Why pay more for less?.......2005-02-13

I'm puzzled as to why anyone should pay $59.39 for these three DVDs that currently retail on Amazon for $11.24 (Signs), $14.99 (Unbreakable), and $26.99 (Sixth Sense*) totaling $53.22?

*There is also a less expenseive "Collector's Version" of the Sixth Sense that only costs $14.99 if you'd rather not pay the $12.00 for the "Vista Series" extras.

I'm also skeptical as to whether the version of Unbreakable sold here has as much content as the Vista series edition sold seperately that contains 2 discs (I assume this edition does not because this box set only includes 3 discs, 1 per movie).

I love the movies, but where's the price break on buying them all together when the package is $6.17-$18.17 more than purchasing these DVD's seperately???

Why you shouldn't buy the collectors edition of Sixth Sense.......2005-01-18

EDIT - In response to the more recent review it should be noted that the less expensive version of The Sixth Sense you are suggesting people buy has no DTS 5.1 track on it, therefore if you have a home theatre system you are much better off buying the DTS edition.

The Other Movie.......2004-10-14

Backing up the review that pointed out M. Night Shyamalan's earlier films the other movie is titled Praying With Anger(also did screen play for Stuart Little). All three movies in the box set are great and worth watching again and again.

Set of good movies........2004-05-27

If you absolutly love M Night Shymalan's suspense thrillers, then this is a great deal because these are his three best movies packaged together.

Unbreakable will tighten its grip on you, as you watch it.......2006-07-16

If we push the limits of the possible, which is a key theme of the movie, who knows what this will unleash in ourselves. An intentionally understated Bruce Willis and overstated Samuel L. Jackson explore the Superman as Everyman theme. Another key theme, is the exploration of good and evil, in terms of means and ends, which is presented in many very interesting scenes. (If a student needs a movie with meat on it, to write a review, this is definitely one to pick). The movie builds to a very suspenseful conclusion, and then to an extraordinary coda. So, don't wander off before the movie is finished. Stay with it, and the movie will definitely stay with you.

One of the most underrated films in recent memory.......2002-04-16

Imagine the most realistic Issue #1 comic book movie. A film in the same vein as Batman and Superman but done in a very realistic way. Remember, it still is a comic book movie, just on the surface it doesn't quite seem that way even with this Elijah character constantly referring to comic books and superheroes. My friends, I give you Unbreakable. It is THE best superhero film since 1992's Batman Returns. The film has suspense,mystery,drama, and good old fashioned good vs. evil. It is too bad that this film wasn't nominated at least for it's stellar score. The film and score was underrated in my opinion but now that it is on DVD you shouldn't miss out on this gem!

Really ticked off.......2001-11-11

Hollywood Pictures Home Video held me hostage for ten minutes after inserting The Sixth Sense into my DVD Player. I was unable to fast-forward past the previews and the menu button was disabled. I am really ticked off that, after paying for this movie, the author of this DVD insists on wasting ten minutes of my life every time I watch this movie to force me to watch their movie previews over and over again. Life is too short. If I am forced to watch ten minutes of commercials everytime I play this DVD, then the DVD should have been given to me for free. I paid money to own this video so I can watch it on my own time and at my convenience. I refuse to own any movie which sucks my life away from me, even ten minutes of it. Life is too short. Do not buy this release. (btw - I liked the movie)

Incredible Unbreakable.......2001-10-26

This movie has restored my faith in the ability of Hollywood to produce movies that are worth watching. Before I watched this movie, I expected an obvious play on the Sixth Sense motifs and ideas. What I found, to my pleasant surprise, was a well-thought out, well-written movie about an unknowing hero. Bruce Willis gives a good performance alongside Samuel L. Jackson. I found myself enjoying the well-developed storyline along the way, and when I reached the ending, the movie took on a whole new depth as the last piece of information was revealed. I would highly recommend this movie to any fantasy/drama/thriller fan.

Two Great Movies.......2001-05-25

These are two excellent movies by one excellent Director: M. Night Shamalyam. His direction and storywriting is consistently good, and his movies explore more supernatural topics such as sixth senses and good vs. evil. Bruce Willis' acting in both is great as well. Pick this up today.
