Why would anybody want to see that though ?
Not a pop at you, K. I just don't understand anybody who wants to know the ending of a fillum rather than be entertained (or not, in some cases) on the journey to said ending.
Mrs G is like that. If she can find out what happens, she'll look it up first. She's bloody odd.

I haven't even gone through all of the list yet, but I am interested in seeing what they say are the WORST endings. Of course it will only make sense if it is a movie that I have seen.

I can't access immediatley here at work, but does it give you a chance to NOT see if it's a movie you want to watch unhindered by knowledge ?

It doesn't even give away the ending of some of the movies -- for example:
3. The Usual Suspects
Considered the best twist ending by many people, it was hard to put this so far down at #3. I’ve seen a couple people put this crime thriller starring Kevin Spacey on “Worst Twist Endings” lists, but those people are just idiots wanting to sound smarter and more sophisticated than everyone else.
(Hey, did you write that?)
It is pretty easy to just see the movie titles and skip over the text if it's a movie that you haven't seen and plan to do so some day.

Ha, I dislike it when people say "Oooooh yeah, I could see the ending coming a MILE OFF ...!"
I don't need to THINK about it, or try to work out the why's and wherefores; I like to be entertained. Idiots.
But yes, you're probably right; I have written something similar on more than one occassion ......

I learned to shut up about saying that I had understood the twist in The Sixth Sense before it was revealed (not a mile off, though). Normally, I don't see the twist coming, but there were plenty of clues in that one -- as anybody who sees that movie a second time notices immediately.
Sometimes I can feel a twist coming just because "everything is going along all according to plan" but I glance at my watch and there is still at least a half hour left. The only time I can figure it out, though, is when I use the technique of "the least likely person is behind it all."

Yeah, that's the difference though. I don't really think about the fillum while I'm watching it, in that respect. So unless the 'twist' is REALLY obvious, I don't see it. I didn't see the 6th Sense one. And I'm glad.
