Good thread. It has compelled me to created an account because I wanted to add two unappreciated gems that I never see anyone mention.

The 1st is "Stranger Than Fiction" (2006).
This movie is (arguably) one of Will Ferrell's best performances; and Emma Thompson turns in a respectable job, as well. It's about a man who begins to realize he's a character in a depressed author's book when he begins to hear her narrations:

The 2nd is "The City of Lost Children" (1995).
I had a co-worker recommend this movie. It stars Ron Perlman (long before he gained fame with Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy) as a carnival strong man out to save children kidnapped by an evil genius. Very surreal imagery; well done steampunk:
