The Usual Suspects
Bryan Singer
1995

This held up pretty well. Kevin Spacey was still good and I found myself getting all caught up in the suspense even though I know the truth, which is basically that the whole movie is a lie. I was talking to this guy after class who doesn't like the film because it cheats--it has this big secret which it gives the viewer no real way to guess, but it's a lot more interesting if you start talking about the ambiguity of the flashbacks.
