A good twist can elevate a good movie to a great movie. Fans on Reddit are discussing the movies that shocked viewers the most with a left-field change and made the film that much better.
I saw TheUsual Suspects in the theater when it first was released. We had been swimming at the river all day in the hot sun and drinking beers, but my friends wanted to go to the movie so I tagged along.
95% through the movie, the sun and beers caught up to me and my eyes started to droop. There was a lot of quiet talking going on in the movie and I just zonked out.
Wake up to the credits rolling and my friends are sitting there with their jaws on the ground saying 'holy f*ck! amazing! holy sh*t!' and I'm just blinking, groggy and confused asking, 'wha' happened?!'
They couldn't even explain it and that's how I missed the greatest twist in a movie ever.
Shawshank Redemption when Andy doesn’t come out for headcount and you wonder if he finally offed himself because he couldn’t take it anymore only to find out he dug a fr**king tunnel with a rock hammer.
Ah classic. My wife thought it was dumb as we were watching it until the last like five minutes of the movie. Now it’s like one of her favorite movies.
I’m really surprised I had to go this far down for this one. I saw this in the theater and it took me so long to process what had just happened. I legitimately haven’t watched the movie again because it just f*cked me up so bad.
