I liked "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs".

I thought both those movies were great! I stayed away from "The Village" simply because I was sick and tired of all the advertising. In your opinion, on a scale of 1-10, what would you give:

• The Sixth Sense
• Signs
• The Village

Thanks!

I'd give:
Signs 10
Unbreakable 7
Sixth Sense 9-9.5

Village - You owe ME points for seeing it.

The Sixth Sense: 10

Signs: 8

The Village: 2

The Sixth Sense worked, because it avoided glaringly obvious flaws in its internal logic (i.e. if you take it as a postulate of the story universe that this kid can see the dead, the story hangs together reasonably well). Signs and The Village didn't work, because even if you accept the story premise, your suspension of disbelief gets knocked out of kilter by things that make no sense and happen only because It's In The Script.

Signs was pretty stupid. Aliens that can be hurt by water landing on a planet that is 70% covered by water?

And they don't have guns, just their little poison gas spitter?

Living on a farm in country and no guns?

If I was worried about a critter in my cornfield, I would call Bubba and Billy Jeff, ask 'em to bring their shotguns and deer rifles and have 'em cover me while I ran the combine through the fields. Doesn't matter which the critter tangles with, he's gonna be a mess.

I know that wasn't the real story, but if you don't craft the background decently, us nitpickers will be all over it.
Overall, on a scale of 1-5, it gets a 2 - marginally watchable, but I regret paying money for it...
