[quote user="Real Real"]Yeah, fair enough (and I agree about Elementary Particles' ending). I should have said "twist" - those twist "a-ha!" endings, not just something surprising. What I meant was that I can think of a number of movies I've enjoyed with true a-ha twist endings, but very few good novels.

completely agree. it's really strange though, because I can't explain why the twist ending should be more compatible with cinematic narrative than literary narrative form. will have to give this some thought . . .
