Being John Malkovich (1999)

 

Written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Spike Jonze. Weirdness was guaranteed. I wish I could have been in the meeting when this was first pitched to Malkovich. What a bizarre and intriguing role to play. Loved the restaurant scene where he’s playing 100 different versions of himself. Truly a unique vision.

Saw (2004)

I "saw" this on cable, and it was much better than I expected. That's usually the case with movies I think are horror films but turn out to be psychological thrillers. I noticed several plot holes, but I appreciated the attempt nonetheless.
