Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was pretty good, yeah. Usually if the "difference" means "different from a generic Hollywood film, having great acting and a thoughtful story, and not relying on special effects too much", the difference is a good thing. Memento comes to my mind too, and maybe Garden State to some effect.

Mad City. (SPOILER)It's pretty rare that you'll find an entirely fictional film that has such an unhappy ending. At least, in my experience, anyway.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Down With Love definetly.
It's in the milk bar. And when I said grueling, I meant that some of the imagery is especially hard to take, if you're squeamish, which it really is.Originally Posted by farplaner
And as for Ichi the Killer.......be forewarned, it's an especially violent and graphic movie.

Palindromes was a REALLY strange movie (even the cover is!) but wasn't executed all that well.

I need to see that movie. Happiness is quite odd, and kinda disturbing (same director), but I enjoyed that movie regardless.
Oh, and I think you'd like Memento. Check it out if you get the chance.
Every movie I was going to mention has already been mentioned, and I don't much care.
Memento. Whoa. It's so rare for a movie to get me to question everything. It was so craftfully done, although for some reason I was a little annoyed at how self-involved this guy was. Jeez, sometimes people just don't care. >.>
Moulin Rouge. Like Miriel said, it was incredibly bizarre the first time seeing, but with the massive popularity it's kind of easy to forget how unique it was.
Requiem for a Dream. And if whoever directed that does a horror film, I'm all over it.
The Hours. I actually don't this was mentioned yet, but yeah. I really liked the writer/charactor/liver idea, and how they all tied in together.
Saved for me was quite an interesting and different movie. As well as Donnie Darko and The Royal Tenenbaums. Funny how they're all dark comedies.
Wow! Every single time I have ever mentioned Naked Lunch to anyone, they think I'm talking about a porno picnic in the park or something. That movie is definantly out there. Very good examples here (despite some of them already being mentioned).
The Life Aquatic had an incredibaly unique feel. I loved the cheesy animation for the marine life, and the...I guess candid way in which the characters interacted.
Another one, not surprisingly also by Cronenburg, is Videodrome with James Woods. I just saw this movie a week or so ago. I awlays enjoy movies that fire up my paranoid imagination...I'm a little weird maybe?
One crazy scene is where Woods, while hallucinating, loses his pistol inside an opening in his abdomen!
Another: I think it's just called Bergeron (for the title character, Sean Astin). He lives in a world where people where neural inhibitors or accelerators based on their intleligence. If you're too smart; you get knocked down. Too dumb; knocked up...you know what I mean. The best grade in school is a "C." Bergeron rebels...and I won't ruin the rest of it, but if you happen to come across this one, I recommend it.
Brian: "If I remember correctly, this is the Physics Department."
Chris: "That would explain all the gravity."
I'm amazed that Schindler's List hasn't benn mentioned yet, (if it has I'm sorry, but it is almost 3am) such a sad film, all shot in black and white except for the little girl's red dress. It made me cry so much.
This sexy sig is by Owen Mcwere. Thank you Owie!
Platoon, fear and loathing in las vegas. Those are the two films that really stand out to me. Quote from F&LILV:
"Look what god did to us man!"
"God didn't do it you did, your a smurfing narcotics agent!"
Hahahahaha, those lines have stayed with me a long time also
"Holy Jesus, what are these goddamn animals!?"
Bahahahahaha, Johnny Depp was a legend in that film.
That film was indeed awesome.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
