  David Fincher's 1999 postmodern classic about the perils of consumerism and the feminization of the American male has shocked and horrified audiences perhaps more than any film in past 25 years. Our narrator (Ed Norton) meets a macho male named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who is intent on blowing up the world in order to start over. The hard-to-believe plot twist (that you actually should've seen coming) is that the narrator suffers from dissociative identity disorder.

  He and Tyler are actually the same person. Mind blown, literally, the narrator shoots himself in the face at the end of the movie in order to kill Tyler.

  Director David Fincher loves his plot twists. In the 1997 twisty psychological thriller The Game, Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) is a loner obsessed with his finance career. His brother Conrad (Sean Penn) buys him a ticket to play a game with a company called Consumer Recreation Services. However, the experience becomes more than just a game. Nicholas's whole life gets turned upside down, and he nearly loses everything.

  It's revealed after Nicholas jumps out of a window because he thinks that he killed his brother, that it actually all was just an elaborate game that Conrad set up, to make sure that Nicholas doesn't wind up like their father who committed suicide.
