7 best twist endings of all time
What makes a successful twist ending? First of all, it has to surprise the audience. If you somehow guess the twist before it happens, then the movie failed to do its job. Furthermore, the twist has to make sense. Movies like 'Serenity' and 'Remember Me' featured shocking endings that did not belong. These twists ruined, not helped, the story. This month, 'The Usual Suspects' celebrates its 30th anniversary. The final twist in the Oscar-winning thriller is still one of the best in cinematic history. Where does it rank among all-time twist endings? Let's find out. 'It was clear whoever got that role was going to blow up,' Matt Damon said about auditioning for the 1996 legal thriller, 'Primal Fear.' The role in question was for Aaron Stampler, a stuttering boy accused of murdering the archbishop of Chicago. Edward Norton won the coveted part and, like Damon predicted, blew up, culminating in an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. There's no proof as to what moment secured Norton the critical acclaim; the best guess is that it happened during the film's final moments. After a not guilty verdict, Aaron reveals he faked an alternate personality to get away with murder. Richard Gere's stunned look speaks for everyone in that moment. Watch on Paramount Plus If you listen closely, you might still hear Charlton Heston's scream at the end of 'Planet of the Apes.' In the distant future, astronaut George Taylor (Heston) and his crew crash-land on an unknown planet where apes are the dominant species. On this planet, apes can talk and think like people, while humans are mute and primitive. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The makeup and philosophical themes have stood the test of time and even spawned an entire franchise that still exists today. However, the ending remains the film's lasting legacy. Taylor learning that the planet he landed on is Earth in the future remains a stroke of genius and a shocking conclusion to a revolutionary film. Rent/buy on Amazon or Apple Imagine being a child in 1980 and seeing 'The Empire Strikes Back.' After George Lucas opened your world to the wonder of a space opera in 'Star Wars,' you then learned that Darth Vader, one of the three most famous villains in cinematic history, was the father of Luke Skywalker. In today's Hollywood, twists are spoiled within minutes of the embargo lifting. But 45 years ago, you had to sit on that cliffhanger for three years before the trilogy wrapped in 1983's 'Return of the Jedi.' If this list consisted of misquoted lines in movie history, 'The Empire Strikes Back' might occupy the top spot. As much fun as it is to say, 'Luke, I am your father,' the correct reciting of Darth Vader's line reads, 'No, I am your father.' Watch on Disney Plus From a critical standpoint, 'Psycho' is on the shortlist of most influential horror movies ever produced. Alfred Hitchcock's mystery centers around Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a real estate secretary who, after stealing money from her employer, flees Phoenix for California. Due to heavy rain, Marion stops for the night at the Bates Motel, where she meets a peculiar proprietor, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). Hitchcock solidified his 'Master of Suspense' title thanks to his revolutionary camerawork and haunting score. The tale also included two twists. The first occurs during a stabbing in the shower. The final twist happens near the end, when Norman, not his mother, is revealed to be the killer. Norman's sadistic smile will be ingrained in your memory. Rent/buy on Amazon or Apple The first rule of Fight Club: Do not talk about Fight Club. Apologies to Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, but we have to break the first rule for good reason. David Fincher's crime drama follows the journeys of the unnamed Narrator (Norton) and soap salesman Tyler Durden (Pitt) as they form an underground fight club. The club attracts depressed men looking for excitement in their lives. Eventually, the club transitions into Project Mayhem, an anarchist movement to disrupt the social order through acts of violence and vandalism. The Narrator disapproves of Tyler's methods until he realizes — and here's the twist — that Tyler is his alter ego. The second rule of Fight Club should be: Don't talk about the twist unless your job requires you to make a list about twist endings. Watch on Hulu The movie that inspired the list has to be near the top. For nearly the entire 106-minute runtime of 'The Usual Suspects,' Agent Dave Kujan (and the audience) attempted to identify the criminal mastermind known as Keyser Söze. Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey) led us to believe Keyser Söze was Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne). Then, Kujan drops the coffee cup as the details from the random flyers jump off the wall. Keyser Söze was none other than Verbal Kint, and the moment his limp disappears remains one of cinema's most iconic images of the last 30 years. Watch on Prime Video The biggest strength of 'The Sixth Sense' is its twist ending. It also happens to be the film's greatest weakness. 'The Sixth Sense' relies on its twist more than any other movie on this list. It's hard to enjoy M. Night Shyamalan's psychological thriller and pretend like the reveal isn't coming. The twist is all you can think about, which hurts the movie's rewatchability. Nevertheless, learning that Malcolm (Bruce Willis) had been dead the entire time was jaw-dropping. It changed the trajectory of Shyamalan's career and became the new standard for twist endings.

THE RAINMAKER Series Premiere Recap: (S01E01) Another Rainy Day
It's been a minute since a good legal drama had my attention. With The Rainmaker , USA Network does again what it once did best: quickly and deeply engage the audience with a cast of clearly drawn characters they immediately root for, root against, or wish they could take out for coffee and a donut. Despite sharing a title with the 1997 Matt Damon film, the series sets out to build more intrigue, backstory, and relationships with its 10 episodes. The premiere, 'Another Rainy Day,' immediately establishes Rudy Baylor's (Milo Callaghan) character, motivation, and abilities. Through his interactions with girlfriend Sarah Plankmore (Madison Iseman), brief boss Leo F. Drummond (John Slattery), and new boss Jocelyn 'Bruiser' Stone (Lana Parrilla), we know exactly where his lines in the sand are drawn. There's a helluva storm brewing for The Rainmaker. Best to batten your hatches now. Photo by: USA Network The Rainmaker, 'Another Rainy Day' In the middle of the night, a fire breaks out in the living room of a house. A man sleeping upstairs hooked up to an oxygen tank labelled North City General Hospital and Medical Care, wakes up coughing from the smoke. He tries to get to his mother in the next bedroom, but a burning beam falls between them. He screams at her to wake up, then fights his way out of the house and falls to his knees, struggling to breathe. RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 At a free legal clinic run by Ashley Cooper Law School students, Rudy chats with a woman about her will while Sarah discusses a case with Dot Black (Karen Bryson) involving her son's death. Mrs. Black believes the hospital, North City General, where her son Donny supposedly died of the flu, is guilty of killing him. She filed a negligence lawsuit against the hospital. When Rudy sits down to review the lawsuit, Sarah points out that the hospital is represented by Tinley Britt. When Mrs. Black mentions that Tinley Britt offered to settle with her for $50,000, despite having a motion to dismiss pending, she catches Rudy's attention. Sarah explains that she and Rudy aren't real lawyers yet, and because they're going to be working at Tinley Britt, there would be a conflict of interest. Mrs. Black leaves, determined to make North City General and Tinley Britt pay for her son's death. She walks out carrying an old banker's box labeled 'Donny Ray' in black marker. Ready for the Rest of Their Lives That night, Sarah sings along with fellow Ashley Cooper students to the music at Yogi's, a busy pub. Rudy's behind the bar. His boss, Prince (Tommie Earl Jenkins), comes through to grab some cash. Sarah reminds Prince that Rudy's leaving this life behind with his new position at Tinley Britt. Prince reminds her that for this last night, Rudy's still a bartender. Then he buys them a round of shots. The Rainmaker — Photo by: Christopher Barr/USA Network In the morning, Rudy wakes up alone in his bed. A text from Sarah says she went home to change and will see him at work. Through his window, he sees a man working on a truck in the driveway. When he's dressed, he finds a token for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in the suit pocket. His mother, Mary (Ali White), is dusting in his late brother, John's, room. She tells him that John wanted to quit law school, but their father, also deceased now, wouldn't let him. Rudy's wearing John's suit for his first day of work. RELATED: Read our Resident Alien recaps When his mother says her boyfriend, Hank (Bruno Gunn), wants her to get rid of John's stuff so he can turn the room into a gym, Rudy reminds her that this is her house. He confronts Hank, and they fight. Rudy lands the first punch, but Hank splits his lip, leaving blood on his suit collar and shirt. When Rudy's mother comes out to break them up, Hank jumps in his truck and drives off. She tells Rudy that he has to move out. He tells her he's already looking for a place, but now he's late and has to go. She notices the blood and asks if he should change first. He points out it's the only suit he has and leaves. Tinley Britt Sarah texts Rudy, 'WHERE ARE YOU?' as she joins the other junior associates for Tinley Britt's orientation. In the conference room, she saves him a seat. Leo F. Drummond enters, intoning, 'I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have set a punishment like me upon you.' Attributing it to Genghis Khan, he says the warrior would've been a great litigator. As he begins quizzing the new associates about courtroom law, Rudy slips in the door and sits down next to Sarah. The Rainmaker — Photo by: Christopher Barr/USA Network Drummond zeroes in on Rudy and puts him on the spot. Rudy pushes back. Sarah whispers that he shouldn't argue with Drummond. Drummond keeps pushing. Sarah keeps indicating that he should back down. Rudy dives in. Drummond isn't impressed and calls on Sarah to refute Rudy's argument. She does, summarily. When Rudy effectively counters Drummond with Drummond's own words, Brad Noonan (Wade Briggs), a senior associate, sitting at the front, looks impressed. Drummond and Noonan leave the room. Fired Sarah meets Rudy at the elevators after he's been fired. Quoting her father, she tells him the flip side of everyone's best quality is their worst, and Rudy's is that he never backs away from a fight on both counts. She says she'll talk to Leo and get him his job back. Rudy refuses to let her get pulled down by his bad judgment. She heads up the glass-walled elevator, watching him walk down the street below her as she rises. (Heavy-handed metaphor, but it works.) RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Returning to the bar, Rudy starts calling other law firms to see if he can secure another position. No luck. When Rudy tells Prince what happened, Prince tells Rudy he might have a lead on a law firm that might hire him. Bruiser and Associates He takes him to an old Taco Hut restaurant. The marquee reads 'J. LYMAN STONE AND ASSOCIATES, NO FEE UNLESS $$$YOU WIN$$$' and there's a drive-thru sign below it. Prince tells him Bruiser's the best lawyer he knows. He leads Rudy inside and introduces him to Voreen (Megan McDonnell), the receptionist, who directs them into the office. The Rainmaker — Photo by: Jonathan Hession/USA Network In the office, Rudy mistakes Deck Shifflet (P.J. Byrne) for Bruiser. Jocelyn Stone, aka Bruiser, comes to her door and introduces Deck as their 'para-lawyer' because he went to law school but has failed the bar exam seven times. RELATED: Revival : Co-Creators Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce on Crafting 'Weird' New Series Bruiser explains that associates get $2000 a month, and he keeps a third of the fees he generates. If he doesn't cover the $2000 with his share, he owes her the balance. Bruiser diagnoses his situation: He got screwed on the wrong side of hiring season, and now he's pissed. She advises that he'll make good use of that anger to help represent their clients, people they're meeting on the worst day of their lives. Once Rudy's resigned to signing up, he asks for a $20,000 advance to rent an apartment. Bruiser counters with $5,000 and tells him that he starts on Monday. Finders, Grinders, and Minder In the Tinley Britt corporate box, VIP guests mingle and watch tennis. Sarah's standing by the food when Wilfred Keeley (Hugh Quarshie), the CEO of Great Benefit Hospital Systems, walks over, looking for a hot dog. She shows him where they are, addressing him by name. He asks if they've met. She tells him that Great Benefit is one of Tinley Britt's most important clients and introduces herself. When she attempts to help him with a hot dog, she drops it and quotes the opening line from Susan Mallery's novel, Only Yours, 'Perfectly good morning, thwarted by a hot dog,' confusing Keeley. She explains that she remembers the first line of every book she's ever read. He tests her with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany , which she aces. As she's showing off her party trick, Noonan approaches from behind her. Keeley asks Noonan if she's on his account. Noonan tries to tell him she's not even a lawyer yet, but Drummond is suddenly next to him, confirming that Sarah's on the Great Benefit account. The Rainmaker — Photo by: Christopher Barr/USA Network Noonan and Keeley move away to talk. Drummond steps closer to Sarah and tells her about finders, who bring in clients; grinders, who do the writing and research; and minders, who keep everyone out of trouble. He tells her he's wondering which she is. RELATED: Revival 's Romy Weltman on Becoming Em and Working With Melanie Scrofano Moving Out and Onwards Sarah helps Rudy move into his new apartment. She asks why they aren't moving in together. He replies that they've never discussed it. When she tries to discuss it, he states that he won't let her parents pay his rent via her trust fund. On Monday morning, Rudy arrives at Bruiser's office. She tells him he needs to find some clients ASAP and sends him out with Deck. They arrive at the hospital, and Deck pays a doctor for information about the patient in room 886, a man hit by a drunk driver. At Tinley Britt, Leo Drummond sits at a table about to eat a cheeseburger and fries. Sarah arrives, and he tells her that she should watch and learn while she's on the Great Benefit team. She makes a pitch to get Rudy his job back. In response, Drummond deliberately drops a French fry on the ground. Sarah picks it up and puts it in the trash. He does it again. And a third time. When she asks him why he's doing it, he explains he's defining their relationship. He dismisses her. A Natural Deck approaches a badly injured man lying in a medical bed, whispering his name to wake him up. Deck hits him with a high-pressure pitch to get him to sign them as his representation. The patient wants to wait for his wife. Rudy steps in as the conversation gets heated and offers to help in more reassuring, slightly humorous tones. The patient smiles at Rudy and nods his assent. With Deck's pen, the man signs the contract.

A man approaches him and calls him Melvin Pritcher (Dan Fogler). He introduces himself as Rod Nunley (Jonathan Forbes) and offers to help him out.

The scene shifts to a woman vaping as she watches Rudy standing outside the Charleston Police Department from her car. Deck comes out and reports that Pritcher made bail.

Steve Jobs' first Silicon Valley boss turned down an offer to buy a third of Apple for $50,000—today, his share would be worth nearly $1 trillion
Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell turned down his former employee, the late Steve Jobs, when he was offered to buy a third of Apple for $50,000 in the 1970s. With the iPhone titan now standing at $3.1 trillion, the video gaming pioneer missed out on making $1 trillion from his relatively small investment. But he isn't troubling himself with regret, reasoning he might not be as happy—and Apple may not have been as successful—if he accepted the deal. Many people may be kicking themselves for not buying Bitcoin or investing in Nvidia stock sooner—but few will have missed out on a bigger deal than Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell, the first Silicon Valley boss of the late Steve Jobs. A young Jobs offered the gaming mogul an eye-popping deal: buy a third of Apple for just $50,000. What might come as a shock to many is that Bushnell turned it down. Apple has since grown into a $3.1 billion sensation with over a billion iPhones sitting in people's back pockets, and over 100 million Mac users worldwide—and if Bushnell had taken the deal, his cut would have made him $1 trillion today. But Bushnell isn't crying over the missed opportunity Bushnell first witnessed Jobs' potential as a businessman in the 1970s, when the college dropout joined Atari as a technician and games designer before moving into entrepreneurship. Jobs was an essential engineer 'solving problems in the field' at Atari, Bushnell recalled, but his leadership mentality also meant some tension at the office. The Atari cofounder strategically employed Jobs during nightshifts, knowing that Wozniak would also join and help out on projects like the brick-breaking game 'Breakout.' But Jobs would also barge into his office to tell Bushnell that the other employees weren't good at soldering, offering to instruct them. Bushnell recognized that Jobs was a genius—albiet, a complicated one. 'He was a difficult person,' Bushnell told ABC News in 2015. 'He was very smart. Often he was the smartest person in the room, and he would tell everybody that. It's generally not a good social dynamic.' But years later, the tech pioneer isn't quietly simmering over his choice to reject the offer. 'I could have owned a third of Apple computer for $50,000, and I turned it down,' Bushnell said in the interview. 'I've got a wonderful family, I've got a great wife, my life is wonderful. I'm not sure that if I had been uber, uber, uber rich that I'd have had all of that.' In fact, Bushnell even thinks Apple may not have been so successful if he had taken the deal. And his potential payout may not have soared to that trillion-dollar height. 'I'm still an Apple fan and you know I think that hindsight is 20/20,' he told Tech Radar in 2013, when asked about his decision to say no. 'I can go through a thread very easily which, by me turning Steve down led to me introducing him to Don Valentine, and he introduced him to Mike Markkula who is as responsible for Apple's success as Steve Woz[niak] and Jobs.' He's not the first tech boss to have missed out on billions Bushnell isn't the only one who missed out on critical business opportunities that would launch them into billionaire status—there are even others who blew it on big deals with Apple. Ronald Wayne, the lesser-known third Apple cofounder, was also working at the electronics company Atari when he stepped up as Jobs' friend to help convince Wozniak of formalizing Apple's launch. Wayne even typed up the contract, penning that he would receive a 10% share in the tech company, while Jobs and Wozniak would each be awarded a 45% stake. However, less than two weeks after drafting up the document, Wayne sold his stake for just $800, also reaping $1,500 to forgo any claim to the company. Looking back, it's a massive misstep as his 10% share could now be worth between $75 billion and $300 billion today. His wasted opportunity isn't as stark as Bushnell's—and the decision mainly came from a desire to have financial stability in his life. 'Jobs and Woz didn't have two nickels to rub together,' Wayne told Business Insider in 2017. 'I, on the other hand, had a house, and a car, and a bank account—which meant that I was on the hook if that thing blew up.' YouTube's cofounders, Chad Hurley, Steven Chen and Jawed Karim could also be sitting in a sizable nest egg today if they didn't sell their company so early. The YouTube creators sold their popular video platform to Google for $1.65 billion in fall 2006—each receiving millions of dollars worth of stock. Hurley got company shares worth around $345 million, according to The New York Times, while Chen accepted about $326 million worth. Karim, who left the business early to go back to school, got $64 million of shares. They were ecstatic about the deal in the beginning, but the buyer's remorse would potentially creep up less than 20 years later. Today, YouTube is valued at $550 billion—333 times higher than its market cap from nearly two decades prior, adjusted to inflation. If Hurley and Chen accepted the same stock deal today that they did in 2006, each could have more than $100 billion in their bank accounts.
