You’ve watched these movies a hundred times. But have you really seen them?
Theory #1: Hayley Joel Osment's Character In The Sixth Sense Can See Dead People
Even if you haven't seen The Sixth Sense, you know the film's big shocker: Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. If this is still somehow a spoiler for you, sorry, but you had 16 years.
But if Bruce Willis is dead the entire time, then how are he and Hayley Joel Osment able to have long conversations as patient and therapist? Unless — Haley Joel Osment's character can see dead people.
Think About It: From the ghost of the little girl directing him to the videotaped evidence of her murder, to the cyclist at the crash site, to Bruce Willis' character himself — how would Haley Joel Osment's character be able to interact with any of them as he does if he couldn't see (and probably even speak to) ghosts? Re-watch the Sixth Sense with this theory in mind; it changes the entire film.

Theory #2: The Terminators In Terminator 2 Are Actually From The Future
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is arguably the greatest action movie of all time. But if you step back from the non-stop action a little and consider the plot, there might be more going on below the surface. Consider — Wouldn't it explain everything that's going on if BOTH the Terminators were actually from the future?
Think About It: The T-800 model robot played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is protecting John Connor and trying to prevent Judgment Day. The T-1000 played by Robert Patrick is hunting John Connor and hoping to cause Judgment Day. There's only one weird problem: Judgment Day hasn't even happened yet.
How could the robots have knowledge of events that haven't happened, not to mention fully-functional cybernetic bodies and artificial intelligences? If you watch the movie with this theory is mind, it actually explains a lot.

Theory #3: Darth Vader Is Princess Leia's Father
Everyone remember's the scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader memorably says, verbatim, "Luke, I am your father" (direct quote). It explains why Vader has been so reluctant to kill Luke, asking him to rule at his side instead. But there's one other character conspicuously absent from that confession — why hasn't Darth Vader killed Princess Leia?
We know what you're thinking: Darth Vader is the bad guy. He blew up Princess Leia's entire planet! But just spared Leia for some reason? He had plenty of opportunities to kill her in captivity, unless... Darth Vader is also Princess Leia's Father.
Think About It: Even though Leia kisses Luke for luck in the first movie, the two never really seem to have any romantic chemistry and Leia almost immediately takes a reluctant shine to bad-boy Han Solo. In Return of The Jedi, Luke himself tells Leia that they're brother and sister — sister to the same guy who's father is Darth Vader.
