I enjoy movies that are a bit off the beaten path.

My favorite sleeper movie of 2008 is The Visitor.

In a world of six billion people, it only takes one to change your life. Sixty-two-year-old Walter Vale is sleepwalking through his life. Having lost his passion for teaching and writing, he fills the void by unsuccessfully trying to learn to play classical piano. When his college sends him to Manhattan to attend a conference, Walter is surprised to find a young couple has taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real estate scam, Tarek, a Syrian man, and Zainab, his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the first of a series of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him.

The movie stars, Richard Jenkins, Haaz Sleiman, Danai Gurira, and Hiam Abbass.

One great film.

Other sleepers that I have enjoyed watching are:

Stand by Me
A Fish Called Wanda
Dirty Dancing
The Shawshank Redemption
There's Something About Mary
The Sixth Sense
Legally Blonde

Brassed Off

A small movie .But you may recognize a few of the actors from the BBC.
Funny and dramatic . With music too ,not for everyone ,But I loved it !

Soylent Green

A great movie depicting a future in which overpopulation leads to depleted resources on earth. This leads to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables, and meat are rare, commodities are expensive, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green" wafers.

If you haven't seen it, don't Google it.
It'll give away the whole plot.
