It's very hard to watch again knowing the ending.
Also The Others and The Village are great films but when you know the ending it doesn't have the same impact.
Possibly the worse one would be "The Game".
Movies based on well-known events already have a strike against them for me. Apollo 13, Moneyball, etc. All they can do is embellish them or add special effects.

The Game
Repo Men
Oldboy
Almost every movie made where the ending was all just a dream can be that for me.
Unbreakable
The Sixth sense
Sadly, I found "Sicario" had very little rewatch value as it hung so much on suspense and mystery.
shareOMG! I thought I was the only person on the planet who likes "The Village"

No. I don't watch movies for twist endings. I have seen "Memento" many, many times. "The Sixth Sense" several times as well.
I agree with the reply that said movies based on true stories are not very interesting. I would add bio-pics to that. I actually liked "Apollo 13" very much because it managed to make an event whose outcome is well-known into a suspenseful film anyway - but this is an exception.
So, in general, my answer is "No." If a movie rises and falls on its surprise ending, then it was not much of a movie to start with.
