8 "Great" Movies You Actually Only Remember For The Plot Twist

What People Remember About The Movie: "Oh, yeah, so this was Fincher's first film after Se7en and, like, nowhere near as good. Michael Douglas plays an as*hole in this, that I do recall. Weird stuff starts happening to him, and then we find out that it was all a game to make him less of an as*hole. Right?"

David Fincher followed what is perhaps his greatest film, Se7en, with The Game, a paranoid thriller that is so clinical in its execution that a trip to a fridge shop would prove to be a less chilling experience.

The Game's big plot twist tells us that everything that happens is the result of an elaborate, pre-planned scheme designed to make Michael Douglas's jerky millionaire more appreciative of his existence. But what actually happens across the film's whopping 128 minute runtime, before Douglas arrives at his birthday party at the end and discovers that his brother - played by Sean Penn - was responsible?

The vague and puzzle-like nature of The Game doesn't make it memorable; it simply ensures that you don't recall any of what occurs. There's a love interest character in this film, played by Deborah Kara Unger, but trying to remember what purpose she serves or how she fits into the story... well, good luck with that.
