just in last few years:
Lord of the Rings trilogy (not an original idea obviously, but well done)
Memento (very interesting idea)
Eternal Sunshine (ditto)
A lot of the animated movies were also very well done, innovative with good scripts
Last Samurai was one I saw on cable recently that I thought was good too. I like the epics. The movies in the olden days were sci/fi or action with way cheesy special effects, acting that was over-the top and unrealistic, and all the romance was basically: man forces himself on woman. she learns to love it.
