1. The Usual Suspects
In his classic crime noir, Bryan Singer shows Agent Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) obsessively trying to prove that a massacre and explosion at the Los Angeles docks was the work of his old adversary Keaton (Gabriel Byrne). Kujan interrogates Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey in a performance that won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor), a crippled con man who’s somehow managed to get immunity from the law.
Via flashbacks, Kint tells of how he, Keaton and three other crooks were pulled into a lineup and soon embarked on robberies. That got them on the radar of a lawyer named Kobayashi, who informs the group that they have to work for Kyser Soze, a near-mythical gangster so ruthless that he murdered his own family to prove he couldn’t be intimidated.
Kujan eventually breaks Kint down to admit Keaton was really “Soze” and Kint is let go. As he leaves, Kujan glances at the bulletin board on the wall and slowly stares in shock. As he looks at the various photos, cards and notes, Kujan realizes that every single name has been used by Verbal in his story somehow. A fax comes in from a survivor of the dock massacre identifying Soze and the face is all too familiar. Outside, we see Verbal limping down the street but in mid-step, his walk becomes strong and steady. A car pulls up driven by the man we know as Kobayashi and Verbal gets in, the car pulling out just as Kujan bursts onto the street, remembering what “Verbal” had told him earlier: “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” The discovery that Verbal was spinning a wild story all this time is one of the greatest cons ever pulled in cinema and that he gets away with it puts him atop this list.
