The packed crowd I watched Unbreakable with, on opening day, booed and yelled at the screen at the ending as they got up to leave the theatre. Of course, as always, Brenda and I watched the credits straight through to the end, but the crowd which was expecting The Sixth Sense II was really violently opposed to what they got. On the other hand, at the ending of Signs, I don't recall any hisses or boos. Signs was the last Night flick I saw at the theatre. Almost everybody and their evil twin seemed to love The Sixth Sense at the time of its release.
My fave scene in Unbreakable is the one where Willis finds a family held hostage, apparently in their own home, with the parents seemingly murdered. Willis makes his way up to a second story bedroom, and there is an awesome fight scene, with incredible music, where the combatants are each trying to break the other's back, and it all culminates in a surrealistic scene in a swimming pool with a cover. That scene was totally whack and unbelievable! I also like the ending and the way the film tried to recreate the imagery (including the borders [framing] of a comic book), but it was incredibly slow-paced. Night does move his films along rather slowly.
I've been watching all these recently with Sarah so I guess I agree Spider-Man 2 is the best of the Raimi ones but not by much. It does have the best action and character interaction so that puts it on top. Very entertaining, but still not on my ballot.
