What is the Greatest Twist in Cinema History?

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.

Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.


A lot of movies have plot changing twists that we never see coming, but some movies are able to pull it off better than others.

So, the question I ask today is: What is the greatest twist in cinema history?


I’m going to choose The Sixth Sense. The twist at the end of this movie left viewers shocked and the reveal makes this a completely different movie upon a second watch. All the clues are right in front of us the whole time but the way that they are set up are so meticulous, nobody sees it coming until it actually gets revealed.


So what about you, screenagers? What is the greatest twist in cinema history?

I’ll see you in the trenches.
