If you watch Primer backwards, your understanding of the plot does not change.

Oh! Another Primer fan. Excellent.

The first time I saw this question, the example was Jaws.  If you watch Jaws backwards, it's about a shark that vomits out person after person until they all decide to open a beach.

I am +1 pretty much every post here for any media I've watched (or understand well enough).  No, I actually haven't watched Fight Club.

Indiana Jones (in general): a highly respected professor and archaelogist steals valuable treasures and artifacts, then goes to great lengths to hide them in various exotic locales and set up numerous dangerous traps to protect them.

The King's Speech: The king's brother gets a divorce, allowing him to take over the throne by some complicated legal shenanigans.  The former king is so flustered that he develops a speech impediment.

Gravity: a woman ascends into space where she meets a hansome middle-aged man.  Together, they construct a giant telescope out of clouds of debris orbiting the earth.

Romeo and Juliet: two teens wake up in bed together.  Juliet is holding a knife and Romeo's spits out a mouthful of poison.  They run away from each other, thoroughly distressed and confused, but they run into each other repeatedly even as they try to get some distance.  By the time they forget the whole ordeal, they've ignited a gigantic blood feud between their families.

If you watch Death Note backwards, it's about a serial necromancer who works with a crack team of police to cover up his identity.
This just destroyed my mind. I probably need more practice in reverse-thinking.

The First Pokémon Movie: Mewtwo and his best pal Mew hold a kickass theme party where pokémon fight their clones. One trainer spoils the fun by locking the non-clones inside black pokéballs. Mewtwo promptly releases them and scolds the trainers for abusing their pokémon. This abuse is made apparent again when the trainers have their pokémon travel through a raging storm backwards. Meanwhile, Mewtwo finds work with Team Rocket and begins to resent his old pal Mew, who left the party early. Mewtwo ends up saving one of Team Rocket's labs from a fire, then donates his body to the lab for science.

A group of toys are stolen from a young girl and given to a garbage boy, who takes them to the dump. From there, the toys find sunny side daycare, a hellish torturechamber. After discovering that the daycare is actually pretty nice, they take off to the thief's house, where they are promptly forgotten about.

A man steps down from a car, and develops a limp as he approaches the police station, where he meets with an agitated police officer who just saw a drawing of his face. Once the police officer calms down, the man proceeds to tell the story of a mythical Turkish criminal mastermind, but he quickly transitions to a made up tale about his team of five overly violent criminals who forced other people to smuggle for them, up until the dissolution of the group. The erratic police officer then speaks to a Hungarian survivor of their first job, who has to remind him that the story was originally about the Turkish criminal mastermind.

A princess is happily married until her lover gives her the kiss of death. Fortunately, her disguised stepmother is able to revive her with some sort of apple vomit magic. The princess trashes the home of the midgets who were eyeing her dead body, then goes back to live with her mom.

Human laughter no longer functions as a source of usable power. The monsters must turn to more sinister and morally questionable methods in order to preserve their way of life.

If you watch The Blair Witch Project backwards, the movie itself ends up never existing.

Inigo Montoya kills his father's murderer.  Almost immediately, the six-fingered man arises from the dead, and Inigo goes mad, wasting away drunk in a corner and picking fights with the Dread Pirate Roberts to hone his skills.  After chasing Roberts off, he returns Princess Buttercup to her castle and vanishes.  Fred Savage was not impressed with his story.
