Throughout cinema history, there have been many plot twists. Some of them are very unpredictable and left people talking about them for ages, while some of them are poorly delivered. Below are my picks for the top five greatest plot twists in cinematic history.

1. Fight Club
   This David Fincher film follows an unnamed insomniac who narrates his life which he views as empty, and boring. The unnamed character meets a soap seller with a more extreme view on society named Tyler Durden.  The unnamed character moves in with Tyler after his apartment mysteriously explodes, under the condition that the narrator doesn’t talk to anybody about him. The two then start an illegal Fight Club, which the narrator uses to cure his insomnia. The members of the Fight Club look up to Tyler as their leader and they begin a series of terrorism and extremism called Project Mayhem. The further Project Mayhem goes, the more the narrator learns about himself and about Tyler.
