Angel Heart
Thirteenth Floor
Butterfly Effect
The Prestige
Sixth Sense
Etc.

Can any of y'all suggest other good ones?

"Identity" with John Cusak is a good one too.

Rick, Dr D suggested Frailty and Blood Simple. If you haven't seen them, those are excellent examples of what you are looking for. Frailty has become one of my all time favorites for one of the greatest plot twists I have seen.

Other ones that come to mind (I am listing some oldies here as well):
Lone Star (Chris Cooper, Elizabeth Pena) This is one of my favorite movies. GREAT plot twist at the end.
Memento Guy Pierce
Children of Men Clive Owen
The Illusionist Edward Norton (not one of my favorites but decent
Don't Look Now Donald Sutherland, Julie Christie
Sea of Love (Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin)
The Others Nicole Kidman
The Swimmer Burt Lancaster
Vertigo Jimmy Stewart (excellent Hitchcock)
Soylent Green Charleton Heston, Edward G Robinson
Primal Fear Richard Gere, Ed Norton
The Name of the Rose Sean Connery (not suspenseful but very interesting time period murder/detective work set in a 16th century ?(can't remember date) abbey.
The Crying Game Stephen Rea
House of Games Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mantegna
L.A Confidential Russell Crowe, Kim Basinger, et al...
Chinatown Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway

Oh boy, there are many more but those should keep you busy for a while. I didn't mention "Psycho" with Anthony Perkins because I assumed you have seen it.

Thanks, folks! Lots to check out for the holidays... Sounds like Frailty is one to check out. I did see Blood Simple long ago...

Children of Men, The Illusionist, Chinatown and Crying Game bored me to tears

House of Games was AWESOME! That one was by Manet. All his movies are great.

As for the Other...the original was much better in my opinion.

LOL Rick. I actually didn't like the House of Games. LOL. Yes, the Illusionist was not one of the best and Children of Men wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Chinatown? Bored you to tears? Oh my. I love that movie when it came out. Maybe if I saw it again, I might change my opinion. It has been a while. The Crying Game I think may be considered a better movie by women than men. Well, I was trying to give you a list of movies that had good twists in them. If you haven't seen "Lone Star" or Dr D's suggestion of "Frailty", watch them. I would love to know what you think of them. They are favorites of mine. You should probably avoid "The Swimmer". Great twist but there isn't a lot of action and it can take some patience to get through it.
