The ones you really didn't see coming. Not cheap "Gotchas" or deus ex machina, but legitimately shocking or amazing or simply glorious turns of events.
Shocking: The Sixth Sense
Amazing:The Usual Suspects
Simply glorious: the original "usual suspects" Casablanca.
And a very unsettling one: Eastern Promises, when you realize just how deep " Deep undercover" can be.

The dinner party in "Where Eagles Dare".

Memento. That was a weird movie to watch.
Didn't see it coming: No Way Out - "We thought we'd never see you again."
no one sees what's written on the spine of his own autobiography.
