The ambiguity in Shutter Island that I like best is Andrew's last line: "Is it better to live as a monster or die a good man?" It can be interpreted that he knows who he really is and would rather forget (via lobotomy), or he still believes he's Teddy Daniels, and he's really asking the question to Chuck, who he thinks is an evil conspirator.
