Most Original film you have seen since 2000?

[SatEL]

It seems like Hollywood seems to follow a pattern all movies seem alike now as Hollywood lives by if it works we will beat it to death. So what's the most original film you have seen in a decade?

[FilmNerdJamie]

Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind immediately come to mind. Ditto with The Fountain.

 

[BizarroAids]

I'm going to have to agree with Frequency. Pretty original idea. Great flick.

Would "Teeth" count? I've never seen a movie with a penis eating vagina.

 

[Dark Knight 66]

I would say
The Prestige
Donnie Darko
The Machinist
Collateral

 

[Doctor Jones]

I would say
The Prestige
Donnie Darko
The Machinist

The Happening

Wall-E. While it was somewhat derivative of "end of the world" scenarios, the inclusion of the robot gave it an original spin.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind immediately come to mind. Ditto with The Fountain.

Get out of my brain! I was going to say those! t:

But yeah, more Aronofsky stuff:

Pi (Came out around 98, but I saw it in 2006 )
Requiem For A Dream

I'll have to think of others.

 

[Space Moose]

The Bands Visit
Adaptation
Waltz With Bashir
Brick
Joint Security Area
Revolver

 

[Doctor Jones]

All the M. Night Shyamalon films. Takes some tired genres and takes them to a whole new level.

Yeah, a whole new level of boredom

That is such a stupid, naive statement. But then again, you like Chris Nolan, so that explains it.

 

[boydston_14]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Donnie Darko, both of which have already been mentioned in this thread.

 

[Rac]

Pan's Labyrynth

Jason X .. we never seen jason in space before.

 

[Matt]

Snakes on a Plane...I mean, really? Who the hell saw that coming?

 

[Watson]

Adaptation. The concept and delivery was just phenomenal.

Amelie. I adore this movie and I know at first glance it comes across as being a rom com, but for a romance it took it to the next level...all the magical elements, how much Amelie's imagination plays into it. I think a lot of movies since have been influenced by Amelie.

I would add Eternal Sunshine but I don't know if that was original.
