“The Sixth Sense” will often top lists ranking M. Night Shyamalan’s best movies. The 1999 supernatural horror drama made a star out of Shyamalan, earning him Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. “The Sixth Sense” was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Film Editing, Best Supporting Actor for Haley Joel Osment, and Best Supporting Actress for Toni Collette. At the box office, it grossed just over $670 million on a $40 million production budget. And yet, “The Sixth Sense” is not the Shyamalan movie Shyamalan loves most.
Asked recently by GQ magazine to name “his favorites of his oeuvre,” Shyamalan answered, “The ones I have most affinity for are the ones that have maintained that quirky nature. ‘Unbreakable,’ and ‘Lady in the Water,’ and ‘The Visit,’ and this movie [‘Old’]…the ones that are poky.”
Some moviegoers might be surprised to hear Shyamalan prefers a film like “Lady in the Water” over “The Sixth Sense.
