Underworld (2003)
I liked it because...
... nobody's character was black and white. People who you figure early on are dicks end up having a noble streak and the ones you think are good have skeletons in the closet and a serious chip on their shoulders. This made the movie consistently surprising (at least compared to the usual cut-and-dried action movies out there).
The movie's been out for almost 10 years now but I only just saw it for the first time (I'm now dating a woman who is into the series and I want to watch the 4th movie with her soon so I'm catching up!)
Definitely worth a watch if you like action movies with flawed, three-dimensional characters and no particular morality lesson.
Pierrot le fou (1965)
A very interesting movie, but beware
I'm not a film critic, but I love movies. That said, this is my first Godard flick, it was a recommendation. This film felt more like observing a painting than watching a traditional film due to the lack of much of a plot. It is essentially a collection of impressions... song, sights, beauty, color, romance, adventure, noir. You should approach this movie with your right brain more than your left one. It's also very introspective so if that is not your cup of tea, you may not enjoy it as much. I didn't particularly like the ending, but I suppose there was nowhere else for it to go... All in all, this is the movie to check out if you are bored with the usual cinema formats. I give it 6/10 because I do feel it can be rather inaccessible at times; then again I may not be the ideal target market (I was born long after this film hit the theaters).
