10. Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back- Vader is Luke's father
 |
| They really did strike back! |
When I was little, I was a huge Star Wars fan, as was my dad. It is a huge twist when we find out that the man who murdered Luke Skywalker's father, Darth Vader, never actually murdered Luke's father. Luke's father was still alive, he just happened to go by a new name, Darth Vader. To make this scene even more memorable, Darth Vader then proceeds to cut off Luke's hand.
9. Planet of the Apes- The planet is Earth
 |
| Well, this cover spoils it! |
In the original Planet of the Apes, a crew of deep space explorers led by George Taylor crashes on a mysterious planet. As the plot unfolds, the last two remaining crew members Taylor and Landon are captured by Apes, who rule this planet with their human servants. It is made clear that humans once ruled this planet (hint hint). At the very end of the movie, when Taylor rides off to freedom, he comes across the Statue of Liberty, which has been buried in the desert, showing they have actually returned to Earth.
8. The Book of Eli- Eli is Blind
 |
| Nice Shades! |
Throughout the Book of Eli, Eli has been a survivalist who is pretty good at what he does in the apocalypse, surviving. He has been killing bad guys everywhere he goes in order to mass produce the last known copy of the Bible. However, as Eli is dying, he begins to recite the Bible from memory. It all begins to make sense, Eli has been blind this whole time. What makes this twist so great is every fight scene, the director made sure to include some sort of hint that he was blind.
7. Seven- John Doe turns himself in and still completes the plan
 |
| 2 Great Actors on This Cover |
Seven follows a serial killer who has been killing people who embody the seven deadly sins. With Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride and Sloth killed, the killer shockingly just turns himself in. Why doesn't he complete his ritual? The answer, he already has, you just have to look at what's in the box to see for yourself.
6. Oldboy- Oh Dae-su is in love with his daughter
 |
| He looks just a bit crazy! |
Korean films have never been my thing. However, with a US remake on its way, I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed. Oh Dae-su is suddenly captured an forced to live in a hotel room for 15 years. He is suddenly released and told he has one week to figure out why he was captured, or his daughter who was 3 when he was captured will be killed. After having fallen in love, murdering countless baddies, the antagonist is revealed. The Oh Dae-su and the antagonist Yoo Ji-tae went to high school together and the Dae-su discovered Ji-tae was having a relationship with his sister and Dae-su told the whole school. Ji-tae's sister then killed herself. The twist however is that the young girl Dae-su has fallen in love with and slept with was actually his daughter he has been looking for this whole time.
5. Psycho- Norman Bates is pretending to be his mom Norma
 |
| The master of twists, Hitchcock! |
Welcome to the Bates Motel, run by son Norman and his ill mother Norma. If you stay at this motel, you will have a peaceful night sleep, a sleep you will never wake up from. Throughout the movie, it becomes clear that Norma is a killer and needs to be put away. However, we learn that Norma is already dead, Norman has a split personality and when he takes over as Norma, he becomes a killer.
4. The Usual Suspects- Verbal is actually Keyser Soze
 |
| He is on the right! |
The movie is all about one question, "Who is Keyser Soze". Verbal Kent is in a police station describing his story about how him and his gang were set up by Soze on a suicide mission that resulted in a ship being burned down. At the end of his story, he is given full immunity and walks out. A police sketch comes in and the sketch resembles Kent, who indeed faked his gimp all movie and completely made up his story. Verbal Kent is Keyser Soze.
3. Momento- Leonard actually killed his wife and he is Sammy Jenkins
 |
| This picture is Inception before Inception |
How does Leonard, a guy with short-term memory loss track down his wife's killer? He has to get tattoo's pictures, take good notes and he has to listen to other people. The movie plays in 5 minute intervals and it starts from the ending chronologically, switches to black and white (the beginning chronologically) and at the end of the movie, it all converges which is the middle chronologically. If you can wrap your head around all that, you are in for a great ending that shows us that Leonard's wife survived the attack, but he ended up killing her by overdosing her on her insulin shots. Now he has just been used by everyone around him, hence why he originally tricked himself into killing certain people.
2. The Sixth Sense- Crowe has been dead the whole time
 |
| M. Night had such a great start with this, but he hasn't done much since |
A young boy named Cole has a strange condition in which he sees dead people and can communicate with them. Haley eventually comes in contact with Dr. Malcolm Crowe who is a children's psychologist. Crowe has been going through martial problems with his wife, who has been slowly pretending like he doesn't exist. You guessed it, Crowe doesn't exist, he has been dead this whole time.
1. Fight Club- Tyler is one of the protagonists multiple personality
 |
| Better than the spliced photo! |
This movie just blew my mind. The first twist in my mind is the name of the movie, Fight Club. The movie is not really about fighting. The unnamed protagonist has been suffering from insomnia and hates his corporate job. However, he meets Tyler Durdan who just shakes up his life and makes him feel alive. When things go downhill with Tyler, he investigates Tyler only to learn that they are the same person. The protagonist is Durdan and even at the ending, we cannot tell who is who.
