What is the most shocking or surprising ending you have ever seen? I was really shocked by at the ending of "The Sixth Sense", "The Others", "Jacob's Ladder", "The Usual Suspects", "Vanilla Sky", "Mulholland Drive" and many others.

"Audition"

"Man Bites Dog"

"AI"... shocking because of how completely wrong the ending was.

I wouldn't really call the 'realization' the ending; more like the beginning of the third act.  :yabbse-undecided:
Unless you meant the penis shot.


Hands down: "Carrie"

Also:
"Planet Of The Apes (1968)"

Easily Psycho.
It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

"Walls of Jericho" and the line, "you just met me at a very strange time in my life" was a pretty good scene to me.  I don't know if that's what he's talking about, though.  But you're right, when most people mention Fight Club and "ending," they're really referring to the start of the third act, which is odd.

It's all about Arlington Road.

Man, "Arlington Road" had a really shocking ending but I also hated it. The movie was good up until that point.

It isn't your typical  good vs. evil ending now is it?

Dancer in the Dark. Although it was expected, it was very shocking
"In Serbia a lot of people hate me because they want to westernise, not understanding that the western world is bipolar, with very good things and very bad things. Since they don't have experience of the west, they even believe that western shit is pie."

I like Pi's ending.  I never would've seen what he did comgin from a mile away.
