I liked The Others, have only seen bits and parts of Open Your Eyes and The Sea Inside.

two made me cry, 2/5 ain't bad, better than any director I can think of, he is rather sentimental, and EPIC.

1 - OPEN YOUR EYES 10/10
2 - SEA INSIDE 9/10
3 - THESIS 7/10
4 - AGORA 7/10
5 - THE OTHERS 6.5/10

1. The Others
2. Open Your Eyes

Like them both, The Others quite a bit.  But I prefer Vanilla Sky to Open Your Eyes.

My hatred of The Sea Inside obscures my mild liking of what else I've seen.

I've only seen two and they are both among my favorites- The Others and The Sea Inside.

I guess I have to go with The Sea Inside, tough choice.
