Scanner Darkly (Richard Linklater's animated/live action take on the Philip K Dick novel; see clip, linked below)

Snakes on a Plane (a tongue-in-cheek thriller with the potential for becoming a cult-classic, starring Samual L. Jackson; the studio had the novel idea of shooting additional post production scenes with dialogue requested by fans over the internet making this a unique film experience garnering much word of mouth attention over the past year)

Lady in the Water (definite maybe. M. Night Shyamalan has been hit and miss, with his first two major features, The Sixth Sense & Unbreakable, worthy of classic status, and his last two major directorial efforts, Signs (which was way off) & The Village, (closer, but predictable) missing the mark by a fair margin. I hope that he has found his way back to that creepy edge-of-the-seat style which made him the best psychological horror director since Hitchcock.
