The one that comes to mind tonight for a movie - The Sixth Sense.
For TV, it was with out a doubt the ending last show of "Newhart". It ran 184 episodes staring Bob Newhart and Mary Frann. (1982-1990)
You would have to have watched the "Bob Newhart" show that ran from 1972-1978 to appreciate the ending "Newhart show" in 1990
Same here....sixth sense for sure. Got to share it with my 19 year old step daughter. She usually has movies figured out halfway through. She never saw this one coming.
Sixth Sense caught me off guard as well....
Slevin almost did....
Newhart was a great ending that no one saw coming.... It was a great ending and for the day (pre inter web) worked out great.... Nowadays it all gets leaked out one way of another.
Watch ‘The Lobster’ on Netflix. It is pretty much a completely pointless movie, but it sucked me in just because I wanted to see what was going to happen. The ending had me squirming on the couch.
Sixth Sense definitely up there. Two other great movies that also had twists were, Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson and Primal Fear starring Richard “the gerbil lovin” Gere.
