Voted for the only one I've ever owned. The Crow. Iron Man is a better movie by most metrics, but I wouldn't put it as my personal favorite. Unbreakable is probably a very close second.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I would only disagree with the "may even be" part; for me, it's one of my all time favoritesThe Dreaming wrote:Unbreakable is such a misunderstood movie. It may even be Shamylan's best. (In retrospect, yeah. I like it more than the 6th Sense)

I'm of the opinion these days that when his films work it's not because of Shyamalan but despite him. In Unbreakable, his particular stylistic quirks fit together with the story to make something very good - another director with the same story might have made a more traditional superhero origin; the slow pace, restrained acting and tone Shyamalan used turned it into something unique in the genre and highly evocative.
well put murrin. i agree.
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
