I am absolutely thrilled you are doing this retrospective! M. Night's films are so interesting and amazing – each and every one – and it will be nice to revisit them all. I never realized The Sixth Sense was nominated for Best Picture! I think that is really neat. It's a great film, one of the better ones. And I'm with you – I couldn't figure out the twist either until it actually happened. And, wow, was it completely shocking. M. Night truly is a genius – there's no denying that.

The twist got me as well.
Jeff Gray's critique tells me he didn't get it. He seems determined to put it into one of the standard category boxes but Night's films are somewhere in a grey area inbetween the boxes.

That and the fact that you (at least I did) sympathize with the boy's fears and frustration makes this thing work. It's a little boy with a big burden, how can it not work on your feelings.

It drew me into the slow winding river with here and there a few small rapids but nothing that really gets your hart pumping when there was suddenly that big drop at the end.

I have no problem admitting the twist got me too. In fact it actually adds to the repeated viewings, it's interesting to see the small details that escape you in the initial viewing that woud have given away the twist.

M. Night is a genius filmmaker and I'm looking forward to his upcoming "The Happening." The subtleties and smallest details bring you back for more.

I am truly enjoying the retrospective. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

I think the red in the movie was supposed to represent if a ghost had touched the object or something of that sort. I'm not entirely sure…
