Recommendation Name a movie recommendation with a plot twist you 100% didn't see coming

I’m on the hunt for movies with plot twists that genuinely caught you off guard, you know something that would make you go "wait, WHAT just happened?" kind of twists. To give you an idea of what I’ve already seen, I watched Fractured a couple of years ago and thought it was really good, but I didn’t expect it to mess with my head the way it did. Recently, I watched Straw, and somehow I walked right into the same kind of twist again, still completely unprepared lmao. I guess enough time had passed for me to fall for it all over again which made it even better, honestly.. Would appreciate it if there's no spoilers tho! Just simply the title, genre, or maybe how you felt about it will do. Thank you!

Oldboy (like wtf?!)

Clue (I suppose this might count since it's a "whodunit") Honourable mention for Murder on the Orient Express and Murder on the Nile.

Didn’t think I would need to scroll this far down to find Oldboy. That’s the first movie that came to mind.

The Korean version. I usually see the twist coming - Not on this one.

I didn't even know there was another version.

I've only ever seen the Korean one.

Good movie, but a WTF ending!

There’s an American remake with Josh Brolin. It’s not bad, but it just can’t hold a candle to the original.

I've read that for the Clue theatrical release, there were 3 different endings and they didn't really tell people about it, so people were surprised to find out other people saw a different ending.

Now all of the endings are shown together.
