The Sixth Sense is a 1999 film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan about a troubled, isolated boy played by Haley Joel Osment, and a child psychologist, played by Bruce Willis, who tries to help him but is going through some personal troubles of his own. The film is set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The movie was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Haley Joel Osment), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Toni Collette, who played Osment's mother) and Best Director (M. Night Shyamalan, who also wrote the story).
The film, with a budget of approximately $40 million, earned $293,501,675 in the United States and a worldwide gross of $672,806,292, making it the #22 on the list of box-office money earned in the U.S. as of December, 2005.
The Sixth Sense had a huge impact on popular culture, especially the line, "I see dead people," uttered by Osment's character, which was often parodied.

- The report read "Routine retirement of a replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.
- Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
