There’s nothing like a good plot twist, right?  Well, here . . . supposedly . . . are the 10 wildest in movie history:
(SPOILER ALERT:  Stop reading now if you’re a hardcore movie buff and don’t want the twists revealed for any movies you haven’t seen yet.)
1.  “Psycho”,  1960.  This one has TWO:  First, Janet Leigh DIES a third of the way through the movie, even though she’s the lead character up until then.  Second, Mrs. Bates doesn’t exist.  Norman has multiple personality disorder.
2.  “Planet of the Apes”,  1968.  It’s not another planet . . . it’s Earth in the distant future.
3. The Italian murder mystery “Deep Red”,  1975.  The killer was basically hiding in plain sight the whole time.  In fact, she’s even glimpsed in a mirror early in the film, but you don’t realize it until the end.
4.  “Sleepaway Camp”,  1983.  The killer is actually quiet camper Angela.  Oh, and she’s not a “she” at all.  “She” is a boy who was raised as a girl by her crazy aunt.
5.  “The Usual Suspects”,  1995.  Here’s a phrase that’s taken on new meaning in the past 28 years:  Kevin Spacey did it.
6.  “Primal Fear”,  1996.  Edward Norton’s character FAKED having multiple personalities to avoid a murder conviction.
7.  “Fight Club”,  1999.  Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden character doesn’t actually exist . . . he’s just in the head of Edward Norton’s character.
8.  “The Sixth Sense”,  1999.  Bruce Willis was dead almost the entire movie, he just didn’t know it.
9.  “The Others”,  2001.  Nicole Kidman and her kids were dead the ENTIRE movie, they just didn’t know it.
10.  “Mulholland Drive”,  2001.  A David Lynch flick.  It would probably take me all morning to properly contextualize the twist.  Just watch it if you’re curious.  (???)
