12. The Sixth Sense

I certainly appreciate movies with a great horrifying twist at the end. Few endings can beat Bruce Willis being dead at the end of the Sixth Sense. Young Haley Joel Osment received an oscar nomination for his portrayal of Cole Sear, the poor boy who keeps seeing ghosts coming to him for help. Osment could have easily won but this may have been one of the most competitive best supporting actors of all time. It's a shame M. Night Shyamalan has gotten progressively worse with each film since this masterpiece. The movie received a best picture nomination as well and deserved it after that great twist at the end.
