- Praying With Anger (1992) Back when he was a film student at NYU, Shyamalan wrote, directed, produced and starred in this feature about a young man who returns from the U.S. (where he was raised) to India (where he’s from) to participate in a college exchange program at his mother’s behest.
- Wide Awake (1998) Judging by the title (and the fact that Shyamalan is so renowned for churning out psychological thrillers), you’d be forgiven for presuming Wide Awake is about, say, a family who mysteriously finds themselves unable to fall asleep no matter how tired they are.
- The Sixth Sense (1999) The Sixth Sense is the movie that catapulted both Shyamalan and young child actor Haley Joel Osement onto Hollywood’s A-list, the movie that earned both of them their first Oscar nominations, and the movie that still make people say “I see dead people.”
- Unbreakable (2000) Shyamalan and Willis reunited for this movie about a seemingly ordinary man and father named David Dunn who questions the true nature of his existence after he’s the sole survivor of a brutal train crash.
His early films include Praying with Anger (1992) and Wide Awake (1998) before his breakthrough film The Sixth Sense (1999), which earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. He then released Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002) and The Village (2004).
