Happy Accidents (2001)

Incredibly original story (OK, OK, I know there's a bit of resemblance to "The Terminator," but it's a whole different vibe) with fantastic performances.

Basic premise is that Ruby (Marisa Tomei) is a loser magnet whose luck seems to change with the arrival of offbeat Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio), who sweeps her off her feet in no time. Although he's a gentle sweetheart, several oddities keep Ruby off-balance and, as he opens up to her, make her wonder whether he's on the up and up or out of his mind.

The story's both smart and downright ridiculous -- but it never lost me for a second as Tomei and D'Onofrio are perfect.
