"Smilla's Sense of Snow" fits that description pretty well. At the very end it turned into science fiction with no clue to that beforehand. It was a beautiful book.
I remember an old rather conventional western I saw on TV, probably about 1955 or so, that took place just across the Mexico border from Texas where a rancher from the USA was having problems with the caballeros from a much larger nearby ranch. Finally at the end they had surrounded his little ranch house with the intention of killing him and a dinosaur came out of the woods and ate all the bad guys. I always liked that ending.
