Didn't see any of them, but I can think of a 1/2-dozen sleepers:

Waking Ned Devine
Grand Canyon
Made in Heaven
The Trouble With Harry
The God’s Must be Crazy
October Sky
Don Juan De Marco

Seen any of 'em?

I liked The Waking of Ned Devine, but not sure I would watch it over and over. Good for a laugh, though.

Yes! I’ve seen Grand Canyon, Don Juan DeMarco, and The Gods Must Be Crazy. The first two were worthwhile. The last we actually own, as any family should.
I saw a movie this fall that deserves more attention: See How They Run. I recommend it.

Re: Seen any of ‘em?

I have seen four of the films on your list.

"Don Juan" and "Harry" I remember well, but I only saw them one time.

"Grand Canyon" - Top Secret Confession: I have been in love with Mary-Louise Parker for thirty years!

I have seen Waking Ned Devine, and I believe I have seen Made in Heaven (is Warren Beatty in it?).

I have seen a lot of movies that were never big hit; but, that I have enjoyed. Not every movie has to be a great work of art. Sometimes, you just want to be entertained.

I love the movie While You Were Sleeping. Is it a great work of art. No; but it is entertaining. Or, at least I think so.

I even have a "guilty pleasure". A horrible movie that I watch whenever it is being run on my one of my cable channels: Event Horizon

The worst movie with the best cast ever.
