Strange ideas in a film

I would like to pick your brains here :-)
I recently watched 'Groundhog Day' and thought to myself - "what a brilliant idea for a film". It is about a character who relives the same day over. He sleeps at day's end and wakes up looping to day's start. He remembers events that happen on each repetition so that he can start using them to his advantage. I.e. he remembers the answers on a quiz show to impress his audience when it gets shown "again". I won't reveal any more. You should watch it if you haven't done so already.
So here we go: Do any of you TheSite.org people know of any other films that have strange/original ideas like this?

Back to the future is cleverly put together
Pleasantville too, where two kids get sucked into a tellybox and shake up a 50s programme and make everything technicolour then everyone begins to enjoy life rather than being a martyr.
Last one would be 28 Weeks Later, which was more powerful than the first I reckon. It could happen, not with that particular disease but the measures they used to clear out the country.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Sympathy for Lady Vengence
Adaptation
Groundhog Day rocks though! :thumb:
Am I the only person that worked that film out the second he met the girl?
think so!
I thought the end was confusing as fuck but it made sense for the most part.
The Prestige also... if you have seen it, you will know what i mean about the original idea in it... or ideas even!
Matrix! Obvious and not that great a film series, but you know... i guess an original idea.
It was a great film series...when there was only one film in it.
I also suddenly remember 'Jumanji' where one player gets sucked into a board game. Three more players have to carry on playing the game to the end in order for the missing person to be released.
Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!! Best thing i heard all day!
