the difference, to me, would be that Fight Club is actually about something and has an artistic statement which supersedes the "twists", whereas the Sixth Sense is just the "twist".
you can like whichever, as I said before, if it isn't genre revolutionizing or of a very interesting or challenging artistic perspective, I'm not really interested. Obviously this is a matter of personal taste. Hell, some people actually went to watch the transformers movies

I thought that the concept was of a man, still in love, that couldn't let go of the past and was blind to reality. I thought the underlying story/point was of the exploration of the paranormal and how some spirits have difficulty passing on.
Of the ones I've seen...
The Sixth Sense: very nicely played. Probably his best, IMO.
Unbreakable: cool. Nice spin on the "superhero."
Signs: sort of disappointing (very few alien shots, and again the standard humanoid). But the end kind of pulled it together. Not bad.
The Village: now knowing how M operates (and being a long-time fan of scifi), I sort of knew where the film was going (fake monster = disappointing). Had no where near the twist-at-the-end shock value of Sixth Sense or even Signs. But Bryce was a joy to behold. Boy did Opie bang the right woman.
Lady in the Water. Meps. I felt M was pushing it.
The Happening. Little better than Lady/Water. "We've seen this theme, M. What else ya got?"

I still thought it was a waste of my time and money /shrug
you probably aren't going to convince me otherwise. In fact, the sixth sense is the movie my friends and I refer to when talking about trite, awful movies that make an attempt at being artistic.

My opinion is worthless because I liked both Transformer films. 😬
Like most of his movies especially The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable &
Signs, but found "the village" a bit too weird and boring.
Looking forward to "the last airbender" , enjoyed the cartoon series which one movie obviously won´t top.
Keep looking to find "the lady in the water" but not watched it yet, Ive heard its good. Any opinions on this particular movie?
