[edit] Need Sixth Sense ending?

I think the reveal of the Sixth Sense ending should be taken out. It's one thing to reveal spoilers about the subject, another to reveal spoilers about another movie entirely. Especially when its such a big spoiler. DJ Clayworth

Okay, take it out. The spoiler warning for one movie can't really apply to another, can it? Anyway, I have to rewrite a bit tomorrow, because I forget parts of the plot sequence. Say, did you see 5FD yet? --Uncle Ed 22:09, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Love

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! This is only the 3rd time in my life that I've ever watched the same movie two days in a row! The others were Field of Dreams and Dead Again. See a pattern here? --Uncle Ed 16:30, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I myself enjoy this film and hold it as one of the best romantic comedies. The article, in its current state, certainly requires some attention... —Hollow Wilerding 02:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article tone

The tone of this article is not consistent with Wikipedia's intended style. I've marked it as such. --69.211.104.87 20:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The critical reactions section is good and highly accurate. The plot section needs some work, certainly.

Changing "Plot" to "Story" would clear this up, I'd think. Generally when people use the "Plot" header they give a summation while with the "Story" header they tend to go into excessive detail of the film. Either way something needs to be done. 65.145.213.126 05:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack

Found a listing of other songs in the film on Amazon. May be worth throwing it in here, good info. If you use it, feel free to delete it off this talk page.

From Sarah Core "lizabeth83" (Washington, PA USA)

Here's an updated story about the music I found from the movie for everyone, because I've received upwards of 100 emails regarding the original review.

On the Internet Movie Database I found a listing of some of the songs that aren't on the soundtrack. Curious, I went through the movie (many times) and listened carefully for all of the songs that I love that are missing from the soundtrack. You can buy them online or use a peer-to-peer program to download them yourself. I have the songs listed in order of appearance in the movie.

[edit] Link: Cow.

Is it really neccesary to have links to Cow, Toothpick, Waffles and other things that everyone already knows anyway?

[edit] Original Research

The huge recent cut of "original research" included a lot of well-written and interesting information, most of which can be referenced through reviews and news items, which were admittedly unreferenced. Somebody in the film project should consider restoring some of this information with better citations. MahlerFan 15:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
