Yeah, when it was torpedoed by that German U-Boat whose captain was played by Harrison Ford. :lol:

Sixth Sense. I don't particularly hate it, per se. I just find it boring and tedious, and not worth the hype that was built up around it.

QFT. And the ending was about as subtle as a freight train.

Sadly, it also came out up against the similarly premised Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon, which I thought was a far superior film. Of course, SoE got creamed at the box office because of all the hype around Sixth Sense. :?

Guess which one I own a copy of.

I liked Unbreakable, but generally Shyamalan doesn't do much for me. With that one The Village, the ending was so obvious that I had suspected it from the very first trailer.

Ugh, don't remind me of that trainwreck of a film. Shyamalan owes me two hours of life over that debacle.

Really? Some were overly arty, for sure, but Sleeper, Bananas, Everything You Wanted to Know... were great films.
