The Sixth Sense, with Unbreakable being a close second. I thought Signs was fine until the Shamalyan twist, which made it silly. I haven't seen his last two.

The sixth sense i think was the only real good one out of those, unbreakable was decent i think the latter ones were bad.

What was the twist in Signs? The director himself denied really thinking of it as a twist?

And I liked Unbreakable second to Signs.

The twist wasn't like it was in Sixth Sense and most of his other films. In those, it was some fact that was withheld. I guess it was the whole water thing in Signs that was silly, as it makes no sense. But the "twist" of it was why the aliens are there, not to invade but to harvest. It's a twist because it makes you look at the events of the film differently once you know it. It was just lame compared to the other twists.

Seen all, don't really have a favorite. The best ones are rather gimmicky. The non-gimmicky ones aren't the best. Need to see Lady though.

I've only seen the sixth sense and the village. The former was somewhat interesting.

I've guess I saw a lot of boxing moives. Also I guess if you see the same boxing moive over 50 times you kind of know it like the back of your hand. o_0

Sixth Sense all the way. I have to say Unbreakable was just a little behind that one. Signs was way to bleeding preachy for my tastes and I haven't seen the rest.

I haven't seen any of those movies... nothing of my taste, I think.

M. Night Shamylan's movies are people who want a more intellectual thriller to something as overdone as most horror movies.

I'm more of a fan for action films and such, as much as I do enjoy intellectual movies. Just not for horror, really.
