Random Factoid #274

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.
