A good movie is worth watching even if you know what's going to happen. 
  Or why else do people still go to see Shakespeare's plays?

"Romeo and Juliet?  Why would I want to see that when I already know 
they both die at the end?"

Case in point: The Sixth Sense.  The ending was "spoiled" for me before 
I ever saw it.  Even so, I found it to be an excellent movie, and was 
still able to appreciate it.

Personally, I think that if a movie is only enjoyable the first time you 
watch it, then you shouldn't watch it at all.
