For some of us, familiarity is the appeal with books and movies too, as Harry indicated. I have actually reread some books immediately upon finishing them--books where the author has set up a surprise that I never saw coming; I like to see just how the author carefully misdirected me but still played fair.
I don't see how knowing the ending matters; it's the journey that makes the book or movie enjoyable.
