The Songs of Johnny Go

Actually, I'd have to disagree - no matter how much that ending fucked with the head, it was kind of the point. If the story had not had that twist, it would have been beautiful, but I would have put it down and gone "...and?" Usually, when that particular trick (or variation thereof) is pulled, it's a cheap gimmick. In Atonement it was not necessarily new, but it gave the story a centralized element that otherwise would have been lacking.
