It was 20 years ago today that Signs, my all-time favorite M. Night Shyamalan film (even moreso than 1999's The Sixth Sense) was released in theaters nationwide.
So many great scary moments in this movie (specifically the scene above where an alien visitor pays an unexpected visit to a birthday party in Brazil)...though we'll overlook the hilarity that extraterrestrials who are allergic to water would invade a water planet like Earth without having any protective gear on!
Signs was released two years after the film Gladiator, so it was kind of weird watching Joaquin Phoenix—who was phenomenal as the villainous emperor Commodus in Ridley Scott's 2000 Academy Award winner—be the hero at the end of Shyamalan's sci-fi thriller.
"Swing away."
