While there are several interesting individual savers -- RollerCoaster certainly comes to mind (also home to "DasBlinkenLights", and what a cool looking website!) -- those who like Fenêtres Volantes should probably check out Carousel.
Carousel is part of the <XScreenSaver> collection, a bunch of modules ported from Linux/Unix X11 Window systems. Carousel works best for me when pointed to my folder full of album cover art (jpegs).
Also included in that (free) XScreenSaver collection are 200 other savers (okay, so they're not ALL great). Some of the highlights are: Atlantis, BouncingCow [2 die 4], FlipScreen3D [similar to Fenêtres], FlyingToasters [slick], Gleidescope, GLSlideshow, Molecule, Phosphor, Sproingies, Superquadrics, XAnalogTV [not so great maybe], and XMatrix [better than Red Pill].

Yeah sorry, should have warned you not to try and preview them in Safari. Alt-click to download them and then check 'em out in Quicktime Player.
