M. Night Shyamalan both wrote and directed this phenomenal thriller, marking his first work outside of family/comedy movies. In this chilling psychological thriller, Bruce Willis is disheartened child psychologist Malcolm Crowe. After making a mistake with a patient, Crowe later discovers that he failed to help him. Several months later, Crowe learns of a young boy whose circumstances are similar to those of the ex-patient he failed to help.

This has to be one of the best thrillers of all time, it was so well crafted and put together. It really amazed me with the amount of time making this movie as perfect as it could be, adding every last touch to make the ending surprising and unexpected, but at the same time making sure to place clues in the film.

Clever, classy and beautiful shot. The muted tones and intimate staging, really draw you in, and try as you might, you can't but feel captivated by Haley J Osment's performance.

Would be very high on my list.
