[quote=Yoda]I'll put [i]Signs[/i] right up there, too. Some of the writing suffers a little, but it's [i]so[/i] well made technically (the score, the cinematography) and Gibson is tremendous in it.

Anyway, most people peg the decline right after that, including me. [i]The Village[/i] still has a lot of technical virtuosity, but it feels like someone doing an imitation of a good Shyamalan film, and a few of his efforts since haven't even had that high technical polish, either.[/quote]

[quote=Citizen Rules]Oh, I didn't realize he did, The Sixth Sense. I really liked it, the one time I seen it.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]The obvious picks for his best (and closest to essential) movies are [i]The Sixth Sense[/i] and [i]Unbreakable[/i]. The former was a Best Picture nominee for whatever that's worth (especially in 1999).[/quote]

[quote=Joel]Shyamalan. Shamrock. Apple. Bad apple. Luck. Bad luck. Shyamalan movie. Unlucky.[/quote]

[quote=Citizen Rules]I've seen one of his movies, the one with Joaquin Phoenix. It was in Raul's Top movie countdown so I watched it. That one was OK and kind of fun, not my thing but it had it's moments.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]I don't think you'll make it to the end of that one. I doubt anyone here would suggest it as a starting point anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Citizen Rules]I actually have a Shyamalan DVD that someone gave me, The Happening, I've never watched it...Maybe one day I'll get up my courage and just do it :p[/quote]

[quote=Joel]It was definitely needless to say, lol[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]Needless to say, it was never going to be for everyone.[/quote]

[quote=Citizen Rules]Just read this:
"Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities." Director Shyamalan

I'll pass.[/quote]

[quote=Joel]I remember how overwhelmingly bored I was when I saw the trailer for Glass. It probably doesn't help that I thought Unbreakable and Split were both marginal films.[/quote]
