Here's a roundup of some of the ones with the biggest buzz:

Hmmm...I don't know about the "The Imposter"as being THAT original. Sounds an awful lot like "The Chameleon" starring a nearly unrecognizable Ellen Barkin, Famke Janssen, Emilie de Ravin & Nick Stahl.

Like a real-life "The Return of Martin Guerre," the movie puzzles out the kid's identity and the motives behind his sudden "reappearance." less
