Today I thought I would share some images from one of my favorite films, The Sixth Sense.

Cast:

Bruce Willis as Dr. Malcolm Crowe
Haley Joel Osment as Cole Sear
Toni Collette as Lynn Sear
Olivia Williams as Anna Crowe

It's hard to categorize this film because it encompasses so many things. However, if I had to sum it up into one theme, I would call this film a psychological supernatural thriller ghost story.

HA! Yeah, how do you like that for ONE theme?

And what is so ingeniously clever about this film is that you think you're watching one thing, but what you're really seeing is something else.

If you haven't already seen The Sixth Sense, I highly recommend it because not only does it have a riveting plot, but the ending is beyond brilliant. You will be left with your mouth hanging wide-open, saying, "OH. MY. GOD."

I really can't share anymore than that because it will spoil it for you. And even if you don't like scary movies, watch this one because it's not horror scary, it's intelligent scary.

I didn't see this film in a theater, I waited until it was out on VHS and watched it at home (yes, I still have it on a VHS tape). And no matter how many times I view it, it still has the same effect on me.

Truly, this is one of M. Night Shyamalan's greatest films that will live on as a classic.

The Sixth Sense was shot in Philadelphia. And one of the things I love to do when I know that a movie was filmed here is to scout out the locations.

So what I've done over the past two months was take my camera around the city and snap images of certain locations; comparing them to the actual movie.

Please enjoy...
