Sugar (2005)
Great experimental narrative
It's rare that I personally see films that boarder on experimental and narrative that actually work for me. "Sugar" is a definite exception to this rule. This film was interesting without being obvious and used devices, such as a mixture of B&W and color, to their full potential for once. I wouldn't dream of trying to go into what this film is about as it will likely be translated differently by everyone that sees it; that's part of it's charm. Hopefully this film will receive some sort of release, but don't expect to see it at the mega-plex near you any time soon. Samara Golden does an exceptional job in the lead role and stays compelling throughout even without dialog while appearing in almost every frame of the film. The craftsmanship is unbeatable and I consider this film a must see for anyone that that is really interested in the medium of film.
Four Eyed Monsters (2005)
Try to see this!
This film may not be easily accessible but should definitely be seen if you have the chance. A great story about young adults that will ring true for many people. Limited distribution will cause a problem for this film but don't let it stand in the way of you seeing it. Get in touch with the filmmakers if you have to. Nothing groundbreaking but it is so refreshing to see people using film to do more than sell tickets. This film has a real heart that rings true in the final product.
By the way, I have no affiliation with the filmmakers as many on these boards would like to suggest every time someone really likes something. I just got lucky enough to see this at a festival and I would hate for anyone to miss it if they have the chance to catch it.
