If you know a twist is coming, you start hunting for it, which undermines the drama and can ruin a film. As a viewer, I try to go along for the ride and never try to "figure it out" because that can only undermine the drama of a situation.
Come on, Sean. We aren't discussing anything that hasn't already been discussed or seen by at least the majority of the movie-loving public. Who doesn't know about Empire Strikes Back or Usual Suspects?

Just finished watching Secret Window on cable. Good little twist in the tale, that one too (although it might have been predictable).
