    M Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense For M Night Shyamalan's breakthrough, The Sixth Sense (1999), the twist ending worked well, adding another level to an already decent film.

'The Sixth Sense' is initially set up as a thriller before evolving into a surprisingly touching psychological drama with supernatural overtones.
