I think it depends on the film. The revelation that Willis is a ghost,is frankly all the film has going for it. Its pretty much the only thing Shayalaman's films have going for them, so I'd rather remain spoiler-free on those- If I can be arsed to watch them.
Knowing the story for Shakespeare helps inordinately, these days its about how well the play is put on anyway.
I've still not seen Citizen Kane, so while I know what Rosebud is, I don't understand the significance within the film. Knowing it in advance isn't going to spoil my experience of the film. Similarly with Soylent Green, it the journey that will be interesting.
Iron Man/Spiderman this is very clear from the beginning of the film/trailers/interview pieces. Its in no way a spoiler- the point of these films is how is the transition from Parker/Stark to their respective heroes.
