How to make a non-cliche amnesia MC story?

It is not possible.

The very genre itself its cliche

The only way to make it so cliche that it is not is to add the other uber cliche plot drivers to your story... Make it a story about mad Time traveling Amnesic on a quest of prophecy. (Wait.. that's just 12 monkeys..)

Seriously.. I hate amnesia as a plot driver. Because all the stories are the same... The MC with amnesia conveniently remembers a key thing to move to the next scene (Bourne Identity)
