So, there has been quite a few of these movies over the years, each of them giving something new to the world of movies by exploring something they haven't before. What would you consider to be the best in these "different" movies?
OK, that sounded a bit odd, but hopefully when I get to some of the movies on my list, you'll get the idea.
Sixth Sense - A movie who's main character doesn't realize he's dead.
Butterfly Effect - a guy given the power to go to his past, and change it, and the future it brings, with devastating results.
Memento - A movie that's told exactly like the main character would remember, if he could remember that far.
Pulp Fiction - stories that affect each others while being completely separate ones.

Donie Darko-The movie is a psychological thriller/science fiction film about the bright but troubled teenager Donnie Darko, who, after narrowly escaping death, has repeating visions of an eerie 6-foot tall anthropomorphic rabbit who tells him that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds.
It has to do with alternate universes and time travel. It's messed up and I don't realy understand it too well. Well, I understand it's just not very easy to take in. It blows my mind away each time I see it and is not to be taken lightly.
P.S. Would Matrix count as a different movie?

I now, Donnie Darko is a great movie, but it's really messed up. It's like what would watching the Matrix be like in the early eighties. You enjoy the movie, but don't understand half of what's going on. Yes, Matrix would count. But in order to keep the standard up, the sequels don't count. The Matrix did give a lot to the world, not just psychologial stuff, like thinking is something really real or not, but it did give birth to bullet-time as well. Blade Runner - Many ways similar to Matrix, it makes you think are we really who we really are? what makes us human?

La Cité des enfants perdus (Translates into: The City of Lost Children)~ In a surrealistic and bizarre society, children have been abducted by a mad and evil scientist, Krank (D. Emilfork), who wants to steal their dreams and stop and reverse his accelerated aging process. When the gang of Cyclops kidnap Denree (Joseph Lucien), the little brother of the former whale hunter One (Ron Perlman), he is helped by the young street orphan girl Miette (Judith Vittet), who steals for the Siamese Pieuvre (Geneviève Brunet & Odille Mallet), to reach the platform where Krank leaves with his cloned dwarf wife Mademoiselle Bismuth (Mireille Moissé), his six cloned sons (Dominique Pinon) and a brain, and rescue the children.
Dark City~A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
P.S. I've had Dark city for quite sometime and my friend recently suggested I see The City of Lost Children because they share similar elements, but there weren't too many similarities. Their both very different movies.
