The Sixth Sense was alright, I spose. The Village is hilariously awful. Not seen Signs, I don't do Gibson.
But, Unbreakable is a very good movie, I enjoyed that loads and wish it could have been longer. To my surprise, and despite it having many things wrong with it, I found many things to like about Lady In The Water, and I'd watch it (and Unbreakable) again.
I liked Unbreakable a lot, but the fact that M. Night ImaynothavesaideverysinglesyllablebutbasicallyIsaidhissurname was trying for a comic-book motif despite having obviously never picked up a comic in his life niggled with me a bit.

"Do you know how to tell who the arch-villain is in a comic-book? He's the exact opposite of the hero!" says Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson.
"No, he fucking isn't!" say Doctor Doom, Two-Face, The Red Skull, Sleepman, Judge Death, the Lizard, Venom and almost everyone Iron Man ever engaged in fisticuffsmanship. The usual schtick with yer average arch-nemesis is "There But For The Grace Of God Go I", actually. Alright, I'll give you the Joker, the Kingpin and a couple of the little brainy types that the Hulk fought from time to time. Even so.
Signs, though... my God. Worst. Aliens. Ever.
