Movies which surprised you.

Closer - Natalie Portman

got to agree

Does anyone recall the last movie that you watched and didn't see the ending/big reveal/plot twist etc, coming?
Me, the only one I can think of, and it's a single scene not the ending, is Deep Blue Sea when the shark jumps out of the water and eats Mace Windu . Didn't see that coming.

I saw that scene coming. In fact, the whole movie was silly and predictable, IMHO.

Jerry Maguire. I was surprised to see that Tom Cruise can actually act on occasion.

Eh?? The Cruiser is a God among actors. There is no question that the dude is 200% committed to all his films, and it shows.

Movie that surprised me: "Maze". I watched it to see more of Laura Linney, and boy did I ever. Damn skippy.

Oh wait. You meant a plot twist type of surprise....

Return of the King. Never read the book before so when Frodo wanted to keep the ring I flipped. Glad to see that it did get destroyed though.

The Sixth Sense, definitely. I didn't have a clue. And the shock scene in Serenity definitely surprised me, not so much what happened as who it happened to.

Okay, what scene is everyone referring to? To me, I'm thinking there's probably like two things that would surprise the watcher of the original series. Trying to think of which one you guys are talking about.

Clue: "Leaf on the wind."

"I am a leaf on the wind"

And then there is the ending of the tv series The Prisoner ... still not sure if I will ever really understand it.

I don't think anyone is supposed to Interesting enough, I have seen two seperate endings to that; I have no idea how that could happen since I'd assume they'd work off the same prints. it totally changes the series, though. The one I saw had a longer sequence on the vehicle leaving the Village and then on the highway to London (I presume). The ending was where he walks into his own townhouse, which has a '1' above the door. The door, when it opens, makes the same weird sound all the doors in the Village made. The assumption I've heard is that not only is he now 'Number One' but always has been.

Elton John's Candle In The Wind?

Bummer, somebody already got my standout from Assault on Precint 13. Also the twist in T3 is why I actually thought that movie was in some ways the best of the series.

Also, the twist in Total Recall is pretty unexpected one has to admit.
