Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Cole is yelling "Stuttering Stanley" at his teacher, lingual braces (they are fixed to the back of teeth rather than the front) can clearly be seen on Cole's teeth. Given their expense vs. regular braces, it is highly unlikely that Cole's mom would opt for this type of orthodontic appliance when she is working two jobs to make ends meet.

Anna Crowe: It's getting cold.
Malcolm Crowe: That is one fine frame; one fine frame that is. How much...
[he sits down with a grunt]
Malcolm Crowe: ...does a fine frame like that cost, do you think?
Anna Crowe: I never told you, but you sound a little like Dr. Seuss when you're drunk.

The Sixth Sense is a brilliant film, plain and simple. It is unique in that it relies on imagination and psychology to scare you and make you think twice about the world around you. The director did a fabulous job constructing the imagery of the film, and I genuinely did not know about the ending until it was revealed. Quite a shock! The Sixth Sense goes in my book as the single greatest psychological horror film I have ever seen. Anyone who bashes it are simply not giving it a chance or don't fully realize the complex dialog and imagery around them. Brilliant
