* The entire premise of \\\'\\\'{{The Sixth Sense}}\\\'\\\' is based on the fact that [[spoiler: Dr. Malcolm Crowe was killed by a deranged former patient in an early scene. Crowe spends the entire movie as a ghost, trying to cure Cole of his \\\"delusions\\\" of being able to speak to the dead.]]
* In \\\'\\\'Happy Accidents\\\'\\\', Vincent D\\\'Onofrio tells Marisa Tomei that he is a time traveler from a dystopian future who saw her picture and came to the present to find her. The story is told from Marisa\\\'s point of view as she talks with her psychologist and tries to figure out along with the audience whether he is telling the truth. It turns out that [[spoiler: not only is he a time traveler, but the psychologist is too!]]
All of the above involve surprise revelations to the characters themselves, not just the audience. This is, appropriately, a rather rare trope in films, due to the difficulty of concealing something obvious from the audience but not the characters.
