What movie twist genuinely managed to surprise you?
- Original Saw when jigsaw gets up from the middle of the floor.
— absolution26
- "No. I am your father."
Saw this in the theater in 1980. Mind blown.
— UlrichZauber
- The ending of Memento. I actually had the movie spoiled for me, so I knew about the "twist" before I watched it. And yet the ending still managed to shock me. That's how good that movie was.

- The Departed, when DiCaprio was killed in the lift. Total shock/surprise!
— LivingChronically
- The Sheep was the bad guy in Zootopia the whole time??
— ElFeto
- The Prestige. The reveal of Borden's secret was totally unexpected, but made so much sense on second viewing.
— EpicurusEatsBread
- Shutter Island. I thought they were fucking with him.
— steppenfloyd
- The ending to Ex Machina. I was really expecting a happy ending, not at all the way it turned out.

- I really didn't expect Hans to be the bad guy.
— curioustriangle
- The usual suspects
— _thandiwale
- The ending of the Mist, even surprised the author of the book.
— crafting-ur-end
- The last scene of Apocalypto. To think he survived all those trials only to find the Spanish at the shore and the hope in his eyes when he sees them. I have been surprised by many movies but this one stuck with me.

- Spider-Man homecoming and the Dad/villain reveal.
