[sm_dontknow] Not really. Sure, something was in the cards but I didn't guess exactly what. Just a simple bogger watching a movie. ;) Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: gleek on January 11, 2008, 06:36:36 PM Best:
Primal Fear Memento Worst: No Way Out Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: stroh on January 11, 2008, 08:31:49 PM This thread is way to much for me.
I still get surprised when the toilet water turns blue. Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: BFBoy on January 12, 2008, 03:57:15 AM Worst: Signs I assume we are talking about Day of the Triffids. I remember, when I was young, (A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away), being able to sleep at night, after seeing this movie. The only reason I could sleep was that there was an way to kill these things and we were given the information. (It was very important to know that the monster could be killed). [sm_redface] Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: Fuzzy on January 12, 2008, 07:07:15 AM Agree with a number that have mentioned.
I loved Se7en because the ending was intense I may start taking spacey's advice on movies because when "The Village" was over And I'll add one that I'll rate as good - Arlington Road with Tim Robbins and Jeff Bridges. Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: Fuzzy on January 12, 2008, 07:11:21 AM I need to add another one. And the impact was probably greater due to my age when first seeing it.
The Planet of the Apes. The final scene was pretty cool at the time.

THE movie twist of all time was The Crying Game Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: Uisce Beatha on January 12, 2008, 08:21:56 AM I can say unequivocally that y'all are wrong. THE movie twist of all time was The Crying Game I did mention that albeit in the 'bad' section.

One was an Australian, almost play like, version. I believe it was made for TV, and played on PBS. The 1962 version is the one I was speaking about. Even though I was 11, it was frightening and quite tense. On a side note, my brother, who was 4 years older than me, had gotten the comic book story a couple of years before the movie came out, and it scared him so much that he couldn't finish the book. Believe me, the story line is more than captivating. Title: Re: Movie twists Post by: hobbit on January 12, 2008, 05:33:11 PM I did see several of these coming, but that does not make them bad...
Jacob's Ladder Shawshank Redemption Usual Suspects Shattered The Game Still have not seen The Crying Game, and have no plans to ;) The ending of Seven was incredible and intense, but I didn't consider it a twist. Shawshank gave too much away in the previews, but it is still an awesome movie and I loved the 'twist'. |
