4. Haley Joel Osment -- Sixth Sense
   Oscar-nominated at the age of eleven, Haley Joel Osment was far from a newcomer when he played the sad boy plagued with visions of ghosts in The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis. His career began at the age of four, when he accompanied his father to an audition for a Pizza Hut commercial, and left with the role. The commercial was noticed by Robert Zemeckis, who sought out young Osment and put him in his first movie — Forest Gump, where he played Tom Hanks's non-retarded son. His first leading role came at 8, in Bogus, where he played the orphaned son of a circus performer who is sent to live with Whoopi Goldberg, his no-nonsense aunt.

6. Ecumenical Council -- Sixth Ecumenical Council
   To suggest that the Sixth Ecumenical Council does not invalidate the teaching of papal infallibility because Honorius did not make an ex cathedra statement is historically absurd. This is to erect arbitrary conditions which were not existent at the time to save oneself the embarrassment of a historical fact which undermines one's position. The issue is not what do individual Roman Catholic apologists say, but what did the Sixth Ecumenical Council say. On what basis did it condemn Pope Honorius? By its own words it condemned him in his official capacity as the bishop of Rome, not as a private theologian, for advancing heretical teachings which it says were Satanically inspired and would affect the entire Church. It specifically states that Honorius advanced these teachings, approved of them, and in a positive sense was responsible for disseminating them.
7. Perception -- Brain
   Perception is a creation of the brain that goes beyond the input of sense organs. Sense organs detect changes in the environment, and transmit the information as nerve impulses or action potentials.
8. Horror Films -- Blair Witch Project
   Horror films can date badly, and few classics can stand the test of time. Films such as "Psycho" and "The Haunting" (both of which have been re-made recently) are films which stand out, and can still thrill. Hollywood's need to re-make such films demonstrates the lack of imagination currently being put to use in this genre. Most recently successful horror films have been surprise hits, revolving around mainly supernatural tales. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Blair Witch Project" relied much more on the element of implied horror, a more subtle technique which has fallen by the wayside recently as slash and stalk movie has become more popular.
9. M. Night Shyamalan
   Manoj Nelliattu Shyamalan (born August 6, 1970), known professionally as M. Night Shyamalan, is an Academy Award-nominated Indian American film writer, director, and producer.

Shyamalan, along with Jay Chandrasekhar, is one of several South Indian-diasporic descent filmmakers working in Hollywood. Like director Alfred Hitchcock, one of his idols, he is known for making cameo

The film was led by Sir Anthony Hopkins, but it was rising-star Russell Crowe who caught her eye.
