I have loved this film from the day I first saw it in the theatres some 10 years ago! Altho' I always know the outcome, the excellent acting of (then) young Haley Joel Osment, and the palpable chemistry between him & both his mother (played by Toni Collette) and his therapist (played by Bruce Willis) make this movie a viewing pleasure time and again. My favorite scene is at the end of the movie when he & his mother are in the car, and he's "ready to talk about his secrets." I would highly recommend seeing this film, as there is a little bit of something for everyone - humor, suspense, drama, lost love, and reconciliation.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies for a number of reasons and it's nice to see that even after a decade, this film ages so well and is still fun to watch. I watched "Silence of the Lambs" again recently and it hasn't aged as well for me. "The Sixth Sense" is more than just a scary movie as it has themes of redemption in trying to make things right, the difficulty of single parenthood and the tremendous impact it has on the innocent child's life both then and in the future and of course the obvious life after death/spirit world issues. The unexpected twist is a key reason for what makes this film work so well and yet unlike "Silence ..." even when you know the ending, the excellent treatment of the various other themes mentioned earlier makes it still watchable. With "Silence ..." I get the feeling I already know the final score of the basketball game and so a massive amount of future enjoyment value is lost with repeated viewings. Each time I watch "The Sixth Sense" though, I still find myself rediscovering elements that I'd somehow missed earlier. This film like a true classic rewards repeated viewings very well.
This Collector's Edition dvd is also a treat as it comes in very good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound quality and the picture quality is for the most part very good. The Special Features includes very good making-of documentary, deleted scenes and interviews with the cast and especially with the director/screenwriter himself. As far as standard format discs go this is very good and it only makes me wonder how much better the Blu-ray version can possibly be. Just like the child character in the film, the inability of adults to take the insights of children seriously enough is the only way I can explain why Haley Joel Osment didn't get the best actor Oscar for his performance here. I guess he's just too young for the academy to take him seriously? Bruce Willis has done some of his best work on this film too. Classic films like this are a one off and it's unlikely M. Night will reach the same heights of quality as he does here again although he does come close with "Unbreakable."
This is an excellent film that ages well and should be in every film-buff's library.
Highly recommended!

This movie is fantastic. It is a psychological thriller that keeps you in suspense until the end and then leaves you shocked. Multiple viewings help you discover all of the intricacies of the film. The active was superb. This is a classic that everone should own if they like the movie. This movie will be as good 10 years down the road.

Is a great product. was a gift for a friend. I haven't asked her yet if she watched it. She is interested in paranormal phenomena and has the same sixth sense although she is only 16. Haven't heard anything bad but I will ask her about the quality. I also plan on ordering some books through you guys. Thanks
"Outstanding Mystery-Horror-Drama Hybrid With Tremendous Performances; Moving And Scary"
Among the best ghost stories ever told, The Sixth Sense succeeds mightily as a horror movie, a relationship drama, and a spiritual thriller. In arguably his best role, Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a dedicated psychologist still haunted by his inability to help a disturbed patient who later took his own life. Years later, he's in for the challenge of his career when he meets a deeply frightened and disturbed little boy named Cole (Haley Joel Osment, in an award-worthy vituoso performance) who seems at first to be plagued by the same kind of mental problems that hounded Crowe's former (later suicidal) patient. Part of his determination to help Cole is to try and redeem himself for what he perceives as his failure in the other case, but most of it is that he just puts his all into it for every case, and Willis is great at projecting the compassion and fear he feels for his new young patient who continues to spiral deeper, while Osment is just magnificent as a lovable little child who's scared out of his wits by forces beyond his understanding, and not knowing who to trust, or who's ever going to believe him. Both actors elicit tremendous empathy for their characters, and the supporting cast shines pretty brightly too.
The doctor bit by bit learns more about the nature of the boy's delusions, carefully prying little hints and pieces of information out of his scared charge without forcing it and driving him deeper into his shell. But Dr. Crowe may be in for far more than he ever bargained for, as he begins - almost against his will - to have to consider the fact that Cole's fears may not be delusions at all. The scene in which Cole finally confides the truth of what he 'sees' with his special sense to the doctor is an absolute classic. As Crowe tries to help him - and tries to figure out exactly where he stands on what he's beginning to suspect (which is everything his training has told him not to put stock into), Cole begins to sense a purpose behind his experiences and begins trying to understand what's behind the whole phenomenon, and what his 'role' in it is.
Excellent from start to finish, and if you're one of the few people on the planet not to already know the genuinely shocking twist ending, that's all the more reason to get it and see it as soon as possible. A+
