Movie with the most shocking ending

Is there any movie which stands out to you for having a truly shocking ending? I will say Empire Strikes Back just due to seeing it when I was young and the effect it had of knowing they were father and son. Any others come to mind?

The Mist the ending was messed up

Se7en had a messed up ending, tho i wouldn't call it shocking.

1. Planet of The Apes(1968)
2. The Mist
3. The Prestige
4. Seven
5. Captain America: Civil War
6. The Departed
7. Arrival
8. Fight Club
9. Pyscho
10. Shutter Island

Those are some good choices. I bolded the ones I most agree with though with Psycho I think most people alive now would have already known the ending before watching it. The Wickerman might be another good choice as well as To Live and Die in LA given when they were made.

• Thanks
• And about Pyscho....Thats not necessarily true, i was about 10 or 11 when i first saw Psycho(Nearly 50 years after the movie came out)..And i was honest to god surprised by the ending...It wasn't like The ending of Empire Strikes Back which i saw coming a mile away when i first saw it around the same time i saw Psycho
• But then again you may have a point becuase that was a few years before Bates Motel came out so id assume things may have changed a Little...Which would be a damn shame because Psycho only works if you arent aware of the killers identity.

• The Sixth Sense
• Dogville
• The Others
• The Illusionist
• Orphan (2009)
• The Skeleton Key
• Donnie Darko

Shutter Island is the first that comes to mind it confused the hell outta me

Pretty good list, I'll add:

• 12 Monkeys
• Fargo
• The Sixth Sense
• The Village
• Usual Suspect (probably my favorit movie and the best final scene every)

Memento.

Usual Suspects

I can't possibly take this list seriously with Captain America: Civil War in there...

• Really? Are we playing high brow film snob game?
• I mean this isn't AFIs top ten greatest films of all time its a list about Shocking endings..And honest to god, when i first saw Civil War that ending where it was reveled Bucky killed Stark's parents shocked the shit out of me...Maybe its placed a little to high on the list(Fight Clubs twist ending was admittedly more shocking) but it definitely deserves to be there for me personally.

The Usual Suspects for me. One of the few that was a true surprise.

Devil Within

shutter island

i have to see the sixth sense already

No country for old men.

POTA, Psycho, Brother bear.

Surprised no one has mentioned Jacob's Ladder.

not really hugely shocking but the first time I watched a Final Destination movie the whole surprise death at the end was shocking.

Also the Dawn of the Dead remake is a good one with the getting to the island and it is full of zombies and the main guy ending up having been bit.

The Happening is really shocking because you'd expect some twisted ending from M Night Shyamalan, but nothing happened.

Soylent Green

Sleepaway Camp.

Original Planet of The Apes had a sick ending

@jumpstart55: as soon as the topic is about movies or music, snobs slowly come out of the cracks and will let you know why you are wrong lol

Donnie Darko

They revealed pretty early in the movie when they showed the Winter Soldier causing a car crash and then showed Stark talking about how his parents died in a car crash...at least I figured it out immediatly, didn't even considered it a twist, I thought it was supposed to be figured out by the viewers early on.

Brazil

Jacob's Ladder

No Way Out

Chinatown

The Grifters

Memento

Plus several already mentioned above in other posts.

The Departed

Split

This is what I was thinking instantly.

Also I catch on to movies really fast and can guesstamate what is going to happen. My wife annoyingly always ask me questions during the movie. There is one movie I never caught on until the end, Sixth Sense. I am like "OMGosh he's a ghost" to my wife near the end of the movie. She's like "yeah I figured that out in the first 15 minutes." Took me a long time to live that down. I was just enthralled in the movie and wasn't figuring it out.

Oculus.

The Ring

Hollywoodland.

@Manchine: @Manchine: Same thing happened to me too

@ouroborik: You could be right..Maybe it was meant to be figured out...And admittedly I did miss the first 10 minutes of Civil War the first time I saw it in the theaters..So maybe thats why I was more shocked then the average bear..But it still shocked the shit out of me.

1.The Usual Suspects

2.The Prestige

3. Arrival

Fight Club for me.

Sixth sense

Identity

Shutter Island

The Vault

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

It's not "shocking", but it was definitely unexpected. And it was great because it the ending was staring you right in the face from the very beginning.

The Usual Suspects.

Whiplash (isn't shocking in the traditional sense but it was sensational)

Shutter Island and others people have mentioned here.

Fight Club and others like it.

• Memento
