8. Lady in the Water
Lady in the Water is just flat out… weird. It’s about a building manager (Paul Giamatti) who finds a mythical creature (Bryce Dallas Howard) in the pool and helps protect her from being hunted. Ultimately, it doesn’t really work all that well, but the sheer audacity and originality of it, as well as some nice moments of poetic lyricism and wonder, move it up the charts slightly.
