60 Unbreakable
ER Doctor “And, to answer your question, there are two reasons why I'm looking at you like this. One because it seems in a few minutes you will officially be the only survivor of this train wreck, and two, because you didn't break one bone, you don't have a scratch on you.”
A suspense thriller with supernatural overtones that revolves around a man who learns something extraordinary about himself after a devastating accident.

Bruce Willis and Samual L. Jackson star in an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
M. Night Shyamalan has never surpised me. I new the ending of sixth sense just from the trailers. The village I avoided the trailers and still new the ending within the first 15 minutes. I grew up with the Twilight zone and it takes Terry Gilliam or David Lynch to slip something past me. I have never been impressed with Shyamalan’s story telling until Unbreakable. Unbreakable seems to be the least favorite of the Shymalanite followers favorites but I was intrigued and taken by the end. I love the end because he is telling you the entire time you just don’t want to hear it. Granted unbreakable probably should be more in the 90’s or 80’s on my top 100. It slips into number 60 for its style, its storyline and some great performances by Mr. Jackson. Samuel had some good material to work with in this one and he is a pleasure to watch, especially his opening scene. In the end I wouldn’t mind seeing a spin off or a return to these characters. If you liked the realism of Batman Begins and you are tired of the fantasy of Spiderman or Xmen. Tune into Unbreakable its super powers at its most realistic. Warning the child actor is a bit unbearable.
