>RE: He is a great director

Yeah, he is. I tend to lump directing and writing together in his case, but the problems I have with his bad movies (Lady, Happening, Signs to a lesser degree) are with the plot/story, and not the directing.


>all of his films are visually good, I love them all for how
>he can create a sense of fear/anxiety/what have you when there
>is really nothing there.

That's true. Even Lady in the Water was visually cool. That's about the only compliment I can give.


>my list goes

>Sixth Sense
>Signs
>The Village
>Unbreakable
>The Happening
>Lady in the water

Interesting to see Signs so high and Unbreakable relatively low. Lady in the Water and Happening in the bottom two slots seems to be pretty constant, as with Sixth Sense at #1.

Yeah, even though I haven't seen it, I know the plot and it sounds super dumb. I'm pretty sure I won't like it so I don't wanna bother. Maybe I'll eventually check it out on Netflix. But that's probably only if anyone I know says they actually liked it.

I do like his endings, usually. Although in the case of Signs, the ending pretty much ruined what could have been a good movie.
