There is far more to enjoy in The Crying Game then the reveal of the meat and potatoes. The reveal of just who is Kyser Sozoe is arguably almost incidental to the plot.

And people who get mad that "Psycho" was ruined, well, it's a 40 year old movie. How long can a secret be held? "The Crying Game's" twist was a closely held secret for a very long time, until it went wider release than originally. The only reason that "Planet of the Apes's" end wasn't spoiled was because there was no Internet. Otherwise, it would have, too. And I still don't know what the twist in "Jacob's Ladder" is. I've never seen the movie. Are people kidding when they say the end of “Titanic” was spoiled for them?

My dad's fiancee walked in halfway through (through the second half) and said "Oh, did Melanie die yet?" AUGH! She was so contrite when she realized I hadn't seen it though I couldn't hold it against her. She grew up in the southeastern US, where I guess just EVERYONE know that!

Oh, and as for The Usual Suspects? Kujan was an idiot. Seriously, that ex-football player from The Ladykillers was smarter than this guy! Sheesh...

Where you expecting people to just list films or what? 'Cause so far I've seen people detail spoilers about the latest movies and the last Harry Potter BOOK. Isn't that exactly what you were complaining about to begin with?!

Five minutes into The Sixth Sense I said "Oh, he's dead, isn't he?" and my movie-watching companion shouted "YES!" The rest of the movie was pretty much a moot point, like most of the rest of M. Night Shyamalan's work. Sometimes just knowing that there’s a twist ruins a movie.
