The Usual Suspects (1995)
How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?
Who is Keyser Soze? We follow the story from the point of view of poor quiet, unassuming Verbal the entire time, slowly sympathizing with the guy. What do we get for our compassion? The discovery during the last two minutes of the film that Verbal is the elusive super criminal. You can't help but feel his sense of triumph as the limp becomes a swagger and he rides away into the sunset.

Identity (2003)
What happened in the hotel?
After an hour and a half of watching the characters struggle through a storm, stuck in a roadside hotel, and slowly getting picked off one by one in some pretty violent ways by a mysterious murderer, we discover that every person there is really only a personality in the mind of one very disturbed serial murderer, and that the child--the secretly-a-psycho-killer child--wins out in the end.

Fight Club (1999)
The things you own end up owning you.
I am a figment of Jack's fractured personality. Or at least that's what Tyler Durden would have been able to say at the end of this flick, had the narrator not shot himself in the head, effectively putting an end to one of the best looking psycosis ever!

Primal Fear (1996)
Sooner or later, a man who wears two faces forgets which one is real.
Gere has been basing his entire defense of poor, stuttering Norton on the fact that Norton had suffered so much sexual abuse at the hands of the priest that his personality splintered. After an episode in the courtroom where his alter personality comes out and assaults the prosecutor, and in which he is found not guilty by reason of insanity, Norton's character admits that he's been faking it all along. Sneaky jerk.
