I love this movie. I have a thing for the classic Mike Nichols melodrama.

"Shut Up and Play the Hits"

Fantastic. Only have Sound of Silver, so I went into it not being a superfan. Blown away by the live footage and really like the non-concert stuff as well. Cinematography was killer. Pretty sure I'll be listening to LCD Soundsystem all day tomorrow.

Yeah, this is an awesome movie. I saw it at a festival earlier this year. It made me feel really lucky to have had the chance to see the band during their final tour. Those MSG shows looked great.

It also made me kind of want a French Bulldog.

Unbreakable, again after about eight years.

Before X-Men & Spider Man helped perpetuate the superhero franchises to the point of creating expensive wastelands of cinema, M. Night came out with this well written & original story. Good movie. Well paced, well told. Add Sixth Sense & Signs, it's hard for me to ridicule M. Night, even after The Happening. I wish him the best of luck with each new project. Too bad that hasn't been working out too well lately!

I feel the exact same way. I have such high hopes for each new movie he does based on these films, but each time as more is revealed about them I get to the point where I just think 'Meh, maybe I'll catch it if it screens on TV'

I still haven't seen this one. I've avoided it for some reason.

I agree Sixth Sense and Signs were good movies. I even enjoy The Village. The rest have been pretty terrible though.

I'll take it a step further and say that I even enjoyed Lady in the Water, too. But Unbreakable is his best, I think.

I enjoyed it too. But The Happening was too much...i dont care about his movie anymore i think.

unbreakable was great. don't care for the others.

"The Village" was atrocious, save for some of its shots. I haven't seen "Unbreakable" since I was a kid, but I remember finding the ending really hilarious.

Meh. The Village was fun. Some stuff REALLY bugged me about it. I'd give it a C. It's like a long, middle tier, Twilight Zone episode.

Yeah I didn't care for it too much when I saw it in the theater. The M Night expectations were still to high at that point. But a few years later, I enjoyed it when it would randomly come on tv.

I'll watch Unbreakable next week.

It was fun indeed.

"Unbreakable" was M. Night Shyamlamalamalamian's best movie. The rest were terrible. Never understood the love for "The Sixth Sense."

Also, that Selena Gomez, Ethan Hawke movie has a 2% on Rotten Tomatoes. I might have to go see that shit.

That movie inspired pj´s new song.

a mother fucking trivia question before Sixth Sense ruined that one for me. I knew nothing of Unbreakable before seeing it.

This Must Be The Place. not what I expected. cute.

No one has made a movie about the supernatural quite like it before. Maybe The Exorcist to some degree. The twist ending garnered the attention, but really it was just a smart ghost story that fascinated people.

The World's End, brilliant!
