I found this out today and it freaked the living daylights out of me:

ALL M.Night Shyamalan's movies-The sixth sense,The Village,Unbreakable are exactly 107 minutes

and he (Night) says he didnt plan it,it just happened

What about "Signs?"

Are you talking about ALL movies made by him or only those three? He also made "signs" with Mel Gibsion, but I don't know if that's 107 minutes though

EDITED:"Signs" Runtime: 106 min / Spain:108 min

EDITED: I'm a slow typer!

Anyone knows, M.Night Shyamalan is an Indian & his real name is Manoj Shyamalan. He is a south Indian (just opposite to my state). His every movie has at least one indian flag or map (can be anywhere). And his movie "Signs" was the most boring movie, I ever saw!!

He says ALL his movies..I left off Signs because as you presented,no one can actually agree on its run time even on TV today,he was debating this same issue with a host-I'm renting it tonight just to time the exact run time (man,I do need a life)

he never denied being Indian and I dont think Signs was boring-unless ofcourse you dont like that particular genre of movies.I happen to think he makes good movies

Same with Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2, Mindhunters, Driven, Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master etc) he has something very typical for Finland in every movie he makes, it can be a flag, Finlandia bottle or something similar

It's fun to spot the little thing from the movie

Sorry , but this one is wrong



this is from the Bank of Canada website, also if you go to cdnpapermoney.com you can see blown up pictures of the flags



I know it does look like the American flag, especially on the $5 bill, but it's not

Thats a great show, I watch it whenever I can.

were you watching "the view" by any chance?

Maybe that explains the, er, explosive things that happened to my ex-boyfriend whenever he ate peanuts....

lmao-I'm beginning to like you already

yes,I was watching the view when I heard that,didnt believe it so I waited for him to go on another show (a small time promo for his movie) and he confirmed it there too.

sorry its taken me ages to give my "Signs" verdict...I finally got thru watching it last night and its 106 minutes...dang if only he had gone on a little bit longer with the credits at the end,it would have made an almost perfect record
