The Top Five Craziest Twist Endings in Movie History

In the tradition of ScreenCrush series like You Think You Know Movies and You Think You Know TV comes a brand new YouTube series: Top Five! Each week (or so; we’ve got a lot of other stuff going on), ScreenCrush editor and critic Matt Singer will count down a particular topic from the world of movies (and probably write these introductory posts in the third person).

You never saw the latest episode of Top Five coming! That’s right; this week, Matt dives deep into the world of twist endings, and ranks some of the head-scratchingly craziest ever presented in the history of movies. No dead Bruce Willises or destroyed Statues of Liberty here; only the most inappropriate or flat-out inexplicable twist endings need apply. It’s the best episode of Top Five yet — or is it?!? 

(I mean, we think it is. But that’s really for you to decide.)

Top Five is a new ScreenCrush original series that ranks all kinds of cool stuff from the world of movies. This is our sixth episode, but we’re just getting started! Check out some of our past episodes below, and enjoy some of the best installments of our sister series, You Think You Know Movies. Plus, we want your feedback, so be sure to let us know what Top Fives you want to see in future episodes! And don’t forget to subscribe to the ScreenCrush YouTube channel below to catch all our future episodes. In a shocking twist, the next Top Five will just be the full Chris Rock movie.
