All 3 are brilliant. Though you'll get more enjoyment out of them on second viewing. Maybe not Oldboy as the ending is so powerful, but The Usual Suspects and 12 Monkeys definitely. I didn't think much of The Usual Suspects on first viewing but when I watched it again it was amazing, even though I knew what was going to happen.

12 Monkeys has Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis? f..k yeah.

The Usual Suspects has Kevin Spacey? Double f..k yeah.

Oldboy has..........? Oh well I am going to assume it's going to kickass so triple f..k yeah!

Thanks for the recommendations

And I do agree with what you said about Saw. The movie did rely on the ending heavily, but it payed off and was still a good movie.

Haaaa...Trust me, with those movies, your in for a treat.

Oldboy doesn't have any actors or actresses that you'll recognise in it. Though Hye-jeong Kang is in it and she's adorable.

I hated The Usual Suspects so much and i'm usually a sucker for movies with twists. *Spoiler Kind of*

After watching the twist, you realize the entire movie is completely worthless besides the end.

Not really. Unlike Saw the ending actually meant something and had an effect on the storyline. There were also lots of little clues left throughout the film that take multiple viewings to catch.
