15 Good Movies Ruined by a Bad Twist (CBR.com)

"Filmmakers have a long and mixed history of leading their stories down sudden and unexpected plot twists to surprise fans and subvert expectations. This trope has been especially well served by some genres and films. However, it doesn't always work. The plot device has been used across genres but is most closely linked to thrillers and horror films. The twist ending has just as much chance of undermining the film's events as it does of adding something. The goal of such a twist should be to shock audiences or enhance the film upon rewatch. It should give fans a good reason to experience the story again with the twist in mind. Far too many movies, however, have inadvertently ruined the story they had built up through twists that undermine the rest of the film." - cbr.com
