No Country for Old Men was a surprise. I'd not read the book and knew nothing about it except the trailer.
The scene at the motel, Me: "Wut?".

Yep they were all pieces of ****. Lets you know even then most people were sheep and other people are going to profit from that fact.
I'm glad someone mentioned The Crying Game. What a shock.
I'm much more surprised at the mention of The Carnival Of Souls. I saw that movie when I was 10 years old. I was so freaked out by it that I had trouble sleeping for about 3 nights. That was an unexpected ending. It fascinated me to find out in the last decade that it is a cult movie. It is one of a kind.

"You know, I really kind of liked her....."
Asides:
I really love this film, it is one of my all time favorites. I have two films that I use as standards. ABAHD for the minimum level of "good" an independent film production should be. It moves forward on story, writing, acting, and not effects or jump cuts. Sure, you can poke all kinds of holes in it and call out the cheese but you can't deny the film works.
The other is Battle: Los Angeles w/ Aaron Eckhart. It is not a great movie by any stretch clocking in barely at 5.8 on IMDB. However, I can watch it all the way through without groaning and in the end go "Not terrible, I kinda enjoyed it in parts." So now when I get a film from redbox it has to make the BLA margin, 5.8, or I pass. So far it's been spot on.

The first time I saw it I was quite sure of how predictable it would be. I was very wrong and it is a great neo-noir film with real turns.
The second point is that it underscores is what a colossal moron Charlie Sheen is/was, not that anyone needed further proof -

OH yeah... Miss Denise... she can catch me by surprise anytime!
And Charlie Sheen... wow.. did he ever prove that he's a moron.

That description reminds me of Walkabout, suitable for inclusion here, I think.
