1p THE SIXTH SENSE A movie so influential if you mention its title and people have seen it, they know immediately what you’re talking about. This movie even inspired Kendrick Lamar to quote it on Not Like Us. You know the line “I see dead people.”

M. Night Shyamalan blew everyone’s minds so thoroughly with this movie that he’s almost expected to include a twist in every movie he makes.

Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) experiences a traumatic event and then begins working with young 9 year old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who experiences bullying, anxiety, and fear because of his belief that he can see dead people.

At first Malcolm is skeptical but Cole proves, in several very unsettling instances, that he knows things about recently deceased people that nobody could know. Malcolm works feverishly to find a way to help Cole before Cole’s ability tears the boy apart.

Of course we’re not going to go into the amazing twist at the heart of this movie. But we do invite you to come see it on the big screen in a movie palace on 35mm film.

It’s incredibly hard to pull off a movie twist that delights the audience yet shows that the filmmaker had given the audience all the clues necessary from the start. It’s a magic trick.

And M. Night Shyamalan does it in front of your very eyes.

Today, we screen a Shyamalan double feature on 35mm. You can get tickets to an individual movie or get the MOVIE TWIST DOUBLE FEATURE pass (both movies, best deal). See them both in one of Los Angeles's very first and original movie palaces.
