You Haven't Seen WHAT?!

My favorite is Signs, with Unbreakable running a close second.

I love The Village more with each viewing.


The Sixth Sense is by no means a bad film, and was a legitimate cinema phenomena when it was in theaters. Except for €, most people didn't guess the twist and - far more important and rare - no one gave it away, spilled the beans, or talked about Fight Club.

Unbreakable is my favorite. Signs and The Sixth Sense are both roughly equal. I was apalled at how bad The Village was but haven't seen it since so maybe I should give it the chance of a second viewing. But the very idea of it is so trite and rehashed that it is hard to find enough enthusiasm to sit through it again.

And if you haven't seen The Third Man you really should go out of your way to do so.

I love Unbreakable. It's by far my favorite. Signs is a close second, and my favorite alien movie ever. I loved The Village, and wasn't aware that most people don't. I will never watch Sixth Sense again. It was scary, and has made all the imaginary friends tromping around the house seem rather menacing to me. In fact, I'm halfway convinced that a certain cow and the girl who owns the cow that showed up six months later might not have been imaginary at all. Which is probably bollocks, but Sixth Sense got into my brain.

I've never seen Close Encounters, nor did I have the desire to until this thread. It does piss me off that I can't see the real movie.
