Dear readers, this week, Z is for ZZZ. Do movies
send you to ZZZ or wake you up Zuddenly?
Like
some of the following for instance ... with the greatest plot twists of all
time.
(NB
Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen them yet!) Btw
Another slightly whimsical post, but life’s serious enough!
Some
of the biggest movie shocks have to be among these:
1.Primal
Fear (1996) – lawyers are terrible judge
of character (above)
Stuttering altar-boy murder suspect, Aaron, suffers from multiple personality disorder with a violent sociopath alter-ego called Roy – and neither can remember what the other does. Slick Defence Attorney, Richard Gere, manages to get Aaron declared not guilty by means of insanity, only for Aaron to reveal he was faking multiple personality disorder – and that Roy is his true personality and that he committed the murder of the archbishop without the least remorse.
2. Soylent Green (1973) - you are what you eat ... literally
3.
Psycho (1960) – a boy’s best friend is
his mother ...
Norman
Bates dressed as his mother!
4.The
Usual Suspects (1995) – the greatest
trick the devil ever pulled...
Kevin
Spacey’s character is actually the villain!
5.
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) – Worst
Dad ever?
Darth
Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father!
6.
Fight Club (1999) – don’t talk about the
Fight Club, especially to yourself!
Ed
Norton and Brad Pitt’s characters are the same person!
7.
The Wicker Man (1973) – Sgt Howie is lured as a sacrifice
8.
The Others (2001) – Nicole Kidman & family are ghosts
9.
Planet of the Apes (1968) – we blew it up!
Setting
is planet Earth in the future!
10.The
Sixth Sense (1999) – I am dead people...
Bruce
Willis’s character is in fact dead!
ANY
OTHER MOVIES YOU KNOW WITH PLOT TWISTS?

I don'tknow any of them so I cannot comment
Sixth Sense still has me shaking my head, great flicks!
Oh my gosh only seen numbers 6&9 how bad is that .
Some of your zzz films I think I will give a miss don't like scary films
You do a great review of the 'movies' ~ I liked Planet of the Apes for some reason ~ and Psycho is a classic!
Great post for Z ^_^
What! Brad Pitt and Ed Norton are the same?? What did I miss? I'll have to go look at that one again. The Sixth Sense had me up to the end -- I had no idea!
You know, I'm not a great movie watcher. I can't come up with any others.
I sure couldn't sleep through Psycho, Nora. Could you?
..
Wow! The only one out of all those that I have seen is The Sixth Sense. That's pretty bad! Actually I go to the movies a lot more now than I used to. We try to go about once a week now! Hope all's well! xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
Sixth Sense is my favorite twisty plot!
=)
I think I've seen half of these...Sixth Sense was my fav. Looper was interesting, if you haven't seen it yet, and I enjoyed Man On A Ledge. Oh, and Premium Rush had my heart thumping but the twists were on bikes!! My Z effort: http://lauriekazmierczak.com/zephyrean-clouds/
Primal Fear. Yes! I still remember nearly falling on the floor at the shocking ending.
Ah! You two! Lola and Nora;) I have to admit that I am not a big fan of kind of movies. hahaha I still do love you both. x
See you in the next round!
Love,
Scudds
I've seen most of them - but I will give Soylent Green a pass - forever!
Oh this was a great read! Lots of movies, mostly scary! LOL! Always fun to visit you here and see what you are up to! Great share!
I've seen #s 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10.
One with a great plot twist is Vertigo (Hitchcock).
I loved Sixth Sense - the twist at the end was quite unexpected.
One movie with an ending that gave me no end of upset was Summersby, with Richard Gere and Jodi Foster. The ending so upset me, that I swear, this is the honest truth, I do not watch dramas anymore unless I know how it ends BEFORE I watch.
Love a good twist.
The movies I like to watch are a bit calmer than these!
i've watched most of these films, except for 2 or 3.:p i've read Soylent Green and it gave me shivers. i love the boy's character in The Sixth Sense. and Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors. Primal Fear left me stunned.
Sixth sense is my favorite from your list. Have a fabulous week!

I admire your movie knowledge. From the list, I only watched three of them. Sixth Sense and The Others gave me shocked ending but I love Sixth Sense more.

I love Primal Fear!! And Sixth Sense. I can watch Primal Fear over and over and still enjoy it. But Sixth Sense, for some reason, after I found out the ending, I just can't get interested in it enough to watch it a 2nd time.
LOVE movies, I do.
of those listed, 'The Empire Strikes Back' is my favorite
much love...
I swear that every single Nicholas Sparks adapted movie I've watched sends me to sleep.
I want to enjoy them.
I want to feel emotional.
But they make me ZZZZZ.
Love some of the films you've shared. I definitely would not sleep through most of these titles!
Thanks for linking.
A+
