And the winner is...
This is it! After 106 votes for your favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie, the results have been tallied. If you think 106 votes is too small to dictate a proper majority...hey, I was getting anxious to put up another poll, OK?
According to the poll, everyone's favorite M. Night movie was:
1. The Sixth Sense (44 votes, 42%) To which I say, big surprise...
2. Unbreakable (23 votes, 22%) This was a bit of a surprise. Most girls I know hated this movies (forgive the blanket statement, but it's true), and most guys loved it. It's definitely the whole superhero thing.
3. Signs (22 votes, 21%) Thought this was a dead lock for second or first, and it might have ended that way had I left it alone.
4. The Village (9 votes, 8%) Well, it was my favorite. You can't account for taste.
5. Six voters (6%) said they were all so good they couldn't choose, and 2 voters said they liked one of his older ones. Older ones, you ask with a look of confusion on your face? Yes, it's true! He made two older movies that were put to the theaters, I believe: Wide Awake, which was about a young catholic boy struggling with questions of faith after a death in the family, which also cast Rosie O'Donnell as a catholic nun (go figure...), and Praying With Anger, which I could not locate on the web for the life of me.
There it is, webfans. Please vote on my new poll, which is sure to have some controversial results...Stay tuned.

You liked The Village that much? I may have ruined it for myself because I went into it expecting greatness and then felt cheated by the back story. I think I preferred Signs to Unbreakable, which would have been a no-brainer if he had only left the aliens invisible. Well, there you have it, my two cents.
I voted for The Sixth Sense. It's the best movie as a whole package compaired to the others.
i thought signs would've done better as well. ;)
I'm surprised by "Unbreakable" in second, but I voted for it. It's really an underappreciated film, a really fantastic exploration of the most interesting part of any superhero story: how they discover they're a superhero and what being ANY hero means, even a hero to your kid.
I can't not stop tearing up at the end when his son realizes his dad is what he hoped he was, just like in "The Sixth Sense" that remarkable scene with the kid and his mom in the car. God, that scene rips me apart. Just a filmmaker on top of his game.
Thanks for the cool poll.
Well, obviously they got it all wrong.
It was most definately The Village. ;o)~
I mentioned before in a comment to another post that I voted for Signs. I laughed and cried so much in that movie it was just amazing and the acting was awesome!
Oh ya and it had the BEST trailer ever! I loved that we really had no idea what the movie was going to be about before we saw it. And he didn't spoil the movie by putting all the best parts of the movie in the trailer like a lot of other movie trailers do.
Yeah, that's a really good point. The marketing of "Sixth Sense" was just superb. It made it appear to be a typical little horror movie and when people saw it, with no idea what to expect, it wowed the hell out of them and they told everyone they knew. A great example of the power of word-of-mouth advertising.
