There are few better feelings than sitting in a movie and realizing that you have figured out the plot twist.  I’m not talking about walking into a romantic comedy and knowing that the marquee names are going to wind up together; I’m talking about having a revelation that you have discovered a surprising direction that the movie will take.

I have a few that I am very proud of.  I called the ending of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” within the first five minutes, which is probably the one I take the most pride in.

I called “Gran Torino” within 30 minutes as well as “Get Smart” within the first 20 minutes.  Other than that, I can’t remember anything else in the recent past.

Any twists that you are particularly proud of calling WITHOUT SHARING THE TWIST ITSELF?  Don’t go ruining “The Sixth Sense” for anyone.

Righteous Kill withing 5 minutes, but to be fair that movie was obvious.

I never have 😦 However, going in to see “Shutter Island” I knew what was going to happen because I read the book, but my friend called the ending within the first 20 minuets.

However, on another note, I watched “Eternal Sunshine…” recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.
