In The Village, I so desperately wanted the monster that Howard encountered in the forest to be real, and that the twist would be that the fictional creatures they had created had somehow come into reality.
In The 6th Sense, I was so flippin surprised by the ending I had to watch it again immediately and all I did was watch to verify that Willis hadn't actually communicated with anyone except the boy. This is the only movie I have have ever immediately rewatched.
I thought Signs was brilliant in terms of building suspense and fear without ever actually showing us much. A finger under the door....a foot disappearing into the corn field....a thud on the roof or a swinging swing....then when the video of the birthday party came, it scared the hell out of me.
And Unbreakable was just a great story.
