I hate spoilers with a burning passion. The experience of a movie or a book is mostly intended for first-timers. Plot twists or endings are an important part of watching the movie, and I find I can best appreciate this when I don't know what's going to happen.

Uncommon is the movie or book that touches me once. Rare is the movie or book that manages to touch me time and time again.

I like reading the endings to movies and TV series. Spoilers have never bothered me much and I have never understood people who get upset over them. However, I do try to refrain from spoiling myself if the plot twists and/or the ending are part of the main draw of the series itself, such as the case with Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which has gained notoriety (and popularity) among anime fans for those reasons.

Same here. I like to know what I've got coming when I watch a movie.
