Glass
Split
Unbreakable
The Sixth Sense


Few movies have bored me as much as The Sixth Sense. I guess I prefer Shyamalan trying to entertain as opposed to him trying to impress, but I'm not a fan in any case.

The Sixth Sense-- 4.5/5 (held up for me in a rewatch)
Split-- 4/5
The Visit--4/5
Glass-- 4/5
Unbreakable-- 4/5
The Village-- 4/5
Lady in the Water--3/5  (Yeah, it's silly, but in a fun way)
Signs-- 3/5  (a rewatch put this down in my signts)

I looked over the shoulder of my daughter as she watched The Last Airbender.  It looked like the worst.
The Unbreakable trilogy is very good, even though it is sometimes just dumb.
I want to give a shout out to "Devil" the one-room fantasy/mystery, which S wrote.  Strong Twilight Zone episode.

I might be underrating SIGNS, a film Ingmar Bergman would've made in another lifetime.

I find this pretty funny but it does have a lot of thematic parallels to his films about having a crisis of faith.

I guess while we're here...some of this I haven't seen in a while, buuuut...

The Sixth Sense
Signs
The Village
Unbreakable
After Earth

Rewatched The Sixth Sense relatively recently, and got more out of it than I expected. I don't understand a sort of resurgence for Unbreakable, it was borderline unwatchable for me. But then came After Earth. I'm impressed I stayed in the theater the whole time.
