Favorite Movie Gems You May not have Seen
I suspect I have odd taste in movies, as I often like the quiet films that tell a simple story. And a lot of them aren’t exactly blockbusters. In alphabetical order, here are ten to start out; perhaps I will add more later on. The downside is that some of them are fairly obscure and therefore perhaps hard to find even if you want to watch them!
Some Of My Sleeper Movies
I think the industry defines a "sleeper" as a movie that was low budget with little promotion and had no "buzz" connected to it, yet did surprisingly well at the box office or later on VHS/DVD. For me a "sleeper" is a movie where I am the only one in my circle of friends and family that knows about it. I then turn others on to it and they thank me for doing so (well some don't). Here are 20 in no particular order
