It's much older than ten years, but Local Hero is an excellent, understated film. From that same time frame, The Right Stuff is a work of art, but it didn't do well at the box office (the public suspected it was intended to spotlight John Glenn, then a presidential candidate). Many people still know nothing about the film.

From only a few years ago, though, Sarah's Key is about some of the things the French would rather not remember about WWII.

I wrote a HS book report on the Right Stuff back in 1983.
it was the first movie i ever saw on VHS video Tape.
Watched it over my aunts house, she was the only person i knew at the time that had a VHS.

Me and the GF just watched it again 2 weeks ago.
Surprisingly she LOVED it.

One of those long movies i hoped would never end..
