I watched Run Lola Run on Amazon Prime today, and I enjoyed it.
IMDB
A wanna-be German Leeloo gets a phone call from her boyfriend. He screwed up, and she needs to get 100,000 German monies in 20 minutes, or else he'll either be killed or ruin his life by robbing a grocery store.
I read a more eloquent description and wondered how an 80 minute film could be happen in 20 minutes, but it all worked out satisfactorily.
I really like how they don't dumb it down by trying to explain things (no midichlorians).
We watch all films through the perspective of the narrator. The narrator in this film never speaks, but you extra stuff is told from the eye of the camera that I liked.
I'd watch it again, and I wouldn't watch most films again.

Paul's tapping into another flick I saw back in the day. This one was watched in class for some reason. Thought it had a fairly interesting gimmick.

I have sung the praises of this film for years.
An excellent indy film with a really well done concept.
