Media with Good Plot Twists - the reader was actually gay the entire time~!

Are plot twists just excuses for not being able to write a good story?

Does the final episode of Hannibal season 2 count? The series continued for one more season after that, but no one predicted the multiple twists in that episode and even /tv/ lost their shit. Probably the best episode of a show I've ever seen, you did not see it coming.

The twist at the end of Hannibal Rising was pretty easy to see coming but I think they did a good job with the reveal. I was thinking the whole movie that he must have done it too in order to survive. Shame the rest of the movie was such cliche hollywood nonsense and the lead actor was pretty much playing an entirely different character and in no way shape or form resembled Hannibal Lecter.
 
Bottom Of The World. It's a weird WTF did I just watch type film. It starts out with a couple on a road trip. The woman gets sick so they head into town to rest. And the next day when they try to leave she gets sick again and only gets better when they return to town. Weird things happen and she disappears. The guy goes looking for her and keeps getting stalked by some lunatic.

But then as the plot slowly reveals itself you find out that the characters relationship is not what you think it is at all. The guy is actually her cousin who she murdered years ago as a teen because he was disabled and she was tired of taking care of him. She also sexually assaulted him several times out of boredom. He was unable to talk so he couldn't tell anyone. The whole movie is her near death experience as she's overdosing. Whether her cousin is a vengeful spirit or just a manifestation of her guilt because she got away with murder I wasn't sure of.

I watched it twice and I'm going to watch it again soon. It's one of my favorites. You have to see it more than once to really understand it. It's one of the better weird horror movies out there.

The scene with the can of peas. The scene with the can of peas.😵‍💫
 
I don't remember the movie's name, but it's the one where Geoffrey Rush plays an incredibly successful but socially stunted art appraiser who tries to convince a literal shut-in artist woman to come out of hiding. I don't remember why exactly, but I know he has the help of his long-time butler and a mechanic acquaintance.

He manages to do it, and finds out the woman is a twenty-something hottie who appears to fall for him. Both seem to work out their differences and the main character finally finds the love that his life was sorely lacking, since throughout the movie it is revealed he has massive mommy issues that made him scared of pursuing deeper relationships, and the vast majority of his fortune is in very rare original paintings of women, which he keeps stored in a very secure vault.

Then comes the final 10 minutes where it's revealed it was all a plot to steal the guy's massive fortune and collection. The butler, the mechanic and the girl - the only people he ever trusted in his entire life - were all on it to exploit his traumas and sweep him clean. And the final scene twists the knife further by implying the main character is still in love with the girl and she will magically come by to meet him at their usual place.
