Improving the single sentence spoiler (caution: spoilers)

#1

So XKCD introduced us to the single sentence spoiler:



I thought perhaps we could improve this, and added a little to the front (the back addition was part of the comic as the mouse-over text):

Luke's father, Snape, killed Trinity with Rosebud, but it turns out they're both Tyler Durden.

So I'm wondering if we could improve on this - either by choosing more important movies, or simply adding more spoilers into it.

What movies are either important in and of themselves, or have such unexpected twists that a spoiler would be effective at ruining the whole movie for someone?

How can we add these spoiler to the sentence without making it obnoxiously overwrought?

(Too obscure?)
