Life of David Gale is about as good as it gets, and The Prestige is also an absolutely mind-blowing film. I'm sure you'll enjoy both!

Fight club and memento.

Watch The Usual Suspects before anything else, best twist ever imo.

As mentioned you cant go wrong with Memento, Fight Club and The Usual Suspects. All great films.

Inside Man or try other movies with Morgan Freeman such as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls.

The Machinist maybe?

Agreed. Watch The Usual Suspects first, then watch a load more films (Life of David Gale, Arlington Road, The Prestige, etc) and then watch The Usual Suspects again.

The second viewing of The Usual Suspects is great - the twist is presented in such a different way throughout the film that the second viewing makes for an interesting couple of hours!

Oldboy's twist > The Usual Suspects' twist. But I've only watched The Usual Suspects once, and Oldboy about 15 times and it never gets boring.

If you want something to try and get your head around, watch Donnie Darko.

cheers, we've ordered

Usual Suspects
LA Confidential
The Others

Will check the rest of the suggestions out if these are good
