Put the items in your preferred order.

The Sixth Sense (1999)
M. Night Shyamalan's masterpiece had audiences rushing back to the cinema just to rewatch every scene with fresh eyes. Bruce Willis's performance hits completely differently once you know the truth.

Fight Club (1999)
David Fincher's cult classic pulled off one of cinema's most mind-bending reveals, reframing an entire film in a single moment. The first rule of Fight Club is apparently also to not talk about how obvious the clues were.

Psycho (1960)
Hitchcock's audacious decision to kill his apparent lead character halfway through left 1960 audiences in genuine shock. It rewrote the rulebook on what a thriller could even be.

The Usual Suspects (1995)
Bryan Singer's neo-noir thriller builds to one of the most celebrated reveals in film history, as Verbal Kint's slow walk becomes one of cinema's most iconic final shots. Who is Keyser SΓΆze? Exactly.

Parasite (2019)
Bong Joon-ho's Palme d'Or and Oscar winner pivots from sharp class satire into something far darker with a reveal that genuinely no one saw coming. It earned every single one of those awards.

Gone Girl (2014)
David Fincher strikes again with Gillian Flynn's adaptation, flipping the script on what looked like a missing persons thriller into something far more sinister. Rosamund Pike's performance is absolutely chilling.

Oldboy (2003)
Park Chan-wook's South Korean thriller delivers a twist so deeply disturbing it's hard to talk about without spoiling β and even harder to unsee. Not one for a cosy Sunday afternoon watch.

Memento (2000)
Christopher Nolan's reverse-chronology thriller slowly reveals that Leonard may not be the reliable narrator we've been trusting at all. Rewatching it is practically a different film entirely.
