I think we've gone crazy with spoiler alerts and warnings.
Here then is a thread merely about spoilers.
These are real spoilers, folks. You've been warned.
In "Hamlet", they all die.
In "Reservoir Dogs", they all die.
In "The Skelaton Key", it turns out that the old lady and Peter Sarsgaard's characters are REALLY being possessed by vodoo practing servants who we originally thought were lynched in a flashback to back in the day but, as we learn later, find out that just before that tragedy they managed to switch bodies with the children of the people they served--meaning children were hanged here. Horrible I know, but it's a real clencher! And they keep switching bodies every generation...AND THEY DO THE SAME TO KATE HUDSON! So the final scene is the old lady and the old man, unable to speak, being carried away to the hospital, while we the audience know that inside those bodies are Kate Hudson and Peter Sargaard!

In Huckleberry Finn his Pa is the dead guy in the house. I really did spoil that for my 10th grade literature class...I had already read the book.

LOTR: The One Ring is destroyed in Mt. Doom.
Sixth Sense: Bruce Willis is dead.
Narnia: Aslan's not going to stay dead.
I think I'd better quit reading this thread before people start posting about plotlines I don't want spoiled!

What a great idea! I actually like spoilers, as I prefer to know what's going to happen in the end. Sometimes I read books backwards chapter by chapter starting at the end.
Gandalf comes back after falling into the pit in Moria.
Hector gets killed by Achilles and Troy gets sacked. Hector's wife Andromache gets pressed into slavery, and their cute baby son gets thrown from the tower.
In every Jane Austen novel, the heroine gets her man in the end. All six of them end in weddings.
In War and Peace, Pierre and Natasha end up together.
The way to tell a Shakespearean comedy from a tragedy: in a tragedy everyone dies in the end, in a comedy they all get married. (That spoilered about 2 dozen plays for you all at once. )
In Crime and Punishment, Rodion finally confesses in the end and gets sentenced to 10 years in a Siberian prison.
In The Brothers Karamazov, the servant son of the elder Karamazov by Reeking Lizaveta is the one who actually did it. Dmitri is convicted but escapes custody and lives in hiding.
Dostoyevsky's obsession with murder and patricide leads me to believe that he actually played a substantial role in the death of his father, though the official record states that he was "killed by his own serfs who poured Vodka down his throat until he drowned".

After death, we all join the great universal consciousness and, fully understanding everything, our very thoughts become the genesis of new universes.
Oh, and Soylent Green is people.

Wow, there's actually a spoiler I had to quickly glance away from here. I just got Brothers Karamazov for Christmas.

In The Usual Suspects, Verbal Kent is Keyser Söze.
In the original Myst game, the two guys in the library asking you to bring them the blue or red pages are really the bad guys and you shouldn't give them the pages or they'll imprison you in their books.
In Shrek, the princess is really an ogre.
In the real story of the Little Mermaid, not the cute Disney movie, the little mermaid dies in the end.
In Ender's Game, Ender does kill all the buggers (well almost) and saves the world but he hates himself for it. And Peter becomes Hegemon.
[edited to add and fix spelling] And Russell Crow's character in A Beautiful Mind is schizophrenic and all that stuff about working for the CIA is all a delusion.

In the first Monkey Island game, the sheriff on Melee island is really the ghost pirate Le'Chuck.

In Angels and Demons, the Illuminati didn't really come back, and the pope was really the father of the bad guy, who was his chamberlin.
At the end of the Book of Mormon, all of the nephites except Moroni are dead--my dad spoiled that one for me!

The Legend of Zelda Theme is not by System of a Down. But by a little known band called The Rabbit's Joint. The singer sounds similar to System's lead singer. But not a whole lot.

Seriously? I've never read any books in that series, but that sounds...cheap.

Thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice papercut and pour lemon juice on it?
