ten twisty endings
The Empire Strikes Back
(no haha from me...this is the best "twist ending")
Easy Rider
Vertigo
2001: A Space Odyssey
Rosemary's Baby
Wild at Heart
A Clockwork Orange
The Prestige
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
12 Monkeys
While not a twist necessarily, Dr. Strangelove has quite the memorable non-standard ending.
Other movies based on books that should be mentioned include Blade Runner and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, although the "twist" would not be surprising to one that has read the book that has been adapted.
I included 2001: A Space Odyssey anyway because Kubrick's filmic ending breathes life into Clarke's words.
It's lovely to see no mentions so far for the obvious dreck like Fight Club or (heaven forbid) The Sixth Sense.
