I think it's quite possible to give a pretty detailed plot summary of movies like the Sixth Sense and Fight Club without giving away the spoiler. For that reason, the fact that {spoiler} gives the text "Plot and/or ending details follow" is poor - plot details are fine, spoilers are the problem.
I'm not against spoiler notices where appropriate, but surely common sense
should come into where they are needed and where they are not!
Again, if the text produces "Plot...details follow" it does seem perfectly logical to put it where you're giving plot details!
It's perfectly sensible to give away the ending of a movie. It saves people from having to waste two hours of their lives waiting for the end. That time might be better spent editing their favorite site. That and they don't need to gorge themselves on overpriced popcorn.
