Interesting. Of all his movies, I think The Village and Lady In The 
Water are my favourites! Although I think Unbreakable is excellent too.

I think his movies are often maligned somewhat unfairly, either by 
people who spend half the film looking for the twist and then saying it 
was crap because they spotted it (boasting), or people who spend half 
the film looking for the twist and then saying they didn't spot it 
because it was a crap twist (defensive). Both categories entirely fail 
to get anything from the movie as a result. Poor fools. This is one 
reason I like Lady In The Water particularly, because it's entirely 
without a twist.

I never spot twists in films anyway; I long ago learnt to concentrate on 
the 'now' in a film and immerse myself without trying to think ahead. 
This way, I get maximum enjoyment from it (twists are supposed to be 
unexpected, after all).
