[Alberta's Child]

Let it Ride is a clever movie that really never got the acclaim it deserved. Richard Dreyfuss plays a middle-aged guy whose marriage is in trouble, who passes time hanging out with a bunch of losers at the horse track and in a bar across the street.

And then he has a stroke of good fortune . . .

I'd also add Kevin Costner's For Love of the Game to this list. It was a box-office bust and got panned by most critics, but I think a lot of people simply didn't appreciate the subtleties of the movie and extraordinary work that it took to make this film. It takes place during a single baseball game filmed in Yankee Stadium, but is built around a series of flashbacks over the last five years of the career of legendary Detroit Tigers' ace "Billy Chapel" (played by Costner).
