City of Lost Children :
Nominated for a Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival, this sci-fi fairy tale features stunning visuals from directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro. With mad scientist Krank kidnapping children to steal their dreams, only brave young Miette (Judith Vittet) and a kindhearted circus strongman (Ron Perlman) can save them. Part fantastic vision, part nightmare, this production used more special effects than any other French film to date.

Can't believe I forgot this one. What a wonderfully weird movie. I strongly recommend for people who enjoy the
weird and original. Visually amazing as well.

Thirded, and I'll add Delicatessen, by the same directing team (one-half of which is Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who went to do Amelie, etc).
