Anything with the underrated Sam Rockwell has to be at least halfway decent.
This reminded me of the move Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Now *that* was a film with an unusual plot--and like another movie I mentioned upthread, it was based on a true story, the memoirs of the Gong Show host, Chuck Barris. The sharp and crackling screenplay was written by Charlie Kaufman, the same guy who wrote Being John Malkovich as well as Adaptation...
Thanks. I had heard of this one a while back and now I've added it to my netflix queue.
American Beauty (Just watch it, I don't want to give it away.)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (think about it, something are inevitable no matter what precautions you take.)
Thor (just the psychology behind Thor and more importantly Loki is lightyears beyond most movies.)
Up (the beginning minutes of the film set it up in a music montage than most films you see today with dialogue.)
Wanted (It is a movie that starts at the end.)
I thought it was great... and very different from your average "disaster in space" flick! It just goes to show you don't need your sci-fi movie to be chock full of eye-popping special effects and stereotypical characters to be riveting.
Wings of Desire (1987). Directed by Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas (1984)), stars Bruno Ganz as an angel who can only be seen by children and other angels and he falls in love with a trapise artist and wants to turn in his wings and become a moral. They / hollywood tried to remake it and failed.
Love that movie. One of the things that made the original great was its use of Peter Falk doing a location shoot of Colombo in Berlin as an integral part of the plot. For whatever reason the remake (City of Angels) didn't use that same plot device and as a result lost a big part of the "magic" of that story.

Peter Faulk was great in WOD. Outstanding. Having been through what Bruno Ganz was going through, he kind of guided and counseled him along the way.
"Night of the Hunter" w/ Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish - has to be one of the greatest weird classic movies ever made.
Good one (Night of the Hunter). Great performance by R. Mitchum. He also did a great job in the original
Cape Fear.
