Off the top of my head:

The Matrix
Seven
Men In Black
Pulp Fiction
The Usual Suspects
The Silence of the Lambs
Reservoir Dogs
Jumanji
Goodwill Hunting
Home Alone
Fargo
Groundhog Day
Toy Story
Edward Scissorhands
The Blair Witch Project
The Truman Show
Trainspotting
The Sixth Sense
Face Off
True Romance

That's just Hollywood releases. I'm sure there are plenty more international movies that I am unaware of.

Oh and those movies were actually released between 1990 and 1999.

The Matrix - yes (use of technology)
Seven - not really
Men In Black - some crappy technical 5 minute wonders
Pulp Fiction - a bit
The Usual Suspects - not really
The Silence of the Lambs - no
Reservoir Dogs - struggling
Jumanji - yeah ok
Goodwill Hunting - no
Home Alone - no
Fargo - not particularly
Groundhog Day - no
Toy Story - yeah ok
Edward Scissorhands - yeah ok
The Blair Witch Project - yeah
The Truman Show - yeah ok
Trainspotting - yeah ok
The Sixth Sense - not really
Face Off - not really
True Romance - no

OK but can you define original for us?

something ground breaking. a new approach to filming. new techniques. a new style, genre or structure. breaking the rules.

the trouble for the later decades though, is that all the rules were broken in the 60s.

I think you're conflating innovation with originality.

You forgot a main component of an original movie.

The story has never been done before.

innovation is a facet of originality.

rather than having a pointless argument, would it not be worthwhile to appreciate the clips I've gone to the trouble to present?

up to you of course, but just a suggestion.

So here's a question, is Avatar 1 an original movie?

I would argue no.
