Literally one of the most ruthless conquerors in world history, founder of the Mongol Empire, one of the largest Empires in history, and spawned fucking tens of thousands of children. I’ve been waiting YEARS for this movie
Which films have a jaw-dropping, earth-shattering twist that you don't see coming?
If you consider that even knowing a film contains a twist is a spoiler, please don't read this thread!
I love a good twist. By "good twist" I mean a surprising story development that:
- changes how you interpret prior events – bigger change, the better; total inversion = epic
- ideally, has been foreshadowed or hinted at the whole movie, yet you still didn't put it together
- hammers home the themes of the movie (i.e. isn't just there for the sake of a twist)
- isn't completely random, out-of-place, nonsensical or tonally jarring
Everyone knows the textbook example of a great twist is The Sixth Sense (1999). As a textbook example of a bad twist, I propose: Remember Me (2010) where for no particular reason it turns out >!one of the main characters is in the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001!<.

I've watched and rewatched a lot of movies and shows this year that had amazing battles with many things happening on screen and huge fights:
The Battle of the Pelennor Fields in Return of the King
The Battle of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers
The Battle of Stirling in Braveheart
The Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones
The Battle of Earth in Endgame
What was the most epic battle for you on screen?
I know it's too late for the team to take inspiration from the new Dune movie but I sure hope it gives me the same vibe.
It would be the next LOTR trilogy🔥
Hello! So first and foremost I apologize that my request is broad.
I recently got her into big epic tales like Maximus The Spainard, the bravado of Braveheart, and the classic battle of Amsterdam V. Bill The Butcher. These were all films that she's never seen before and it blew my mind, so once I showed her all three she asked, "what else would I like?"
We love big ole' epic struggles and I'm a sucker for soundtracks. (I tear up when a track hits me just right but I'll be dang if I ever let her see it)
I guess my question is... what's your favorite action/drama epic struggle movie that you think we'd enjoy?
I want to listen to some compositions that aren't part of movies but I don't really know what you call that genre. It's somewhere in classical, but what subgenre?
I've recently watched some great epic films and I'm looking for more. Some of the ones that I've watched and loved recently are:
- The Green Knight
- The Prisoner of Azkaban
- Ran (Akira Kurosawa)
- Apocolypse Now
