Best Surprise Ending to a movie

Andy escaped and others got their comeuppances? Isn't that what was expected? Am i missing something?
You know that 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit…
They acted like Andy had hung himself in his cell. This was based on a Steven king book, so completely possible. Then when they show his cell he had completely disappeared. When he threw that statue threw the poster and then tore the poster off the wall my head almost exploded. The twist that he had been escaping for years and no one, including me as the viewer, had any idea.
Worst movie ever. I couldn’t even make it through the first 2 minutes***
Craig Kilborn ruined the ending of the Sixth Sense on the old Late Late Show. Didn't realize how crappy that was until I saw the movie 2 days later.
I can't really think of a movie that isn't listed here, but if I was forced, I would say Insomnia. It's been forever since I've seen it, so I don't remember the ending so much as I remember it being Robin Wiliams best work. I am not going to say anything else about it so I don't ruin it, except that in my opinion it is the best work Christopher Nolan has done except the Dark Knight trilogy.
I was just sitting here thinking about that. Great little 80's movie with a tight script. Costner, Hackman... and then Sean Young was at peak hotness.
I have a buddy who swears he saw it coming, I'm like, yeah right.

The Usual Suspects
I figured out Sixth Sense during one scene where she not only ignored him but didn't react to him at all. Pissed me off.
I love movies so I like all of these suggestions. You've given me a binge theme.

The lead actress kept finding herself in a lot of sticky situations. Especially that one scene where the mailman was trying to get in through the back door to deliver his package.
Also - one of my favorites - virtually every episode of every season of 24. Maybe I’m just too easily fooled. In fact, the last episode of Season 1 caught me *completely* by surprise.
Lots of great character actors in that one too. Solid movie and definitely a twist.
This line of comments feels like it could get off the rails soon. Get off soon, get it??
I was actually in total shock that they killed off Decaprio. I expected geriatric Rose to be standing near the rail on that ship ready to toss a multi-million dollar diamond into the sea when at the last moment some old geezer puts his hand on hers to stop her. And there stands Jack with a freaking pencil in his hand ready to draw some saggy boobs. This would have been a much more typical chick flick ending.
12 monkeys. Maybe not my favorite, but everything in that movie felt like a twist
To make it full circle one of our Cross Country runners, Madison Jones, had her email read during this podcast.
Lots of the classics named.
Recent one (and underrated movie in general)- Ex Machina

Good call. We've got surround sound in the living room so that one scene where the screen went dark and it sounded like someone was running around the ceiling almost had me in the fetal position. Lolz
TITANIC
i never saw it coming that the old woman dropping that diamond back in the ocean. DAMB shame
Dumb and Dumber....
"You'll have to excuse my friend, he's not so smart. The town is THAT way"
Ok not really what you're looking for, but you know it was a surprise.

Holy crap I haven't thought about that movie in years!
I remember watching it as a teenager for the boobies, then was blown away at the end.
