For me it has to be "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" with Peter Fonda.
The ending just totally caught me by suprise, it was brutal!

I think it would have to be Arlington Road.
Untill that point i had never seen a movie where the bad guy actually won.

"The Blair Witch Project" is the first that springs to mind.
Though it is understandable considering the budget constraints, and the hand held cameras sure didn't help.
Like the movie or not it all added to the effect didn't it?
Dody Dorn the film editor for "Memento" must have been on drugs when he shuffled up and put that film together.
For total confusion, take a look at it.
I don't think a lot of people understand what film editing actually is.
From Wikipedia:
Film editing, also called montage, is the connecting of one or more shots together in a sequence.
Film editing evolved from the process of physically cutting and taping together pieces of film, using a viewer such as a Moviola or Steenbeck to look at the results.
A film editor is a person who practices film editing by assembling separate takes into a coherent film. In making a film the editors play a dynamic and creative role.
Typically, the editor follows the screenplay as the guide for establishing the structure of the story and then uses his/her talents to assemble the various shots and takes for greater, clearer artistic effect.

the ending to butterfly effect is the first one to mind, it was great - watch it if you can or have'nt (and somehow they are doing a sequel)
the running man by stephan king (writing as richard bachman) is a great book and the whole thing is loads differant from the arnie film, the ending is absolutly amazing

"The shape of things" by Neil Labute
It's actually a drama a first..but there's movie versions of it!
It's a love story how this guy change SO MUCH to be with this girl..but ended up that the girl was just treating him as a "piece of art work" The girl's main purpose was to test how much he can change the guy!

The frog storm in "Magnolia"; difficult but it managed to out-weird the rest of the film.
