Twist Ending Movies
Not in Order. Movies with a great Plot Twist at the end that change the whole perspective about some or all the characters, the tone of the story or the opinon about it, that are surprising in a good way, that make full sense with certain clues and details all along with the rest of the movie. Also the movies that have been saved by the twist and the ones that have gone better with it. Obviously ´this list it´s based on my personal opinion so it´s not a fact and I don´t have the intention to offend people that like other twist ending movies that aren´t included here because i haven´t see them or mostly I don´t think they are good twist endings.
