I liked Smoke Signals. It was a simple story with a lot of funny characters.
Another simple story: The Station Agent. It was released a few years ago. A great film about a little person who inherits a defunct train station.

I liked Run Lola Run. So fast paced! It was very entertaining. Plus, I liked that song that played over and over again.

I didn't love this film, partially because my DVD player crapped out in the middle of it. However, it was very interesting. The style was different from any other movie I have seen.
