While not a twist necessarily, Dr. Strangelove has quite the memorable non-standard ending.
Other movies based on books that should be mentioned include Blade Runner and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, although the "twist" would not be surprising to one that has read the book that has been adapted.
I included 2001: A Space Odyssey anyway because Kubrick's filmic ending breathes life into Clarke's words.
It's lovely to see no mentions so far for the obvious dreck like Fight Club or (heaven forbid) The Sixth Sense.

OH give me a fucking break! Fight Club is a fucking awesome movie, and the ending is awesome. I have been meaning to watch 12 Monkeys since we got it at x-mas. Soooon...
