I would replace Unbreakable with:
The Untouchables
Uncle Buck
Up in Smoke
Then again, I would recommend doing just about anything instead of watching Unbreakable.

Do not listen to this. Unbreakable rocks, and may well be the last good film MNS ever made.

Wow. You may be the first person I ever met with this opinion. With the exception of The Sixth Sense, I thought all of MNS' films were horrendous. I'd rather write a dissertation on Weird Al's UHF than even watch Unbreakable again.

Everyone I've met who doesn't like Unbreakable has the same complaints, that it's boring, it drags, etc. I see it as EXACTLY what good science fiction should be. It's a really tight plot with tight dialogue, and most of all a psychological examination of a character placed in a difficult position. I also like the fact that you get to see who a "supervillain" would more likely be in the real world; less Lex Luthor than tortured madman.
And it's just a damn cool idea.
I could watch both Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense over and over.
