This question is pretty self-explanatory. What is the most original movie you've seen, and what made it so original?

a disney movie coz there called an original movie

Donnie Darko. The plot is not something that has been done 5,000,000 times and the movie actually forces the viewer to think.

Donnie Darko...the movie actually forces the viewer to think.

Does it really? There's a difference between being a thought provoking film and just trying to confuse the world.

I know it's not amazingly original, but just for the spin on everything, ETOTSM - most realistic view on relationships anyone will ever see.

Elephant. It was weird. I've never seen anything like it.

Eraserhead.

Predator...you know, with Arnie.

the end of evanglion
death and rebirth

both very psycological and weird and pretty deep
dont think i will see another movie like it

The collected works of David Cronenberg.

The Edukators

Snakes on a plane.

J/k.

Emm, I'm not really sure... I thought Sin City's style was pretty cool, but as far as storyline goes, I'm really not sure. I could say something then change my mind in 10 minutes time, so for now, I shall say that Resevoir Dogs was quite original, a used and abused theme for a movie, a bank robbery, pulled off in a very different way.

Baraka. a languageless film that's purpose is to tell the oldest story of all time, but one that is very rarely told- the story of earth and it's people, our diversity and similiarities and how they intertwine, if they ever send a film into space for an alien race to find, this will be it. with the use of ambient music and images alone, it manages to capture everything an alien would need to know about the earth and it's people within 2 hours, not to mention it's fucking stunning.

red eye

I thought holes was pretty cool how it all made snese at the end.

Fight Club

a disney movie coz there called an original movie

I agreee. Disney makes up their own. Then others copy it. :)

Advent Children

Pretty much the only good movie in 3D animation.

You sire, have failed miserably.

Kill Bill 1 and 2 had a pretty original storyline..

Kill Bill 1 and 2 had a pretty original storyline..

.... yes... assuming film didnt exist before 1981.... seriously... are you kidding? you're a reviewer and you picked Kill Bill as the most original movie? of all fucking movies?! really puts my faith in the moderator's decision making.

i mean for fuck's sake! there were characters in those movies FROM OTHER FUCKING MOVIES!!!!

Memento

Memento

Chris Nolan = The Man.

Suburbia, I can think of two or 3 movies that ripped it off but it's originl...ish.
And fight club.

Forrest Gump
Saving Private Ryan

Why do people think that Fight Club was original? The book was practically a Copeland rippoff.

Monty Pythons Holy Grail

I thought Punch Drunk Love was original.

i liked not another teen movie... cuz it was u know... not another stupid teen movie that takes itself to0 seriously. and funny as hell. *u have ur mothers eyes*

Being John Malkovich, Memento, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Happy Gilmore.

Good Burger.

waking life.

I dunno. I guess Friday is original.

^^ I want to see Waking Life. I'm into Lucid Dreaming and all that and I keep getting search results for that movie whenever I'm looking stuff, lol.

Good Burger.

& crash.

jesus, some of you people need to watch more movies before you go calling something original, i mean, Waking Life, Being John Malcovich, Eternal Sunshine, Memento, and even Punch Drunk Love are all great choices.

but Friday? Good Burger? CRASH?! now im not gonna knock crash, because i really liked it, but there are like, a billion movies just like it: Traffic, Magnolia, these are big films that follow the same story telling style, and frankly the issue of racism in LA has been dealt with many times too, perhaps not as well as in Crash, but still, we arent talking about merrit here, were talking about originality.

Apocalypse Now, Fear and loathing in las vegas. I remember watching "The Wild Geese" with Roger Moore about mercenaries in africa, you really dont see too many merc movies.
