Re: Most original films in the last ten years?

I wouldn't exactly call the Matrix original since it is just an updated REMAKE of Alice in Wonderland, and changing the lead to a male actor... a shitty one at that.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

I agree. By far 1 of, if not the best, movie I have ever seen.

Uni

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, seconded.

MEMENTO is the best with FIGHT CLUB being a close second. I'd also throw EQUILIBRIUM into that mix.

The Prestige
Memento
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind

Life Aquatic w/ SZ...just about anything Wes Anderson (Haven't seen Darjeleing ??sp??)

As long as we're just saying original, and good is not a requirement. He is the most pretentious filmmaker on the planet. His "look how quirky I can be!" movies wore out their welcome after Rushmore.

I'd say, if you want originality with quality, look to Guillermo Del Toro, Darren Aronofsky, and, as much as I hate to toot his horn, because he does it so much himself, Quentin Tarantino. Whether you like it or not, just look at the impact he has had on dialogue in film. I happen to like it.

I have to update my note...I will now pick the HD DVD director's cut of Payback

Absolutely amazing story and the PQ was stunning to boot!
