To coincide with the release of a not-very-memorable film with a not-very-memorable twist - RPatz's Remember Me (no, we don't) - is a top-ten of twists. We want to hear yours.

The list in full (click on the name to buy it on Amazon):
  1. Sixth Sense
  2. Psycho
  3. The Usual Suspects
  4. The Empire Strikes Back
  5. Saw
  6. Fight Club
  7. The Wicker Man
  8. The Others
  9. Seven
  10. Planet of the Apes
There are some obvious omissions, so let's play Let's Twist Again: put your favourite twists in the comments below. I'll start: nothing blows me away like the daughter-sister-daughter-sister moment in Chinatown.

The reveal at the end of Terry Gilliam's Brazil - the happy ending is a figment of imagination of the (driven insane by torture) hero. Also the final image in 28 Days Later - the woman and the girl walking down a hospital corridor reveals that the happy ending was just the final dying thoughts of Cillian Murphy's character. Oh and most of Jacob's Ladder of course.

Very obvious one, this, and surprised it's not in the top 10 list - The Vanishing (obviously the original, not the remake). But did you expect Mr Lucier to actually spoil as well as cite the spoiler?

Jagged Edge. It was Jeff Bridges all along.
