[@hendermanh5767]

I still think Unbreakable is the only superhero film that actually empowers me.

[@jordansweet8054]

The fight scene and its pay off hit me on the same level Schindler's List and The Shining did honestly.

[@BishopWalters12]

Unbreakable, The Crow and V for Vendetta are the only comic book movies that really get better with age because they put good storytelling above action or CGI. Most movies in that genre age like milk.

[@jordansweet8054]

@@BishopWalters12 I love a lot of modern ones but some really last better than others.

[@noobmasterruben5167]

wait Into the Spiderverse and Logan were not empowering?

[@TheVideomaster64Reborn]

i did not like Unbreakable nothing happened in it and they never show Bruce Willis super powers or the train crash he always skips out on the exciting things in his movies unbreakable feels like a superhero version of signs unbreakable it doesn't even feel like a superhero movie that's cool you like the movie though but I think it sucks

[@bradhend]

James McAvoy in Split is a career performance. Should be up there as an all timer.

[@TheVideomaster64Reborn]

split was okay I don't think I'll ever watch it again though

[@jacksonscott690]

Everyone that I’ve shown Unbreakable for the first time has been blown away. The movie was far ahead of its time.

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Overrated

[@krunobakota9502]

I personally adore "The Village" and feel that on second view without preconcieved notions, it displays quality story telling.

[@CoolMovieRatings]

Same, it’s very underrated.

[@szen2869]

100% agree 👍🏻 👏🏻

[@joshrichardson5290]

I think the “twist” just hammers home the theme of escaping grief regardless of when the grief occurred. It’s impossible to run from.

[@Judgeholden95]

My personal favorite

[@EmpiresDawn]

SUCH a good movie. Never got any of the complaints.

[@dinocollins720]

Shyamalan has an overlooked talent of finding and casting incredible actors!!!

[@lurkzie]

Glass could have been such an amazing movie in the hands of a more competent team of writers because the characters were so well written

[@liamphibia]

I'll never get over Marky Mark's: "Whaaat? Nooo!"😂

[@TheVideomaster64Reborn]

I think the happening is M Night shyamalan's best movie I didn't think it was boring and something actually happened in it

[@joshrichardson5290]

For the Village I think the “twist” just hammers home the theme of escaping grief regardless of when the grief occurred. It’s impossible to run from. For me it made the whole film click into place.

[@zaneramsey]

I agree as well. People don’t necessarily have to like the movie or the twist, but it definitely ties in everything that the characters were thinking and believing

[@KC-nn4mw]

Interesting to see how much Signs and Split have moved up on your list since the last time you ranked M Night’s movies. I watched Signs about a month ago and after I watched it, I was like I have to see Sean’s ranking! Surprised me it was so low! Same goes for Split, it has to be one of my favourite movies ever and seeing that low in your last time was a big surprise too. It’s crazy how time ages movies in the best ways sometimes :)

[@dannyschulz9016]

I have t seen all of his films so I’ll give a top 5 ranking: 1. The Sixth Sense 2. Signs 3. Unbreakable 4. Split 5. Knock at the Cabin The Sixth Sense is one of my favorite movies of all time, when I saw it as a kid the ghosts scared me and the twist floored me. Signs is also another favorite of mine. Unbreakable is an amazing movie but I don’t have the same nostalgia like I do for the top 2 which factors into the placement. Split amazing. Knock I enjoyed a lot, it may drop a spot after I give it time, but for now I really liked it, definitely my favorite from him since Split.

[@TheVideomaster64Reborn]

I thought the Sixth Sense was all right there could have been more scary stuff in it the ending was great though I thought unbreakable and signs both sucked and split was okay I'm just not sure if I'll ever watched again it's cool you like his movie though I just think his movies are so boring

[@NinthShinigami]

Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense are easily my favorite of his films 👍 but as a huge Avatar fan, The Last Airbender is one of my least favorite movies of all time 😂

[@f4gsforpele]

Yeah A:TLA is one of the worst movies ever made lol

[@MichaelTomsyck]

I don’t know how to all of M. Night’s movies because so many of them are mediocre to terrible, but upon rewatching The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs over the last two weeks, I can say that all three of those movies are phenomenal films that are basically perfect versions of the movies that M. Night was going for.

[@josephdefilippis07]

I read that M Night wanted to do Last Airbender as a film of his that his family could watch since they all liked the show

[@jets9629]

My Top 3 Favorite M. Night Shyamalan Movie are Easley Going to be 1. Unbreakable 2. The sixth sense 3. Signs Those three are just absolutely phenomenal movies.

[@wTurbo]

Signs is hands down my favorite M Night movie. I love all of the performances and it was always on at my Grandma’s house as a kid and since she has passed the movie means so much more to me. Unbeatable is a close second though!

[@mitchellphillips4691]

I’m really liking the set and production design on your videos Sean. I know it’s a lot of work most people wouldn’t notice. Lol

[@jblitz1556]

I honestly love M. Night. There's no other live-action American director working right now (Michael Mann, Ang Lee, and Steven Soderbergh are the only other ones I can think of), so willing to experiment with form (both in directing and writing) in ways that bring out so much character as he is. For all but one of his films, almost everything needs a shift in perspective to really understand. He's more meticulous and honestly more sentimental than most people give him credit for. My List: Terrible: 15. Avatar: The Last Airbender (I appreciate how he's homaging Hong Kong greats and it means that some shots or scenes are almost exciting, but there's very little else to defend here) 14. After Earth (Snooze...) Bad: 13. Praying with Anger (Maybe it's fitting that someone as eclectic as him starts here.) Mediocre: 12. Wide Awake (A pitch-black comedy. I found some of it kinda funny but definitely not all that good.) Good: 11. Lady in the Water (About as complete a work of personal therapy as The Fabelmans. Sure it's undercooked and the self-indulgence is very silly, but the images and way he manages to create a sorta magic about escaping into fantasy during difficult times is felt at times. Silly, but sincere.) 10. The Happening (Something unsettling about the humour and horror at the same time captures a uniquely off-kilter atmosphere. The dialogue itself is bizarre but it does a really good job of capturing the anxiety and the feeling of coping with loss.) Great: 9. Split (A tingling, tight lil psycho-thriller. All of the performances are amazing and Shyamalan plays his formal hand all too perfectly.) 8. Glass (The first 40 minutes are kinda boring but the rest is terrific. Slow-burn character study and a terrific thriller with a genuinely brilliant anti-climax, even if the final scene itself is a bit stiff. Sam Jackson's best performance.) 7. Knock At the Cabin (M. Night is always very economical with his storytelling and I think this is probably the best way to see it.) 6. Old (This is some all-time great atmospheric filmmaking for me. Some of the dialogue is clunky but the specificity he can get out of these performances and those strange lines perfectly suits the situation and everything before the terrible finale is so tightly constructed.) 5. The Sixth Sense (Probably his safest film which is why it's the most popular. Does almost everything right, not much else to say.) 4. Unbreakable (Being edgy right when it was cool, but it doesn't mean he skimps on character. No no, it's a good, mature psychological superhero portrait that will only age better.) Excellent: 3. The Village (I dunno man, I just get very emotional about this. It's a devastating portrayal of a society learning to survive in a world of pain. I think every piece of this is so precisely constructed and impactful.) 2. Signs (The most Spielbergian film he could possibly make. Basically what you said, it's distinctly and bluntly human, and the flourishing dramatic and comedic touches let this cover all bases so effectively. Really terrific stuff.) 1. The Visit (Kind of amazing, mainstream experimental cinema with just the right touches of comedy and drama. Shyamalan has so many great ideas with found footage and every scene is just tingling with excitement that he can pick up a camera and play with perspective like this. The characters are nuanced and fascinating, it all comes together to make a devastating family drama while being a horror movie. Absolutely terrific stuff.)

[@jblitz1556]

@Chuck Buskee What makes you say that?

[@jblitz1556]

@Chuck Buskee In terms of working directors that aren't actually experimental (Jodie Mack and Don Hertzfeldt), who else is there? In comparison to most of the ones I could think of, M. Night seems almost radical.

[@jblitz1556]

@Chuck Buskee Mind giving some examples? I'm thinking of some of the big ones (James Wan, Mike Flanagan, Karyn Kusama, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Jennifer Kent, Andy Muschietti, Guillermo del Toro), and maybe the only one I could see what you mean is Jordan Peele.

[@jblitz1556]

@Chuck Buskee I'll definitely give ya Eggers, not sure why I didn't include him. I like Aster fine enough but he kinda just uses the 70s playbook in both writing and directing. Lynch definitely would've been included but I swear I read somewhere that he's done with features and if anything will only make shorts and very possibly TV now (ie. not exactly working anymore). Might not be true but I remember that being on my mind when I wrote that comment. I still think M. Night consistently takes his style into new, exciting directions (especially after The Visit) and that's something I associate with Soderbergh, Mann, and Ang Lee.

[@alchapo5372]

My parents watched signs when I was a child, I saw it and was immediately traumatized That movie scares me to this day, but i love it. As an adult now, I really appreciate the drama side of it. Along with my love of aliens, it feels like a perfect film to me.

Something so validating when Sean is up to his top 3 and you know exactly what they are going to be.

[@MrBooligan]

I liked the idea of The Visit a lot more than the execution. I found it much weirder than it was scary but I didn't hate it. It's the only M Night movie I've seen but I'm going to check out his others soon

[@chrisalextime94]

I haven’t seen all of his films, but here’s the five films I have seen: #5: The Happening, Now even though it’s in last place I actually don’t hate this movie, I think it works well enough, I know it has its flaws and the casting of Mark Wahlberg isn’t the best choice, but I still find it watchable and it works for me. “You have a problem with that?” #4: The Village, I get what you mean how Shyamalan was just spinning his wheels to develop the twist, “Well, agree to disagree,” but I don’t think it’s bad, I was actually shocked with the twist of Noah being the monster and the cast is pretty great here so I like it. #3: The Sixth Sense, To be perfectly clear there’s a massive jump from The Village to The Sixth Sense, it does a fantastic job at distracting you with the mystery about the boy, and then the twist is absolutely iconic, and the characters are people you actually care about so when the twist happens, you’re shocked and you feel sorry for Bruce Willis’s character, so one of the best films of all time. #2: Unbreakable, an M. Night Shyamalan film that is also a comic book movie, and it’s awesome, it’s not about the action and spends it’s time developing the characters, combine that all with the twist and it makes a close second of the list. #1: Signs, I love this movie so much and rewatching it recently just made me like it even more, it works so well with setting up little details that actually become the most important pieces of the twist, all of the actors are perfect, and the ending is so uplifting and all of it makes it my favorite Shyamalan film.

[@LockSue]

My #1 is Signs because of the redemption of each character in their own way

[@nms7872]

M. Night is a lot more "hit" for me than "miss" (havent seen after earth, lady in water or airbender) Worst - The Happening - a great comedy 9. The Visit - solid thriller with great comedy 8. Old - really interesting mix of bad dialogue, unintentional comedy, strong suspense and a cool concept 7. Knock At The Cabin - very effective thriller with great performances 6. Glass - interesting trilogy closer 5. The Village - Roger Deakins wow 4. Sixth Sense 3./2/ Unbreakable/ Signs 1. Split - great twist, suspense and interesting character dynamics (of course, McAvoy is incredible)

The Village and Lady in the Water surprisingly have a strong cult following among his fans. I don't think anyone can argue that The Happening, Last Airbender, and After Earth were his dark period. I genuinely enjoyed Split and Glass as a trilogy for Unbreakable. He seems to be getting back to his strengths as a storyteller recently.

Lady in the Water was a misfire but somewhat interesting. The Village is a sleeping pill without the side effects.

Strongly disagree about several of these. The Village is a much-maligned movie, for reasons I don’t fully understand. Old is kind of a bad movie, I admit. But Glass is a very thoughtful movie, albeit that it subverts expectations in a way that will make some people angry. I think it’s a pretty well thought out depiction of how we would actually treat superheroes if they existed. Split doesn’t belong above The Village imo. The Happening is hilarious garbage, though, agreed.

Hey Sean just curious have you watched the avatar the last Airbender show? And do you think the Netflix adaptation will at least be better than M Night's take?

I'm cautiously optimistic. You can't improve on perfection, so I don't feel the adaptation is necessary. But I'm always ready to be pleasantly surprised!

[@jokerswildio]

Though it goes near the level of sublime quality as The Sixth Sense (his masterpiece) and Unbreakable (his other masterpiece), I enjoyed Wide Awake--it was a great sophomore effort told through a child's eye, it really captured the zeitgeist feel of both the 90s and what Catholic school is like (I'm a product of both 90s and Catholic upbringing so I know), finally the message is all in the title...if you are "awake" enough to get it.

Of the ones I’ve seen 6. Old 5. Knock At The Cabin 4. Glass 3. Split 2. The Sixth Sense 1. Unbreakable There’s a spiteful side of me that wants to put Glass on the bottom because of the ending but I was on the edge of my seat fully sucked in for 80% of the movie so I can’t do it

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I completely agree with you on Unbreakable. I think it is his best movie personally my overall ranking would be: 1. Unbreakable 2. The Sixth Sense 3. Split 4. Signs 5. The Village 6. Knock at the Cabin 7. Glass 8. The Visit 9. The Happening 10. Wide Awake 11. Lady in the Water 12. Old 13. The Last Airbender 14. After Earth

[@BishopWalters12]

I've only walked out of two movies in my whole life and The Village was one of the two. I haven't watched the new one yet. My list 1. Unbreakable gets better with age 2. The Sixth Sense also gets better with age and it's fun even knowing the twist 3. Split was a great comeback 4. Signs, I'm still mixed on the 3rd act but most of it was pretty good 5. The Visit was one of the very few found footage movies that I have liked over the years 6. Glass, it was ok and the good outweigh the bad but this could've been an all time great trilogy if Glass was a little better 7. Wide Awake is cute family movie 8. The Lady in the Water is a misfire but I respect some things about it and I think it gets too much hate. I can't even rank the rest because they're all terrible from this point on, Like I said, The Village was so terrible and I couldn't even finish it in theaters. I guess that one goes at the very bottom.

Somehow I haven't seen a single M Night movie. I don't know how that happened.

Split is a perfect thriller for those who want to get into the “more spooky movies”

[@davidbaker6157]

I’m new here (great content btw) so I don’t know but are you only a movie guy? I only ask because The Last Airbender is too high at “tied for last” (especially being discussed second). It’s objectively terrible on its own merits but even more so after you compare it to the (high quality of the) source material. It’s probably in my bottom 3 or even bottom 2 films I’ve ever had the misfortune to watch but that’s just my two cents; keep up the good work. Have a good one!

[@pougiourosseroxat]

I ve seen Sixth Sense it blew my mind!! I ve seen Unbreakable, i absolutely loved it. I ve seen Signs, i found it intriguing at first but boring at the end I ve seen The Village that everyone hates, and i really liked the fact that i was being played the whole time when the twist ending came. I found it to be mindblowing and clever. The film was overall atmospheric and almost hypnotic in a good way. I didnt know at the time what was everyone talking about, about hating it. Up to that point for me M.N.Shymalan was a genious. Then Lady in the Water came and after that every new entry of his was getting worse and more stupid than the previous one. My hopes were getting bigger again while watching the Visit but then again Glass, Old and Knock on the Cabin happened. At the end of the day he had all the potential to be one of the biggest directors in hollywood but being stuck in the logic of finding twist endings, casting his movies constalty in the most bizare and out of place way and finding weaker and weaker stories to adopt helped me finally conclude that he is pretendious and mediocre at best. Seems to me after all these years that his masterpieces (the 6th sense and unbreakable) came out of pure luck and nothing else. After Earth, The Last Airbender, Lady in the Water, The Happeining, Old and Knock on the Cabin may be the worst movies ever reached the silver screen. I am done with you mr M.Night. Enough is enough

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I agree with you on The Village. Personally I think it’s underrated but that’s just my opinion. This would be my ranking of his films: 1. Unbreakable 2. The Sixth Sense 3. Split 4. Signs 5. The Village 6. Knock at the Cabin 7. Glass 8. The Visit 9. The Happening 10. Wide Awake 11. Lady in the Water 12. Old 13. The Last Airbender 14. After Earth

[@rylan_reviews6493]

Sixth Sense is one that absolutely clicks for me on every level by the end. Unbreakable and Signs are highly underrated movies that are emotionally satisfying too. The Visit is a very cool movie too. Not amazing but it’s effective. The Village has some awesome moments but it feels like it only exists for the twist. Glass starts extremely promising and has one of the worst endings I’ve seen to a movie. The Happening is horrible but it’s fun to watch and laugh at.

[@melanie62954]

Shyamalan is one of my favorite directors, but he ONLY works when he has a small, emotionally repressed cast in an isolated setting. My rankings sans Knock at the Cabin: 1. The Sixth Sense 2. Signs 3. Unbreakable 4. Split 5. The Village (has problems, but I love it) . 6. The Visit (I can't get over the diaper scene, even years later) 7. Glass (the logic of the ending doesn't even deliver what it thinks it delivers. So disappointing after the banger 1st half) 8. Lady in the Water (self-indulgent, but it has a strange charm) 9. The Happening (absurdist hilarity) . 10. Wide Awake (boring) 11. Old (stupid) 12. After Earth (very boring) . . . . . . . The Last Airbender (unranked because it's worse than any film he will ever make)

Crescendo is the act of getting bigger, it's not a culmination, it's what leads to the culmination.

I agree. The Happening is so bad its good I can appreciate that its hilarious way better than watching a woke movie like Lightyear, Dark Fate or Ghostbusters 2016

[@Minnesota_Central]

@@noobmasterruben5167 those woke movies make anyother bad film look so appealing. I watched the mist for the first time last month and all I could think about was how on earth I could go back in time and stop myself from wasting 2 hours of my life watching one of the worst films I have ever seen. Yet compared to those films you mentioned hell, the movie doesn't look bad at all. 😭😂

[@chasehedges6775]

M Night Shymalan is one of the best and worst directors of all time.

I was looking forward so much to Glass. And two thirds of it is actually damn good……..and absolutely no one has anything else to say about it
