If you can find it and don't mind French subtitles (although the criterion collection release also has an english version for the true philistine) you might dig it.

La Jetee is VERY good.

Actually it's been years since I've seen it but it seemed kind of like M. Night Shamashasalan + LOTR in that it esentially ended but then spent another ten or fifteen minutes explaining what you had just seen in case you didn't get it. Aside from that it's completely fucking balls, Terry Gilliam is the shit.

TBS must have given me the abridged version as it spent no time explaining it for me.

That movie looked insane. Did the story manage to keep up with the visuals?

I thought it was fairly good, although I only saw the dub. The raw french version may have been better. It's got a pretty good blade runner feel to it and while the twist is abit predictable, it's still quite good.
