What about The Sixth Sense, where the entire emotional impact comes from NOT knowing about the major character death until the very end? That's a case in which the story wouldn't have been anywhere near as powerful if you'd known the truth the entire time. Having that part revealed at the beginning would've ruined the movie.

NA

A lot of people are critical of The Sixth Sense for exactly that reason though. Any story with a twist like that should be able to hold up even if you know how it ends, IMO, because if the rest is well-written, it's enriched by seeing the "clues" that were there all along leading to the ending.

But that's just not true. It should hold up on your own, but no twist endings ever? Your preferences are not everyone's preferences and you're not the ultimate judge of quality.

I guessed that within a few minutes though, it wasn't as if there were no clues. I think there are much greater films with much more interesting twists, but it didn't ruin the film for me having worked it out.

I think there's a difference between working something out yourself and having it spoiled.
