haha - I chuckled at this one.

It's a good question, Ferret - I think that it might come down to how iconic the film is instead of how old it is - For example,
Psycho is incredibly iconic and has been referred to, referenced, and paid tribute to ad nauseum - Its become a staple of the genre and its "reveal" is part of its image. Same thing with
Empire Strikes Back,
Planet of the Apes,
Soilant Green,
Citizen Kane - All of these films come from different eras, but I feel as though their reveals are public domain because they are referenced so much.
Personally, I tend to err on the side of caution and put up my [SPOILER] warnings liberally, though with those aforementioned films I would probably omit my warnings as I feel that the reveals are public knowledge.
