@@seanyonthemic yessss prisoners had such a plot twist!! I hated the ending not knowing would he be found or die down there hmmmm. You'd never assume that person to be the killer
Dude! I did not expect you to mention the Crazy, Stupid Love twist! 😂 That’s probably my favorite romantic comedy and that plot twist had me and my theatre howling! Of course, my favorite though is, “No. I am your father”. That is arguably THE greatest twist in movie history.
YES!!!! Primal Fear absolutely had to be on this list. The ending still shocks me. I’ve recommended it to several friends and honestly I can’t recommend it enough. Amazing film and Edward Norton is brilliant! But... Frailty, I absolutely agree is #1. That movie had me intrigued and engaged the entire time. I was completely thrown for a loop when I saw the ending. Such a great twist and I too recommend it to anyone I know. It is excellent!
I'm so glad you gave Frailty the recognition it deserves. I pride myself on typically predicting some aspects of a movie by the end but one movie that kept me guessing and guessing until the reveal to where my wife and I both screamed "WHAT?!" with chills was The Visit.
Frailty was a blind buy for me and wow when I finally popped it into the player I was floored! Such an amazing movie watch it when you have the time to really sit and watch it. Seven is probably one of my all time favorite movies, I thought there was more than one thing in the box don't want to spoil it for anyone whose not seen it.
I friggin love Identity, don't get the hate, it made the whole film for me. Also loved The Prestige, Primal Fear but my fav jaw drop plot twist is Saw. Never saw it coming.
You put one of my favorite movies on the list, the impeccable taste Cody! Perks of Being a Wallflower shook me to my core when I watched it years back and then reading the twist is even more surprising!
I agree 100%! The actors, direction, plot, and music made this a cinematic masterpiece one won't soon forget after watching this coming of age story. The twist in the movie is taboo yet not talked about enough. The movie had the courage to do so. Logan mastered the role. Finally, and rip David Bowie..."HERO!"
I would put The Sixth Sense on the list. Probably one of the best twists ever. However, I went to the theater not knowing the twist. Plus it was right after I lost my Dad, so the twist and the scenes after really hit me emotionally. Great list!!!!!
When I first saw From Dusk Til Dawn, I had no clue the twist was happening halfway through the movie. Also my vote for 1 would be the Empire Strikes Back twist.
I saw FDTD when I was 11 because my mom thought George Clooney was hot and wanted to see him after seeing the cover with him having tattoos! So we had no idea what was coming til it did. FUN TIMES 😂😂😂
All great choices! I saw Frailty when it came out in theaters, did not see it coming. Also Gone Baby Gone is a TREMENDOUS movie, Ed Harris’s performance being my favorite part!
I love your number one! Frailty is an amazing yet unknown movie to most. The plot twists are gut punch after gut punch. One of my all time favorite films by the late great Bill Paxton. Oh and Matthew McConaughey did a great job playing both rolls.
Cody, I gotta say its an absolute joy to see somebody give FRAILTY the praise it deserves - i am lining this up for review if you'd ever like to do something. Very underrated and beautifully constructed
Great list I’d put Fallen on here as well the plot twist not only involving the characters but who’s actually narrating the opening and ending absolutely perfectly executed film
Love that Frailty is #1!! I had the same reaction as you, when all the characters revealed their true motivations. I find that upon rewatching the movie, knowing what is really going on, gives it an even creepier and sadder vibe, than you get when watching it for the first time.
It was pretty bad. I definitely agree with that. But some movies have some really atrocious plot twists. Like at least Sartain didn't ruin Halloween 2018. Some plot twists have completely destroyed movies.
This was an awesome watch! I have a few movies to watch, and was reminded of a few to rewatch! I agree, “Lucky Number Slevin” criminally underrated and I also think it’s “Tarantino” esqu. I was worried that “Frailty” was left off and you came through in the clutch! Well done.
The Prestige was truly great. It has stuck with me ever since I first watched it. The psychological effect the rivalry has on the men and the people around them is unforgettable. I’m glad you brought up the line Jackman said about not knowing if he drowns or is the prestige because that does seem to confuse people. And I appreciate how Nolan didn’t explain it too much. It makes the whole situation more eerie.
The Prestige is my favorite Nolan film and funny enough the first time I watched it was the when my highschool English teacher showed us it the last week of school.
Given Cody's age (about a year or two younger than me), that probably falls into the same category as Sixth Sense. There were a lot of great plot twists in the late 90s and early-2000s that were ruined for those of us who were kids at the time. Most of them were spoiled on fucking TV shows before they'd left the theater.
Great list! The description for Gone Baby Gone was perfect dude. I loved the movie Identity since it came out, I think its underrated. I'd put The Usual Suspects on here, I freaking love it. Side note; you do not get enough credit for knowing who directs, writes, and acts and everything in these movies, totally awesome 🤘🤘
Identity is one of the most underrated/underviewed films in my opinion. I wish it had gotten the same amount of attention as James Mangold's other films, it's one of his best. And yes, some movie channels act like they've done no more research than watch the movies, Cody comes prepared.
Mystic river would have to be on my list for sure. And maybe not a plot twist exactly, but the ending of american history x hit me hard too. Love that movie.
I've actually never seen the majority of these films 😂 I'd say not necessarily the best plot twist but the most famous to me was the "I am your father" twist in Empire Strikes Back
In reality, that very may have been the best twist when it first came out, but I would go as far to say it's no longer even a twist since everyone knows it, and that not knowing or expecting it is the definition of a twist. (I'm not trying to be a contentious, it was/is a great plot device, but I just don't think it can even be considered a true twist anymore.)
Recently I saw "Adrift" and I was surprised by the twist near the end of the movie :) Other movies with good plot twists: The Descent (2005), Shutter Island (2010), The Machinist (2004), Prisoners (2013), A Perfect Getaway (2009), Ransom (1996), Scream (1996), Planet Of The Apes (1968), etc.
Coming back to this video since I originally had to skip to number 3. Just finished "Rudderless" due to your recommendation in this video. So glad I did. Great film Cody. Gonna start sharing it around also.
My personal favorite plot twist is from For A Few Dollars More. It's surprisingly simple but so freaking effective. Plus that locket music gives me chills.
You should watch Uninvited, bet you're gonna predict it, cause Shutter island is a replica of it, also Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher, Illusionist and that other one with Christian Bale that's the same shit
@@osmankovacevic6135 I saw Butterfly Effect a long time ago, barely remember it. I can't remember if I saw the Illusionist though. For some reason I was thinking of Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions.
@@Gregbaltzer Illusionist is like Prestige, find it, came out at same year 2006, same topic but I prefer the Illusionist with Edward Norton. Uninvited will blow your mind. Just slow burner but it's a nice pay off at the end.
Man, I straight up took your advice and sought out Frailty. After forgetting about the plot twist, I've given it a shot, and Holy fawk lol the look of utter shock in the kids eyes when his Dad tells them about the dream was surreal af. Please do a review of this. Thank you so much!
Frailty.....great plot twists....stringing you along until the end and leaves you speechless and wanting to rewatch to see if you missed early signs of the twists....
Cody, I was hoping you had Primal Fear, Identity & Frailty on your list & u do! Awesome list! I will be seeing Predistination, Rudderless & Lucky Number Slevin
You earned my like by having Lucky Number Slevin and Primal Fear, but if I could love this video, it would be for Frailty and my favorite movie ever, The Prestige. Thank you for not forgetting these wonderful movies!
Crazy stupid love hell yeah, I love that movie and that twist really got me. Yes then you talk about the perks of being a wallflower one of my favorite movies of the last decade and I love the book. Thanks for all the hard work, keep it up your videos are always great.
Such a great video! Frailty, Primal Fear, identity, are some of my faves! Will definitely be checking out rudderless based on your recommendation. Will probably watch this again to find some other gems that I haven't seen yet
I really liked the plot twists in The Uninvited and Primal Fear and I didn't see The Prestige but the way you describe the plot twist it sounds like it's worth checking out.
I love Rudderless and I was so surprised to see this on your list! Thank you so much for including this film. I love everything about this film. Also, Frailty is not talked about enough! Such a brilliant film.
@@CodyLeachYT Buddy i don't get how you can like the twist in repo men. Basically the twist is that half the movie is kind of a dream. I thought you hated that. That is what you said about high tension(I just watched that video🙂) And now you like it. A little inconsistent mate.
Great video man! Rudderless is such a great film. Honestly was speechless first time I saw it after it ended. Something about when it's over it just stays with you and even days after. Loved all the music and feel like the music is a whole other character as well. I have also been telling all my friends and family to check this movie out. I believe it's a really special film that everyone should see.
I bought Frailty and Identity at a used cd/DVD store, watched both with no trailer or any information before hand. They are both awesome movies, and they are deserving to be the top 2 best plot twists. I've re-watched several times. 😉
Great list, Cody. I would definitely choose Predestination as favorite WTF twist but Frailty was pretty insane too. I'm kinda glad that you didn't put everyone's favorite Usual Suspects in there but that's just me.
Great list and a lot of fun. I wondered early on if your number 2 was gonna make the list and I hadn't even thought of your number one which is a great and underrated movie. I recommend it all the time.
Great list, frailty and identity are my personal 2 favorite plot twist. Leading up to number 1 I was thinking where's frailty I didn't think it would be number 1 but it deserves to be
You are legit the only guy who I have ever heard talk about Rudderless and on your recommendation I just finished watching it. Out-goddamn-standing. Thank you for finding such a hidden gem!
I had never heard of rudderless so thank you for making me interested in watching it. I just did and it was awesome. I wasn't THAT caught off guard regarding the twist just because as soon as they talked about a shooting I remembered We Need To Talk About Kevin, which touches the subject in a completely different way. great video(:
Your frailty review I think in one of your top 10 or 50 movies is what got me watching your channel cause it was such a good review made me want to check it out and loved it that being said can't wait to watch rudderless
Dude, I just watched Frailty with my mom two weeks ago. She was completely blown away. I had already seen it before and you're right it is a great movie. But if I'm not mistaken, the people killed in the movie actually were supposed to be demons, even the older son which is why he is so rebellious toward the dad as the movie progresses and it which is also why he can't see the "people" as demons. My mom and I talked about the film after watching it and it seems that all the demons were killers.
I know, I had a hard time believing the father the whole movie (because of the narrative presented the whole time) and then at the end, it's like, "Damn, he was right all along." Great movie! Shocker ending.
Cody, Thank you so much for Not ruining the twist in the 2008 movie The Uninvited, as I just stayed up all night thru early a.m. watching it & feel it was a Good movie w/a Great & very Surprising twist ending!😧😊
This is a great list. Here's my list: 1. The second act/ending of Mulholland Drive 2. Shutter Island 3. Incendies 4. The Sixth Sense 5. Blade Runner 2049 6. Knives Out 7. The Accountant (Brilliant/underrated film) 8. Gone Baby Gone 9. Fight Club 10. The Dark Knight Rises (Talia Al Ghul being the secondary villain. I love the reveal and her arc connects to Bruce and Bane in a great way) Honorable mentions: 1. Frailty 2. The Empire Strikes Back 3. Lucky Number Slevin 4. Annihilation 5. Primal Fear 6. Ocean's Twelve (Underrated movie with a twist that reframes the story)
1. Empire Strikes Back (Turns the whole movie on its head) 2. Memento (remember first watching it and my jaw literally dropped at how much we were led to believe turned out to not be true.) 3. Sixth Sense (Again, I was so amazed at how Shamayalan was able to put that twist in there.) 4. Fight Club (The best schizophrenic twist in movie history) 5. Unbreakable (Gives me the chills every time) 6. Prestige (I like how the whole movie fits together) 7. Friday the 13th (I disregard that bullshit hospital scene, the movies ends with Jason pulling Alice into the water) 8. Se7en (Kevin Spacey’s whole plan is a twist, I can’t type it all out) 9. Us (That sent chills down my spine) 10. Gone Girl (Twists everything onto its head)
Dorito Chip Gamer Usual Suspects has a great plot twist. Every time I watch that movie I try to figure out how much of the story Verbal is telling the main cop is actually true and how much is a lie.
Empire strikes back has such an amazing twist but considering the twist itself is now a pop icon there’s no way you can leave the movie today astonished and amazed by the twist considering everyone knows it.
Love most of those films, especially Frailty. Some other great movie twists are: Psycho, The Mist, Don't Look Now, White Noise 2: The Light, Cemetery Man, The Fog, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, Get Out, Motel Hell, Final Destination 5 and Shutter Island.
One that always got me as a kid was Judge Doom being revealed to be a toon in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Like Sleepaway Camp, the twist wasn't who the villain was, but WHAT the villain was.
Oh yes, Sleepaway Camp... lmao, no kidding, I was so young and naive when I saw this film for the first time, I didn't really understand what was going on in that last scene. But when I saw it a few years later again, my mouth just dropped.
Thank you for mentioning Frailty. The whole video i was hoping to see it. I got down to #3, and im preparing to comment that it should've been on your list. Then boom, #1 ❤
I know it's been said to death, but when I first watch scream upon it's release, that blew my mind at the time. I thought the Last Exorcism had a great twist as well. Good list Cody.
I've been watching you videos for a while but for some reason 4 year old videos of yours keep popping up on my feed. That being said, lucky number sleven is such an underrated movie it sickens me. I'm glad this popped up.
My favorite movie twists Ghost (1990) - Sam Wheat finding out that Carl Bruner and Willy Lopez are working together Hot Fuzz (2007) the NWA reveal Scream (1996) Billy Loomis and Stu Macher Knives Out (2019) Ransom Thrombey Wreck It Ralph (2012) Turbo reveal Unbreakable (2000) Samuel L. Jackson twist
Cody you been killien it dude. Ur Killen the Horror game.. Good Work!! Hey you should do more Live Commentaries while watching a movie of your choice. Give people a heads up and Give the people what they want.. Hidden Gem Live Commentaries with you and CP.. !!!! Your the man brah lol
GOOD CALL! "Frailty" is amazing. It just keeps on going with twist after twist after twist. Within 2 minutes my jaw basically dug a hole to Australia. I mean until the last few minutes, it was a great movie. Extremely harrowing with great performances and beautifully shot. But the ending knocked my socks off. I usually can see twists coming, but Holy F! This flick relentlessly turned it on its head in a manner that is insane. I recently showed it to my BF who was raised in a very religious (Catholic) family and he was not a fan of the ending, since he had hoped that it would be open-ended and leave the rest to the audience. I disagree with his opinion, but get where he's coming from. (I would give a shout-out to "Fight Club", "Wild Things" and "Orphan".)
Cody Leach has a BOYZ N THE HOOD T Shirt on.....he is officially the coolest guy ever !!!!!!
Agreed
True that
Ricky!!
@@tylerphillips6523 no cringe.
It had a surprise ending.
The twist in “Prisoners” got me the very first time. Wow....plus that movie is one of the most uncomfortable films I’ve ever seen in theaters.
Prisoners?
James Richter With Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllanhal
Sean Austin what is the twist?
Prisoners is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Wheww....
@@seanyonthemic yessss prisoners had such a plot twist!! I hated the ending not knowing would he be found or die down there hmmmm. You'd never assume that person to be the killer
Finally someone talking about lucky number slevin such underrated movie
Blew my mind!!! Still have the original copy
I love that movie, way underrated.
Loved that movie!!!
Dude! I did not expect you to mention the Crazy, Stupid Love twist! 😂 That’s probably my favorite romantic comedy and that plot twist had me and my theatre howling!
Of course, my favorite though is, “No. I am your father”. That is arguably THE greatest twist in movie history.
YES!!!! Primal Fear absolutely had to be on this list. The ending still shocks me. I’ve recommended it to several friends and honestly I can’t recommend it enough. Amazing film and Edward Norton is brilliant!
But... Frailty, I absolutely agree is #1. That movie had me intrigued and engaged the entire time. I was completely thrown for a loop when I saw the ending. Such a great twist and I too recommend it to anyone I know. It is excellent!
I'm so glad you gave Frailty the recognition it deserves. I pride myself on typically predicting some aspects of a movie by the end but one movie that kept me guessing and guessing until the reveal to where my wife and I both screamed "WHAT?!" with chills was The Visit.
Frailty was a blind buy for me and wow when I finally popped it into the player I was floored! Such an amazing movie watch it when you have the time to really sit and watch it. Seven is probably one of my all time favorite movies, I thought there was more than one thing in the box don't want to spoil it for anyone whose not seen it.
Frailty is a Great movie
I friggin love Identity, don't get the hate, it made the whole film for me. Also loved The Prestige, Primal Fear but my fav jaw drop plot twist is Saw. Never saw it coming.
Yeah honestly I would’ve thought it was a generic slasher film without the brilliant ending. That made the whole movie worth it!
You put one of my favorite movies on the list, the impeccable taste Cody! Perks of Being a Wallflower shook me to my core when I watched it years back and then reading the twist is even more surprising!
I agree 100%! The actors, direction, plot, and music made this a cinematic masterpiece one won't soon forget after watching this coming of age story. The twist in the movie is taboo yet not talked about enough. The movie had the courage to do so. Logan mastered the role. Finally, and rip David Bowie..."HERO!"
I would put The Sixth Sense on the list. Probably one of the best twists ever. However, I went to the theater not knowing the twist. Plus it was right after I lost my Dad, so the twist and the scenes after really hit me emotionally. Great list!!!!!
When I first saw From Dusk Til Dawn, I had no clue the twist was happening halfway through the movie.
Also my vote for 1 would be the Empire Strikes Back twist.
I saw FDTD when I was 11 because my mom thought George Clooney was hot and wanted to see him after seeing the cover with him having tattoos! So we had no idea what was coming til it did. FUN TIMES 😂😂😂
''The Mist' was the most jarring twist ending I've ever seen.....
Also 'The Last American Virgin'...
All great choices! I saw Frailty when it came out in theaters, did not see it coming. Also Gone Baby Gone is a TREMENDOUS movie, Ed Harris’s performance being my favorite part!
I love your number one! Frailty is an amazing yet unknown movie to most. The plot twists are gut punch after gut punch. One of my all time favorite films by the late great Bill Paxton. Oh and Matthew McConaughey did a great job playing both rolls.
Shutter Island needed to be on the list. Great performance by Leo.
Agreed
That twist was so obvious
I love the list except the sleep away camp cause a gender reveal shouldn't be appropriate anymore imo
@@therealangelosettlerdifferent times still a great twist
@@VanityDivinedno it wasn’t

Identity is my favorite plot twist. I remember watching it and being blown away. Also Arlington Road is amazing and very underrated.
One of my favorite plot twist, personally, is the one in the horror film, "The Others".
I liked that one too.
The Others blew my mind when the twist was revealed. One of my favorite movies!!
That was good also
Good one
Similar one is The Orphanage, that is a gut punch twist
Thank you SO MUCH for including rudderless. First time in like a decade I’ve made a comment on a video but was so thrilled you brought up this movie.
WORST PLOT TWIST EVER dr sartain is the bad guy in halloween 2018 😂😂😂
YES!
I can think of a million different twists that were a lot worse

Brady Barrett a lot of people think it’s boring but I find it fascinating.
@@cleobinx if they find that movir boring wqtch the illusionist fucking trash
The Prestige is my favorite Nolan film and funny enough the first time I watched it was the when my highschool English teacher showed us it the last week of school.
Ooh Arlington Road, really underrated movie. I remember being very satisfied with myself for predicting where that one was going.
Fight Club. Fight Club. Fight Club.
Given Cody's age (about a year or two younger than me), that probably falls into the same category as Sixth Sense.

@@gnc623 I agree, I was judging it by the time it came out and the effectiveness it had at the time.
The problem with the Empire Strikes Back twist is that it's no longer a twist thanks to the prequels.
Love the list man. Gotta check out some of these. No love for The Departed? That has always been one of my personal favorites.
I wouldnt call that a twist in Departed just a shocking scene
Recently I saw "Adrift" and I was surprised by the twist near the end of the movie :)
Other movies with good plot twists: The Descent (2005), Shutter Island (2010), The Machinist (2004), Prisoners (2013), A Perfect Getaway (2009), Ransom (1996), Scream (1996), Planet Of The Apes (1968), etc.
Love the Machinist. Also love Scream
I loved A Perfect Getaway!
Coming back to this video since I originally had to skip to number 3. Just finished "Rudderless" due to your recommendation in this video. So glad I did. Great film Cody. Gonna start sharing it around also.
Ur Number 1 pick Frailty blew me AWAY! Its my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. #RIP #BillPaxton
My personal favorite plot twist is from For A Few Dollars More. It's surprisingly simple but so freaking effective. Plus that locket music gives me chills.
I absolutely love Frailty, but hardly anyone I know has seen it. I always reccomend it to my horror/thriller loving friends!!! Great list!!!
Dude, are you kidding me? The Usual Suspects didn't even make an honorable mention? It's the single greatest plot twist in movie history.
No... No it isnt
I’m surprised Shutter island isn’t on here that’s one of my favorite plot twist movies ever
Jake Kracinski that might be one that was ruined for him before he saw it, he did say the ones that weren’t spoiled for him were on top
Yeah, but it was predictable, I figured everything out half way through the movie.
You should watch Uninvited, bet you're gonna predict it, cause Shutter island is a replica of it, also Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher, Illusionist and that other one with Christian Bale that's the same shit

Great vid. 6 of your top 10 are actually on my list. Frailty is one of my all time favorites
Frailty.....great plot twists....stringing you along until the end and leaves you speechless and wanting to rewatch to see if you missed early signs of the twists....
The plot twist in "Identity" blew my mind, but the one from "Primal Fear" almost made me leave my house. Plus, come on....."Se7en" had to be on here.
Primal fear was quite predictable, i would have been happy if there was actually a third person
Cody,
I was hoping you had Primal Fear, Identity & Frailty on your list & u do! Awesome list!
I will be seeing Predistination, Rudderless & Lucky Number Slevin
You earned my like by having Lucky Number Slevin and Primal Fear, but if I could love this video, it would be for Frailty and my favorite movie ever, The Prestige. Thank you for not forgetting these wonderful movies!
Final Destination 5 should have been on the list at least Sam and Molly being on Flight 180 was a good surprise no one seen coming.
I totally agree.
Ok, fine! After near 1-2 weeks at watching your channel; I am a PATRON now! You got me, dear Cody! ! 🤯🤩
Man Cody.You have some of my all time faves on this list.Frailty being number 1 is awesome.
I agree with you about Arlington Road, both Joan Cusack and Tim Robbins are understatedly Evil, and so chilling.
Crazy stupid love hell yeah, I love that movie and that twist really got me. Yes then you talk about the perks of being a wallflower one of my favorite movies of the last decade and I love the book. Thanks for all the hard work, keep it up your videos are always great.
I watched "Frailty" because you recommended it and loved it!
Ben Clawson it’s so underrated , such a good movie and a twist I was not expecting
Yes love Frailty! I never knew anyone even knew about it until now
I just watched it for the first time! I am blown the fuck away. Masterpiece.
HEYitzED I just finished watching it today, and holy shit it was so good.
I love so many of these movies, and your videos remind me of movies I have forgotten to watch with my kiddos.
Memento is such a great twist. It’s probably one of my favorite movies of all time.
Good countdown! Great content, Cody! What's your top 5 hard rock/metal bands? I know Sully and Godsmack are somewhere in there.
Such a great video! Frailty, Primal Fear, identity, are some of my faves! Will definitely be checking out rudderless based on your recommendation. Will probably watch this again to find some other gems that I haven't seen yet
Great video man! A good blend of genres and some I didn’t expect :)
I really liked the plot twists in The Uninvited and Primal Fear and I didn't see The Prestige but the way you describe the plot twist it sounds like it's worth checking out.

I'm so glad Identity is #2, that movies twist hit me like no other movie had up to that point and still hasn't to this day!!
Great list, Cody. I would definitely choose Predestination as favorite WTF twist but Frailty was pretty insane too. I'm kinda glad that you didn't put everyone's favorite Usual Suspects in there but that's just me.
Lucky number slevin is fantastic, randomly chucked it on Netflix not knowing anything of it and I’m glad I did. Underrated for sure.
Great list and a lot of fun. I wondered early on if your number 2 was gonna make the list and I hadn't even thought of your number one which is a great and underrated movie. I recommend it all the time.
Great list, frailty and identity are my personal 2 favorite plot twist. Leading up to number 1 I was thinking where's frailty I didn't think it would be number 1 but it deserves to be
The ending to The Gift and what they were insinuating leaves you with a sickening feeling...so uneasy. Very good film.
You are legit the only guy who I have ever heard talk about Rudderless and on your recommendation I just finished watching it.
Out-goddamn-standing. Thank you for finding such a hidden gem!
Crazy Stupid Love is one of my all-time favorite movies. An excellent Cast, story and yes, the plot twist!
I had never heard of rudderless so thank you for making me interested in watching it. I just did and it was awesome. I wasn't THAT caught off guard regarding the twist just because as soon as they talked about a shooting I remembered We Need To Talk About Kevin, which touches the subject in a completely different way. great video(:
great taste in flix! glad i found your channel, man!
Your frailty review I think in one of your top 10 or 50 movies is what got me watching your channel cause it was such a good review made me want to check it out and loved it that being said can't wait to watch rudderless
Just watched this video and instantly watched Frailty after never hearing about it before. Well I LOVED IT. Thank you for that recommendation :)
Yay , I love “lucky number slevin” I haven’t seen it so long and I actually forgot the twist !
Dude, I just watched Frailty with my mom two weeks ago. She was completely blown away. I had already seen it before and you're right it is a great movie. But if I'm not mistaken, the people killed in the movie actually were supposed to be demons, even the older son which is why he is so rebellious toward the dad as the movie progresses and it which is also why he can't see the "people" as demons. My mom and I talked about the film after watching it and it seems that all the demons were killers.
I know, I had a hard time believing the father the whole movie (because of the narrative presented the whole time) and then at the end, it's like, "Damn, he was right all along." Great movie! Shocker ending.
I don't think I have seen one video from you that I didn't enjoy or agree with keep up the awesome work love your videos❤
I’m so happy you talk about Lucky Number Slevin!!!!! Such an amazing movie!!
Cody, Thank you so much for Not ruining the twist in the 2008 movie The Uninvited, as I just stayed up all night thru early a.m. watching it & feel it was a Good movie w/a Great & very Surprising twist ending!😧😊
Cody I LOVE your shirt!! One of my favorite films of all time. R.I.P Ricky!
O-Dogg is the man!
Jeff yessir!!
Wrong movie lol. O-Dog was in Menace II Society...another classic tho 😊
Salwa Shabazz hahaha tru. Ice cube was actually offered the role for O-Dogg but declined it.
@@salwashabazz7329 I was being silly. I knew that O-Dogg was in Menace, not Boyz. Both movies are great. I switch back and forth on which I like more.
The midway twist in Hard Candy was really well done
Watched Frailty today, it absolutely blew my mind bro! Holy cow, it was so well done!!!
Great list Cody! I love Frailty as well. Such a great film.
This is a great list. Here's my list:
1. The second act/ending of Mulholland Drive
2. Shutter Island
3. Incendies
4. The Sixth Sense
5. Blade Runner 2049
6. Knives Out
7. The Accountant (Brilliant/underrated film)
8. Gone Baby Gone
9. Fight Club
10. The Dark Knight Rises (Talia Al Ghul being the secondary villain. I love the reveal and her arc connects to Bruce and Bane in a great way)
Honorable mentions:
1. Frailty
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Lucky Number Slevin
4. Annihilation
5. Primal Fear
6. Ocean's Twelve (Underrated movie with a twist that reframes the story)
30:49 John Doe's one of the most evil film villains ever.
Thank you SO MUCH for recommending Rudderless. What a movie.
1. Empire Strikes Back (Turns the whole movie on its head)
2. Memento (remember first watching it and my jaw literally dropped at how much we were led to believe turned out to not be true.)
3. Sixth Sense (Again, I was so amazed at how Shamayalan was able to put that twist in there.)
4. Fight Club (The best schizophrenic twist in movie history)
5. Unbreakable (Gives me the chills every time)
6. Prestige (I like how the whole movie fits together)
7. Friday the 13th (I disregard that bullshit hospital scene, the movies ends with Jason pulling Alice into the water)
8. Se7en (Kevin Spacey’s whole plan is a twist, I can’t type it all out)
9. Us (That sent chills down my spine)
10. Gone Girl (Twists everything onto its head)
Dorito Chip Gamer The main thing with Us is now Jason knows the truth about his mother.
Dorito Chip Gamer Usual Suspects has a great plot twist. Every time I watch that movie I try to figure out how much of the story Verbal is telling the main cop is actually true and how much is a lie.
Empire strikes back has such an amazing twist but considering the twist itself is now a pop icon there’s no way you can leave the movie today astonished and amazed by the twist considering everyone knows it.
"Cause she's gone baby, Gone" one of my favorite lines in a movie
Love most of those films, especially Frailty. Some other great movie twists are: Psycho, The Mist, Don't Look Now, White Noise 2: The Light, Cemetery Man, The Fog, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, Get Out, Motel Hell, Final Destination 5 and Shutter Island.
One that always got me as a kid was Judge Doom being revealed to be a toon in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Like Sleepaway Camp, the twist wasn't who the villain was, but WHAT the villain was.
Oh yes, Sleepaway Camp... lmao, no kidding, I was so young and naive when I saw this film for the first time, I didn't really understand what was going on in that last scene. But when I saw it a few years later again, my mouth just dropped.
Thank you for mentioning Frailty. The whole video i was hoping to see it. I got down to #3, and im preparing to comment that it should've been on your list. Then boom, #1 ❤
I know it's been said to death, but when I first watch scream upon it's release, that blew my mind at the time. I thought the Last Exorcism had a great twist as well. Good list Cody.
I've been watching you videos for a while but for some reason 4 year old videos of yours keep popping up on my feed. That being said, lucky number sleven is such an underrated movie it sickens me. I'm glad this popped up.
Underrated gem from Bill Paxton A Simple Plan which was done by Michigan's Legendary director Sam Rami
My favorite movie twists
Ghost (1990) - Sam Wheat finding out that Carl Bruner and Willy Lopez are working together
Hot Fuzz (2007) the NWA reveal
Scream (1996) Billy Loomis and Stu Macher
Knives Out (2019) Ransom Thrombey
Wreck It Ralph (2012) Turbo reveal
Unbreakable (2000) Samuel L. Jackson twist
I actually just bought Memento. Looking forward to checking it out sometime this week.
Locarbmonster it’s one of my all time favourites. Come back and let us know what you think of it.
Sure man
Cody you been killien it dude. Ur Killen the Horror game.. Good Work!!
Hey you should do more Live Commentaries while watching a movie of your choice. Give people a heads up and Give the people what they want.. Hidden Gem Live Commentaries with you and CP.. !!!!
Your the man brah lol
I understand that "Fight Club"s plot twist is too well know now, but that was the most impactful plot twist of any movie I had ever watched.
GOOD CALL! "Frailty" is amazing. It just keeps on going with twist after twist after twist. Within 2 minutes my jaw basically dug a hole to Australia.
I mean until the last few minutes, it was a great movie. Extremely harrowing with great performances and beautifully shot. But the ending knocked my socks off. I usually can see twists coming, but Holy F! This flick relentlessly turned it on its head in a manner that is insane.
I recently showed it to my BF who was raised in a very religious (Catholic) family and he was not a fan of the ending, since he had hoped that it would be open-ended and leave the rest to the audience. I disagree with his opinion, but get where he's coming from.
(I would give a shout-out to "Fight Club", "Wild Things" and "Orphan".)
The Visit, Get Out, Shutter Island, Us, Prisoners and Fight Club. My personal favorites
Love the Crazy Stupid Love mention. Because of the genre, never expected that twist!
