The Sixth Sense, if you can go into it blind. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out a movie's plot twist, but this one caught me completely by surprise. Then when you watch it again you pick up on all the dropped hints.

I was fortunate enough to see this one in theaters. Had no clues. Great reveal. It would really ruin it to know the twist going in.

What’s great, though, is that knowing the twist doesn’t ruin it. It’s worth a rewatch anyway.

I had it spoiled for me about 30 min before I went to the theater to see it by a coworker. I never forgave him.

That sucks. It’s still a good movie, but that was before everyone expected a twist out of m night shyamalan

[–] Draghetta@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I have never watched it and probably never will- I’m sure it’s a great movie but the twist is one of the most spoiled in internet history :(

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, it is a twenty-five-year-old movie. That's a long time to keep anything unspoiled.

It was spoiled at the time. I think I was six months late in seeing it and knew the twist. Not 100%, but enough that it completely ruined it.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It's a very solid movie, and worth watching, even knowing the twist

[–] mdhughes@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I recognized the twist at a certain conversation early in the movie. It's not really hidden, or at least not well.

It was my first movie by shamalama and i didn't see the twist cuz i didn't expect a twist. Every movie he did after i knew one was coming and they it was easy to catch the signs...badump pssh

Just watched this tonight for my 12 year old son, coincidentally. He loved the twist!

[–] miridius@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I figured out the twist within like the first 5 minutes of my first watch (nobody spoiled it for me, but I knew that there would be a twist and was looking for one) and it made the movie pretty boring imo
