HE HAS DISTINCT PEAKS AND VALLEYS...THE FIRST FILM BEING THE "BEST" IS NORMAL...SAME AS FIRST ALBUMS...SO MUCH TIME AND THOUGHT GO INTO THAT FIRST CREATION...HARDLY EVER MATCHED ON LATER WORK.
shareI disagree.
His first few wide-release films were the best, no doubt about that. But I wouldn't put them in order from 1 to 4.
Signs may actually be my favorite M. Night film. After that, Unbreakable is probably the "better" film, but I might enjoy The Village more. At the very least I've felt compelled to watch The Village more often.
The Sixth Sense, which often is regarded as his best film, I actually put at the bottom of the four. It's a good movie, yes, but it's also the least rewatchable of all his early efforts and doesn't have the same consistent entertainment value.
