I'm the same way, Gerard. I've seen so many of these things now that what gives me real pleasure is the quality of the performances, how the story is told, whether the dialogue is of a superior calibre, etc.
It takes a really devious inventive mind to surprise me. Two movies where I was at least jolted were Carrie and The Crying Game (where the "big reveal" was less of a surprise than how the director chose to reveal it). I thought I couldn't ever be shocked like that again but it happened a couple of years ago when I saw the 1989 film The Woman in Black (recently re-made by a coalition of production companies including a revived aegis of Hammer studios). A friend told me that there was no attempt in the remake to re-stage the shocking scene in the 1989 version. Which was probably just as well.
cheers, G.
