One of the things that makes a movie boring is predictability. Sometimes you watch a story unfold and you can guess how it will end, so what’s the point of watching it, then, if it doesn’t surprise you with something new?
Other times movies will have such plot twists that even if you had several theories on how the movie would turn out, none of them were even close to what the director had in mind. They are interesting to watch because they don’t follow any pattern and many successful movies will have some element of surprise in them.
To have a list of these kinds of movies to watch later, Reddit user These_Ad1806 asked “What movie has the best twist?” and the cinephiles of the internet offered a variety of them. Which ones do you agree with? Upvote them to let us know and leave your own suggestions in the comments!

I'm mentioning this movie not because it is the best but rather because it is hard to find digitally for some reason but the movie "The Others" with Nicole Kidman has a great twist for its time.

It starts out being about a woman on the run with a suitcase full of money and then turns into a completely different movie a third of the way in.

The scene where that maid tried to get into that secret basement just turned the movie upside down. That was so unexpected!
