How can anybody even consider 6th sense for this? The ending was transparent from a mile away to many people, that doesn't qualify as the best ever.

For me, the impact of the more famous "twists" like in Empire and Planet of the Apes are lessened through years of parody and re-enactment. Plus, it doesn't help that i'm young and never got to see those at the time of their theatrical release.

I didn't know a thing about The 6th Sense when I saw it, and I was blown away by the ending. Literally jawdropped.
Sure, a lot of people probabely saw it coming, but I think that it was handled beautifully, and for many people the ending was a teriffic shock.

The Sixth Sense floored me and I used to take pride in the fact I could regularly guess the endings of movies.
I'm not sure if it would be considered a twist ending since you can guess what's going on during the movie, but I LOVED the ending to Northfork.

Another one I just remembered. The chilling ending of Georges Sluizer's Spoorloos (aka L'Homme qui Voulait Savoir, aka The Vanishing)
No, NOT the 1993 remake "The Vanishing" by the same director which has an ending better suited (sigh...) to North American audiences.

I have never met anybody who says they knew the twist in sixth sense before it happened.
Anybody who claims they did is just lying to make themselves feel better or look smarter.
Or maybe they were told in advance that there was a twist.

God, that film annoyed me. Moreover, the screenwriter was SO pleased with that bloody film, there's a bit on the DVD dedicated to him reading his own script out loud. Sigh...

Like Birrman54 diplomaticly says, I guess it's up for debate. I think it's very clear

... not to mention, if you never MET one of those certain people, how can you prejudge them so quickly?
The Sixth Sense got a lot of people. Some got the movie just a bit quicker. That's all.
