Of all I've seen, The Village is the winner... amazingly unpredictable

I thought Unbreakable really dragged too much, and I was totally with Signs until the very end (I didn't want to see the damn alien!  It was much creepier with only small glimpses.)  But the Sixth Sense is a classic, and I really enjoyed Lady in the Water and the Village, despite how much everyone i know hated those movies.  Night's style is really his own and I like it.

I hate his manipulative directorship. I can not deny, i enjoyed 6'th Sense while watching. But by just showing the details or scenes which you want the audience to see(which aims to surprise to shock the audience), or showing all the movie from the perspective of the characters who are sure about the non-truth (like in The Village) and forcing the scenes to adapt to your aim is nothing but a cheap trick i believe.
 
Shortly, if everyone is shocked by the end of a film -no matter their intelligence, wisdom, education, age etc- , this shows that movie sucksTongue

Unbreakable was decent... but I'm not a fan of his films at all.  He's a broken record... water-water-water-water-water ad infinitum.
