Radiohead: Kid A
Kid A, released in 2000, is where Radiohead took another big in the "experimental" direction. From vocal manipulations to obscure electronic instruments to chaotic 3-part horn section improv, this one has it all. It also turns out that what I thought was a Theremin is actually an Ondes Martenot. This is by no means an obscure album (4 million copies sold worldwide!) but I'm always amazed and impressed by how widely appreciated these guys are.

Marwencol
You've never seen a documentary like this before. Marwencol is the story of Mark Hogancamp, who was brutally assaulted by five men and suffers serious brain damage including 9 days in a coma and little memory of his previous life. He takes refuge in his own back yard by creating a detailed scale model of a fictional town, Marwencol, set in WWII Germany. I don't want to give anything else away. Please do yourself a favor and just go watch this.
