Planet of the Apes It's difficult enough for you to make sense of a planet where humans are ruled by talking apes, but when we finally get used to the concept, the ending is really beyond our expectation.Besides, the scene when astronaut George Taylor discovers the remains of the Statue of Liberty in the original 1968 film is really shocking.

Fighting Club This 1999 hit film starring Edward Norton as an office worker who starts an underground fight club isn't the easiest movie to follow.But the dramatic ending, which involves exploding buildings, may be the most shocking part of all.
