"Sometimes?"

And I'd agree with you about The Village -- it's one of my two favourite Shyamalan films (the other being Unbreakable). I think what ruined it for audiences was that it was marketed as a horror/thriller, when in fact I'd categorize it as a romance (albeit set against a backdrop with elements of horror in it). While admittedly the twist in this film was a little predictable and had become a cliché for Shyamalan by this point, unlike The Sixth Sense the film doesn't rely on the surprise ending to work. I've seen it a number of times, and I've actually enjoyed it more with each viewing.
