What's the best mind-blowing movie twist of all time? Spoiler alerts as standard!

The Julie Christie/Donald Sutherland movie "Don't Look Now". At the start they are involved in a hot steamy sex session indoors while their toddler daughter, wearing a red plastic raincoat, accidentally drowns in the back garden pond. To escape guilt and the tragedy they take a work assignment in Venice (Sutherland is an architect restoring an ancient church). He is plagued by sightings of a fleeing short figure in a red plastic coat (his daughter's ghost?). On cornering the figure Sutherland is slashed in the throat by a demented psychotic dwarf, responsible for several earlier murders.
 
Another I remember - not really mind-blowing, more of a shocking twist - was Kill List with the brilliant Neil Maskell.

In The Dark Knight Rises where Miranda Tate stabs Batman whilst revealing she's Talia Al Ghul. Good stuff :-)

Her death scene was laughably bad.

Oldboy, Shutter Island, Se7en, Fight Club, Primal Fear, Jacob’s Ladder, The Prestige, Memento, The Game and Identity all had good twists.

I did work it out after I watched it about 5 years ago but I've kinda forgotten. You have to really concentrate on most David Lynch films though. It's a brilliant film imo. Made by a master.
Here is a little video I found.

The Vanishing (The 1988 version) is also a great one, won't spoil it here

What a brilliant film it is. I recommend this as a film everyone must watch. A masterpiece in suspense even though you know what is going on.

That remake with Jeff Bridges and Sandra's Bollocks is just inept and trashy. Belongs in the worst movie thread.
