10 Movies That Give You Cool Stuff

Mulholland Drive 

Mulholland Drive 

While Mulholland Drive does not provide viewers with an explanation for the twist, it is virtually universally acknowledged that the first two acts of the film take place in Diane Selwyn’s dream. Many signs imply the nature of this world when watching the film’s broader dream part. Conversational beats and key events feel odd, alerting the viewer that something isn’t quite right. In addition, elements such as the blue box and key, as well as the re-use of names and faces, imply that Diane has categorized aspects of her real life into her fantasy.

Saw 

Saw 

With its closing twist revealing the identity of the Jigsaw Killer, the original Saw caught lightning in a bottle and is now one of the longest-running horror franchises. Many hints point to this twist, and viewers are rewarded for discovering them. For example, John Kramer’s body is seen sprawled out in the shape of an X, implying the “x marks the spot” clue. Jigsaw also says he’s “sick of the disease eating away at me,” reminding viewers that they’ve already seen a man dying from a brain tumor in a hospital bed. 

The Prestige 

The Prestige 

The plot twists of The Prestige finale revolve around Alfred Borden and Robert Angier’s animosity. It’s a picture about sacrifice and obsession, and the major revelation reveals how much Borden had to give up for his profession, thereby severing his life with his twin brother. Throughout the film, the two switch between the Borden character and his aide, Fallon. The Fallon character appears in the film so infrequently that he doesn’t attract much attention, but those with a sharp eye may be able to recognize Christian Bale beneath the facial hair and cosmetics. 

Inside Man 

Inside Man

Inside Man, directed by Spike Lee, is a great 2000s thriller that begins as a standard bank heist but turns into much more. The film contains numerous moving parts, and it’s difficult to understand what’s going on during the first viewing. The ending reveals the burglars’ objectives, who instead of stealing money create a trail for Denzel Washington’s Detective Frazier to incriminate a corrupt bank owner. Inside Man’s reward is learning the multifaceted motives of the film’s protagonists. 

Oldboy 

Oldboy

Oldboy offers one of the most violent and horrifying plot twists ever, but foreshadowing elements keep the twist satisfying. After being imprisoned for 15 years, Dae-su has a romantic relationship with Mi-do. Woo-jin, who orchestrates the film’s events, brings the two together, disgustingly disclosing at the end that Mi-do is Dae-su’s estranged daughter. It’s a stunning moment, but when it’s revealed that they were hypnotized to fall in love with each other, the obviously artificial nature of their connection makes a lot more sense. 

The Usual Suspects 

The Usual Suspects

The Usual Suspects is set after a crime, and Kevin Spacey’s Kint is interrogated about the circumstances of the terrible theft. Kint tells the story of the intriguing Keyser Soze, a criminal whose identity is unknown. The ultimate twist reveals that Kint had been fabricating the story the entire time, utilizing phrases and names from the room to dupe both the cops and the audience. There are multiple foreshadowing moments in Kint where the camera focuses on him analyzing words from around the room, notably the Kobayashi coffee mug. 

The Departed 

The Departed

Martin Scorsese employed a subtle visual trick to indicate which people would die in The Departed, similar to the foreshadowing in Se7en. There are numerous shots in the film where those who will die are marked with an X. It’s a gratifying visual motif to notice, especially considering the film’s fast-paced, rapid-fire narrative style. 

Shutter Island  

Shutter Island 

Shutter Island, another Martin Scorsese thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is notable for its dramatic plot twist that reveals DiCaprio’s US Marshal Teddy Daniels as a patient at the asylum. Shutter Island provides only a few hints leading up to its story twist, and they are easily missed. The way the guards engage with DiCaprio as a patient differs from how they interact with Mark Ruffalo’s Chuck, who is actually a doctor on the island. Whether or not the spectator picks up on the hints, Shutter Island’s twist rewards the viewer for paying attention. 

Fight Club 

Fight Club

Fight Club is a highly popular picture directed by David Fincher, partly because Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden is one of the most quotable movie characters ever. Even those familiar with the film’s concept may be surprised by the primary plot twist, which exposes Durden to be a hallucination of the Narrator’s imagination. Several minor indicators throughout the film reveal Durden’s deception. Only the Narrator sends off any alarms when the two smash cars with baseball bats. 

Se7en 

Se7en

Kevin Spacey’s villain reveal plot twist isn’t exclusive to The Usual Suspects. In reality, it isn’t the only one in 1995. The essential twist in Se7en, however, is less about who John Doe is and more about what he’s done. In the devastating Se7en climax, John Doe reveals his final murder, in which he murdered Tracy Mills and had her head carried to the climactic location. David Fincher’s camerawork predicted this moment, frequently framing Paltrow’s character from the neck up. 

The Sixth Sense 

The Sixth Sense 

Night Shyamalan’s career was launched with The Sixth Sense, which established a filmography filled with supernatural aspects and frightening surprise endings. Shyamalan meticulously places clues about Cole Sear’s ability to see the dead throughout The Sixth Sense. While it’s hidden in plain sight, the most obvious foreshadowing is that no other character interacts with Bruce Willis’ Malcolm.

Memento 

Memento

Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan, is notorious for being extremely difficult to understand, with its unique narrative structure and non-linear timeline adding to the uncertainty caused by the main character’s memory loss. Memento, like The Usual Suspects, is a story distinguished by untrustworthy narration, generating a mind-bending experience that allows the viewer to piece together the puzzle at the conclusion. It’s difficult to enjoy this film without paying complete attention to it.
