There you are, sitting comfortably watching a film, safe in the knowledge that you know what's going on and then someone pulls the rug out from under you and suddenly you're as confused as a member of the N.R.A. Your viewing pleasure much dependent on whether you've just witnessed a good twist, a bad twist or a so incredibly ugly-it-must-be-inbred twist. Since long before Mr & Mrs Shyamalan got drunk and decided to 'risk it' twists have been used as story telling devices. They can either make us see everything in the movie through eyes anew with a deft sleight of hand or, with a heavier touch, have you unintentionally laughing out loud, rolling your eyes in utter disbelief or crying tears of anger into your popcorn. This is a celebration of the 20 most ridiculous twists of all time. Those that left you shocked or appalled, whether successful or Guatemalan insanity pepper crazy...warning: Spoilers.
