unbreakable is the only one that really has replay value IMO, i actually watched it last night

but for the most part, the movies with the sudden twists at the end really cant be watched multiple times, because of lot of these movies rely almost entirely on the twist ending to justify the rest of the movie, and when the twist is no longer a real shock, the rest of the movie just doesnt work as well

I love all of his films, but I do agree with this.

Just saw Signs on TV not too long ago and enjoyed it. Unbreakable is another that I could watch again.

Never seen Lady in the Water, but all the rest have major twists that if you've seen it before will ruin the movie.

Oh and The Happening sucked balls!

chemokidd · 08-21-2009, 07:54 PM

I enjoyed lady in the water....I really need to see breakable again.

Masterpiece.

Me too. Makes perfect sense!

UNBREAKABLE has a lot of replay value. There is something I glean upon each viewing. What I love about the film is that you can watch it as a story between two men who's lives oddly intersect, or you can view it as a comic origin story. Incredible film making!!

Unbreakable

P@t_Mtl · 08-24-2009, 03:36 PM

So far, none for me

Iron-Blu-123 · 08-24-2009, 03:45 PM

Unbreakable

Unbreakable
You see, the twist is not the point...it's the superhero coming of age and the incredible atmosphere & soundtrack that really shines in this flick!

Signs
Again..the "aliens" story is really the backseat driver to the cosmic question of "is life a series of coincidences?" or "part of God's plan for us?".

One of my 2 fave films..of any genre!

Ernest Rister · 08-24-2009, 04:08 PM

Personally, I want to see a Signs 2 where Iowans take up arms agasint their alien invaders using lawn sprinklers, slip-n-slides, and water balloons. I want to see a 400 lb. 60-yr.old woman wearing a mumu and her hair in curlers spraying aliens off her lawn with her water hose.

CMM · 08-24-2009, 04:10 PM

Well, I only liked Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. Sixth Sense is all about the ending... so Unbreakable got the vote.

Col. Zombie · 08-24-2009, 04:29 PM

I would have to go with Unbreakable, Signs, and The Sixth Sense. All the rest didn't appeal to me at all.
