Signs

[The Crusher]

Hmmm, another tough one. I really liked Signs and The Village. I haven't seen Lady in the Water yet, but I had to vote for Sixth Sense.

[Disgustipated]

Unbreakable

[Nimrandir]

The Sixth Sense. A Good Movie with a twist ending that made it great. Signs was also very good. Lady in the water, that movie was a ttal waste of film.

Yeah, I liked The Sixth Sense. I hated Signs, though. I didn't even bother with Lady in the Water.

[Ramplate]

Sixth Sense is the only one that is good that I have seen.

Signs was a Suspense Thriller -

it kept me waiting in suspense Wondering when it was gonna thrill me - what a waste of film - I wanted my life back.

[The WupZter]

The Sixth Sense

[Mat]

Unbreakable, his best by far. Lady in the Water was terrible, the worst movie I saw at the theaters this year.

[masterful misha]

the six sense

[spide-ed]

Unbreakable was the only movie i liked of his.

[kel thuzad]

Unbreakable is a masterpiece.
I more or less like all of his movies though.

[IanTheCool]

Sixth Sense absolutely. its one of the great thrillers of the last twenty years. signs is great too, but no where on the level of 6th sense.

[kel thuzad]

It seems to me that most of the people who think 6th Sense is the best never saw Unbreakable.
Im saying most, not everyone.

[Tzarinna]

Unbreakable,it gives me chill when I watch it. :redface:
Sixth Sense comes in next,great idea,I love movies about dead people.

[Tzarinna]

Bloody Woverine,is that you? :confused:

The Sixth Sense! This director is one of the most innovative and creative directors out there. Recently he has been all over the place and hasn't been consistent at all, wonder what he has up his sleeve next.

i agree.i cant wait till his next film. i would like to see more of his village and the six sence movies and less of lady in the water movies

[Vchipp]

The Sixth Sense...it was a pleasant surprise.

[Diablo23]

I've liked all his movies.. but my favorite has to be Sixth Sense, followed by Unbreakable.. those two are his best.

[Boro]

i voted for the village, forgot to post.

anyways, village is my favorite followed by unbreakable.

[RedVader 2004]

Bloody Woverine,is that you? :confused:
Ha ha but over here i am RedVader2004. No this one is not mine.

[Fiverrabbit]

I voted for Signs.

[droidguy1119]

Sixth Sense is pretty good but Unbreakable is better, and the concept of making three films would have been awesome, especially if Sam Jackson had returned for, say, the third one and made some in-jail cameos in the second.

The rest of Shyamalan's films are pretty bad. Signs sucked, The Village was soul-suckingly awful, and Lady in the Water has moments so self-serving it makes me wish he'd never make a film again.

[coach34]

sixth sense for me

[FVD]

Unbreakable by far. Sixth Sense comes in at second and I got no choice but to give Signs third place. That's due to the fact that I haven't seen the Village and Lady In The Water.

This guy is strikingly similar to Gilliam in terms of likability. They oth are wonderful directors, masters in creating the imagery and especially atmosphere. Their only problem is that they keep writing their own weird stuff. (which i dont consider a problem at all, i love it) Thats why people basically love em or hate em. It would be very interesting to see Night do somebody elses script.

Gilliam tends to base his screenplays on other written material. M. Night writes his from scratch.

While both directors are unique in their directing style, and both quite capable in that department, I think they're both extremely different.

So what am I saying? Er, well, in terms of "likability", yeah, they're probably on the same level. In terms of similiarity, I don't agree with anything you just said.

I enjoyed Lady in the Water. Many I heard hated it and just found it stupid. But really, the reason why i liked it was because it was like a rpg game. You had your healer, your warrior, and even the main dude...and around all of these characters were crazy creatures. It's fanatasy to fit our kind of reality. Village was also good, as was Unbreakable. I watched The sixth sense so many times that i just dont care for it anymore. But I never did like signs, I wanted more aliens and less talk of the human condition. But i must say, Signs was better than the recent War of the Worlds, that tried that same kind of effect.

[Ltrain]

sixth sense.

[MaraJade]

I like Signs the best. I like the spirituality in that movie. Although, Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are very good as well. The Village is just tolerable. I have not seen the first two on the list, nor Lady in the Water yet.

[TBeane]

Signs for sure. I'm not sure why I clicked with this movie so much. Maybe now in retrospect it is embarrassing since Mel Gibson features so prominently in the movie. But the relationships between the family members made the movie that much more compelling.

[tiamat1990]

The Village. I don't know why...oh and I think Sixth Sense is fine but not amazing.
