what the movie adaptation will do to me.
I haven’t even read the book, the book was in my classroom and I asked an adult about it (don’t know if it was a teacher or one of my parents) and they told me the ending just flat out and I’ve refused to watch or read it I already watched The Pianist I don’t need anymore depressing crap about the Holocaust thrown at me
My two nephews watched it and wouldn't shower. They made my sister run them a bath
I got sick when I watched it but I had no idea what I was going into
Don't watch it. The movie will break you
Watch it. The world aint a fairytale and its time some of you realized that. Stop being so soft and i know that it can be sad but thats life so you just gotta deal with it or coward away
When I first read “The boy in the stripped pajamas, I didn’t know whether to be shocked, or amazed!
It really got me
Everyone knows how the boy in the stripped Pajamas ends but I think the mist has a more violent and gut renching feeling that leaves you feeling all kinds of emotions
Yeah... The Boy in Striped Pajamas. My sister got the movie for me for my birthday one year (probably as a joke). I knew the movie was going to be sad going in (but I didn’t know why). I still sat in silence for a good 5 minutes after it ended. We’ve not watched the movie since.
I absolutely love the ending of The Mist.
Syrnian haven’t seen the movie but that F’ed up ending is funny
Fred CJ but seeing the part where his son woke up and looked at him and then shot them all makes it more sad.
The original ''I spit on your grave'' shook me.
The 2010 version is one of my fav revenge movies, the violence of the ending is beautiful and karmic.
I love those movies.
"that dude with the hair piece was Bruce Willis the entire time!" . . . "that's not the twist Charlie."
The ending in the movie The Others with Nicole Kidman left me scratching my head in a wonderfully bleak way! I loved it!
Yeah I watched it at the theater. I didn't see it coming at all!
I was just about to mention The Others, but wanted to scroll down to see if anyone had already.
YES! That was one that I didn't see coming at all and was sad. Along with The Skeleton Key I still am shook after seeing the ending of that movie then thinking about what happened to those little kids in the past of the house.
@@kittysune1 one of my fav Kate Hudson movies! I've watched it so many times I've lost count!
Buttons F 👍❤ In my opinion it is very underrated.
Angelheart is the film that had the most unexpected ending, in my own view
F**k yes! I'd forgotten about that one - for some reason it's never on tv...
You forgot Sleepaway Camp! One of the best twist endings of any Horror movie.
True
When i was 12 i had to watch "The Boy in the Striped Pajamaz" in middle school... Im now 18 and i cant even watch that movie its so depressing. It really truly traumatized me as a child...I mean i know its history , but come on :(
Escape from Sobibor-- One of the best true-story movies and endings of all time in the history of the whole universe.
How can you NOT have No Way Out? That was an incredible twist
Agreed! I never saw it coming.
Good catch.
Primal Fear was another great twist ending that literally nobody saw coming.
Excellent list of shocking endings!
What about Arlington Road?
What a fuckin awesome movie
Yeah that ending was fucked up but realistic!
@@batgurrl I totally agree, besides not many people know about it
@@batgurrl yeah, Tim Robbins steals the show and Jeff Bridges always delivers quality, Joan Cusack is also very good in this one, great script also and what an ending!
hell yes. One of the best twists ever, and a great movie on the whole. It was definitely massively underrated. But then again, lots of brilliant films do fly under the radar. The ones that make the most money aren't necessarily the best ones!
No Way Out with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman was the first move i can remember being shocked at the ending
Saw it, I was shocked too!
@@CraftySouthpaw I don't think that movie ever got the credit it deserved. It is one of my favorite movies.
I was surprised but it made no sense....
Very glad to see Seven on this list - one of the best movies ever made.
The ending of *Sleepaway Camp* is pretty twisted too
no one didn't saw that one coming...
prostitutes in hongkong be like
Bruh that ending was pretty fucked up
Omg the ending was bizarre
Helaina Evans 🍆
You had a good list going until you used "Mastery of the twist ending" and "M. Night Shymalan" in the same sentence.
Keebs0113 he definitely could be a master. But he’s a major hit and miss. But who’s better would you say?
@@aquiline-eagle9669 David Fincher Fight Club, Se7en, The Game
Cristopher Nolan Memento, and my favourite movie The Prestige.
All of these have some amazing twists.
I think for Sixth Sense alone he deserves that title. It is the only time I have watched a movie where both my brother and I looked at each other after the reveal and said "No way, No way, NO WAY!!"
That tiny clip of The Birds caused a chill. We were living in Japan, my mom wanted to watch it on TV, but it was in Japanese, I had nightmares for three weeks, I couldn't understand any things, but the pictures said it all.
How 'bout "Night of the Living Dead"(1968) where the lone survivor is mistaken for a zombie?
I think it’s important that people watch the boy in the striped pyjamas if they can because of how shocking/upsetting it is
The Others is such a great film with an amazing plot twist
boy in the striped pajamas’s ending always gets me 😭
The ending to _Brazil_ was so horrifying that the studio forced Terry Gilliam to change it after the initial theatrical release, and he took out a full-page ad in _Variety_ attacking the studio for doing that. The happy ending that the studio forced was an absolute travesty.
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas: Oh, BOY, did that movie have a profound effect on me, and I was in my 30s! I felt weird for days after seeing THAT ending.
Foebane72 imagine being like 10-11 and watching this. I haven't watched it since and it made me sick after from the ending.
The first Saw should also be on this list :D
I think the China Town ending with the "my sister my daughter" reveal was much more of a twist than some of the one you chose in this list.
the boy in striped pajamas was so sad like omg
edit;
THE SIXTH SENSE TOO OMGOMG
A movie with an ending that you would never guess is "Remember Me".
