It had been a while since I had seen this movie and started watching after it had begun. I wondered while seeing Willis character wearing a labeled FSU shirt and Poncho was there any ties of M. Night or Bruce Willis and FSU? Or did they just used the popular team at that time in 2000? Was the setting even supposed to be in Tallahassee and was FSU the college team the character played at?

The movie is based in Philadelphia, the university was Temple, not sure about the Fsu poncho maybe he just wanted to see what a badazz feels like

I could not disagree more. My personal favorite MNS movie and very under-rated. Can't wait for the 3rd installment next year.
I'd put sixth sense first and then unbreakable. I'm really excited about the upcoming sequel.

The only other movie he's ever done that I liked was the one with the people living in the woods who's name escapes me right now.
 
Was supposedly “Franklin state university”. The poncho sold for $3006 at auction in 2013.

I liked the Village. Had some good actors in it and an interesting premise. The thought of that blind girl going out into the unknown like that...

And the first sight of the "creatures" gave similar chills to that quick sighting of the alien in "signs."
 
I liked Unbreakable, but i think The Visit is MNS best film since Sixth Sense and Signs.

The Village i figured out in 10 minutes.
 
I am not a big comic book fan, so Unbreakable fell a bit flat for me. Nevertheless, I liked it as an interesting take on the genre.

I loved The Village and Signs, and I also really liked Lady in the Water and The Happening. The Visit was a fun horror movie, but it felt a bit generic to me. After Earth and The Last Airbender were just terrible.
 
Really liked Unbreakable and the related sequel Split. A "real world" and dark take on the superhero genre before Superhero revival began.

I'm a bit of an MNS fan, as much as someone can be. I even liked Lady in the Water. But I didn't like Unbreakable when I first watched it. But then I listened to people rave about how great it was all these years.

Watched Split, and loved it. Got a charge out of the reveal.

Went back and watched Unbreakable again, this time with my son. NOPE...I just don't see it. Dumb, and super boring. Still looking forward to Glass, because I liked Split, but Unbreakable is just never going to work for me I guess.
 
What can I say - I liked it well enough.

Then again, my bar for being entertained by a movie is pretty low.

I gotta agree, I liked it well enough as well. Really liked the "normal person" struggling to find his nemesis aspect. Much less grandiose than a superhero flying around looking for a fight. The subtle nature of it.

Can't really think of a MNS movie I really love. Unbreakable is bad. Split wasn't that good, either.
