Sometimes films start off with one thing and for some odd reason halfway through shifts into something else. Sometimes this hurts a movie or helps it. An example I have is Rat Pfink a Boo Boo. Yes I know its supposed to be bad but the unexpected turn {Spoiler}Where it goes from being a semi-serious suspense thriller into a superhero story made the film go from bland drama to the biggest wtf comedy I had seen in a long time.) . Any other good examples of random turns in films like this?

All About Steve. I was with it being a cute quirky sort-of-romance about a psycho bitch stalking a guy... {Spoiler}...and then she fell in a hole and stayed in there for the next 45 minutes. It ruined a movie that was barely passable to begin with.

This thread begins and ends with two words:

A Clock Work Orange, every few seconds it seemed to take a sudden, weird, 180. And I love it for that.

In Bruges. Saw this based on how funny the trailer looked as well as how much I enjoy Colin Farrell as an actor and it wound up being one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.

SOMETHING WILD (1986). Starts out as an average romantic comedy where straight-laced Jeff Daniels begins a romance with quirky Melanie Griffith. Then: {Spoiler}Ray Liotta shows up as Melanie's psychotic ex-boyfriend, and the whole film turns into a sort of psychological thriller. Bizarre, but pretty damn good.

Maybe it was because I've only seen it once, but Donnie Darko. I don't get the ending.

Maybe it was because I've only seen it once, but Donnie Darko. I don't get the ending. It's definitely a movie that's hard to understand the first time around because seemingly meaningless things are really important. I could write a novel about it, but here's the short version. Basically, when Donnie's house got hit by an plane engine at the beginning, it opened up a sort of time portal type thing. A bunch of people ended up dead or with their lives ruined, and on Halloween, Donnie had to make a choice - either go back in time and get killed by the plane engine, saving everybody, or stay alive and let all the other people die. He chose to go back and sacrifice himself.

The Other Guys. It starts off like any other buddy cop movie, if a little skewed in the sense that the cops are kind of losers. Then, about a half hour in, it takes this really....really weird left turn into the character's psyches, and turns into a whole other bizarre comedy. Still loved it, though.

A Film With Me In It (2008)
When I put this movie on I was expecting a comedy. With that title and the movie starring comedian Dylan Moran (Black Books, David from 'Shaun of the Dead') I thought it will be a movie about a some down on their luck unemployed men making a film in hoping of making some money. Like 'The Full Monty' but movie making instead of stripping...
Oh I was wrong. It's a comedy.... But thirty minutes in, it takes a very dark turn.

While it was brief, I still have to wonder.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. What the hell was up with the tunnel scene?

I came here to post the same thing. We knew it was coming because of the previews, but the way the movie plays out is neat.
