* ''Film/FireInTheSky: The flashback at the end is very important. Travis Walton disappeared at the beginning of the film and the police suspected Allan Dallas of murdering him. About half the film is trying to prove Dallas to be the murderer but even after Walton reappears five days later, he's in no condition to tell anyone what happened. His flashback reveals the mystery.

* ''Film/Dementia1955'': Done in a bizarre scene that fits the film's MindScrew surrealism. The woman sees her parents' tombstones in a cemetery, and is thrown into a flashback that actually takes place in the cemetery. Her father lies on a bed that is sitting there between the graves; he is shown to be an abusive drunk. Her mother is then shown lying on a couch, also in the graveyard. The father sees someone else's cigar next to the couch, realizes the mother has been cheating on him, and then shoots her. The woman that is the film's protagonist then kills her father by stabbing him in the back.
