The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven't been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

君の名は。 (your name.) — the first big twist. When ya boy Taki first sets foot on the school (as himself) and looks at the lake and you realise what the movie's been doing this whole time.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine did it like 15-20 years prior (and I loved that episode) but I never saw it coming. You go back and watch, and the movie kinda slaps you with a fresh fish with the clues, especially the date where he and his coworker are looking at all the photos. Camera stays there a good little while, too. Like damn. Stevie Wonder coulda saw that twist coming. But I was captivated by the beauty of the film. And the music.
