I just watched Unbreakable for the 3rd time, and it's such a good film. You've probably seen a movie by M. Night Shyamalan, but here's a list, just to make sure:

Praying With Anger
The Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Signs
The Village
Lady in the Water

He's a director/screenwriter who relies on a big twist ending, which I have no problem with, but some people do I guess. Some of his movies have been shit on a lot (Lady in the Water). I didn't like Signs and The Village fell apart for me near the end (though it's been a while since I saw it), but like I said above, I love Unbreakable and the theme it explores.
The Sixth Sense was good too. Didn't actually see Lady in the Water or Praying With Anger.

I've seen Signs and The Sixth Sense. I like both. Especially The Sixth Sense. I think I saw Unbreakable a long time ago. Is that the one where the guy is invincible except water hurts him? Vague memories. Anyway, he makes good movies.

Aye, that's the one. Explores comic books and how they discuss real life. I made a comic book thread and I think subconsciously I ripped off Unbreakable in my second theory, or was at least influenced it.

The only ones i haven't seen were Unbreakable and Praying with Anger. Lady in the Water was.... weird. Absurd, freaky. Funny, in a way. the others were decent. They weren't mind-blowing for me, but if I ran into another chance of seeing them, i would

I loved the sixth sense, hated signs, too predictable... and haven't seen the others, only the village (that's his movie too, right?)

I'm not surprised Unbreakable isn't a popular one here because it seems like nobody talks about it but it is by far the best movie he made. The Sixth Sense is cool and all but after I saw it once I didn't really feel like seeing it again. True, Shyamalan probably won't top the twist in that one, but Unbreakable is just a better movie.

Haven't seen Praying With Anger and Lady in the Wather. The others I liked , although The Village was predictable. I love big twist endings.

I haven't seen Praying with Anger, The Village, or Lady in the Water. I have seen other ones. Signs is my favorite film that he's done.

Signs is good.
Sixth Sense is good too.
Both not in my favorites.

Signs.An elementally predictable movie but sure has a lot of flaws.

But we don't see star wars and ask how light sabers are possible.


The movie "Signs" in four easy steps.

I would deem The Sixth Sense worthy of seeing multiple times.
