Silence of the Lambs
Has an incredible example of this in the scene where it appears as though Jodie Foster has the wrong house and the police are about to break down Buffalo Bill's door, and then there is that reveal through the editing that in face, Foster is about to walk into this murderer's house totally alone. Amazing juxtaposition of cuts.
