Steve Buscemi wrote, started and directed it.

Not much happens in it. But it's still pretty good for reasons I don't know. Possibly because Steve Buscemi is awesome.

Also Requiem for a Dream and Pi, both by director Darren Aronofsky and have fantastic scenes of quick firing images. Requiem is a lot darker than Pi on many levels, although Pi does serve up a lot to think about and the B&W really adds to the atmosphere.

Garden State directed by Zach Braff of Scrubs fame. The film is simple, eloquent, funny and has a great soundtrack.

I also love The Island for the fact it's a good ole action film and does keep you guessing. Also a high re-watchable rating.

Oh and The Basketball Diaries are fantastic too, don't let the fact Leonardo de Caprio is in it put you off. It's pre-titanic and he is very good in it.

Oh and for some kick ass awesomeness Tony Jaa in "Ong-Bak" and "The Warrior King" because it's all brutal no-holds-barred-kick-in-the-crotch action.

I love the way Tony Jaa just doesn't bother blocking any strikes by people he fights.
He just takes 20 hits to the head, shrugs, and then destroys them with elbows and knees. Now *that* is hardcore!

Also the beginning of Ong Bak with the tree climing scene, and the best ever chase scene ever. Ever. on Tuk Tuks. :D (Think thats in Warrior King, but been a while)

The Island?
Bah, look for "Clonus- The Parts Horror", the film it shamelessly rips off. Much more entertaining :)

I enjoyed the Island
Garden State is a great film. Very rare that a filom actually affects your mood in any big way (other than annoyance) but this one left me incredibly calm

and more in love with Natalie Portman than I had been previously

also with a desire to invent noiseless Velcro
