I used to think The Matrix was an original idea until I saw I Robot which it has the same premise: Man creates artificial intelligence and eventually such A.I. wants to take over humanity. I know that I Robot came later BUT, I Robot was based on the series of 9 books by Isaac Asimov which date back to 1950.
The ninth book: The Evitable Conflict, is the book that tells that the machines try to control humanity in order to protect it. In the Matrix even though the machines are trying to take over humanity for energy, the basic concept is the same: Intelligent robots attempting to enslave humanity. Also there was controversy on the Matrix being too similar to a cyberpunk novel called Neuromancer (1984). So I hardly consider the Matrix to be "an original film". I think the Matrix is more of a "further developed and refined" idea. Still a great film.
Going back to topic, how about Minority Report?

As confusing as it was, The Fountain. I had to watch it a few times. Visually it's a VERY good movie. It's just hard to follow sometimes.

Absolutely stunning film...
> CITY OF GOD
...received positive acclaim from major publications in the United States, gathering 92% of favourable reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Empire chose it as the best film of 2003 and Time chose it as one of the 100 greatest movies of all time, while E! ranked it the 3rd "movie to see before you die" and it is ranked 16th best film of all time on IMDB Top 250. However there has been some criticism from the left. It has been argued that the film exploits certain middle class stereotypes about the poor.

Paprika is also a bit interesting.
Life Aquatic w/ SZ...just about anything Wes Anderson (Haven't seen Darjeleing ??sp??)
