My biggest question after reading this: are movies with plottwists considered to be better movies?

Here's a question though...are movies with plot twists as 're-watchable' as those without? I've watched Jurassic Park dozens of times, a comforting, familiar winter couch film. The Usual Suspects however, I would never re-watch because so much of the satisfaction of watching has already been expended.

It’s not just movies that a plot twist … stories do as well, especially business origin stories. Every backstory I’ve written, there’s always an unexpected plot twist to how an in idea morphed into a multi-million and multi-billion dollar legacy. Like how play-doh started out as wallpaper cleaner, or WD-40 was meant to clean the outside of rocket ships. No matter what, it’s always interesting and sometimes a little weird.
