Hi, Movie questions again. The expressions below are used on the net. Could you let me know both are OK or which is more common? 1. a romance/ romantic movie 2. a history/ historical move 3. a twist/ twisted ending Thanks always

I would say ... 1) A romance (without the word "movie") or a romantic movie. 2) A historical movie 3) A twist ending, or an ending with a twist. "Twisted" means creepy, unpleasant, the work of a madman (e.g. "He has a really twisted sense of humour"). |

I agree. There �s a twist at the end is also used If a movie has a twist at the end it means something unexpected happens. |

Thanks FrauSue and Apodo! Now I have a crystal clear idea of a twist ending. About # 1,2 I still have a question because so many sites are using romance movies/history movies. There May be regional differences,... I guess. |
