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

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.

Well that doesn't fit here, Signs was a cr*p movie.
