OMG this movie! We had it on VHS and I watched it all the time as a child. It also has Sloane from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And unicorns!

Rabbit Hole. Nicole Kidman playing a normal grief-stricken mother. It’s one of those simple movies that tear your heart because you feel her pain.

Happier bittersweet heartache: Life As A House w/ Kevin Kline

Under the radar? it had a $10M budget and made $174M at the box office when it came out.


Think it was pretty much under the radar in North America though. Did win People's Choice Award at TIFF.
NP here. I certainly have never heard of it.


NP. It was heavily promoted in the US. It was everywhere. Were you a kid when it came out or something?

What? It was incredibly popular and successful here. It launched Audrey Tatou and she was on every magazine cover for a year because she was the most charming person ever, and wore that cool fish-scale dress to the Oscars (IIRC) and then was on a bunch more magazine covers because she was the most stylish person ever. She never had another movie nearly as successful in North America, not as a lead.


It does not matter!

OP is sick and wants suggestions for good movies they might have missed. Don't turn EVERYTHING into some kind of debate/contest, for God's sake!

No Way Out with Kevin Costner (great thriller)

The Heartbreak Kid

+1 to The Painted Veil. It's a very memorable movie. Also Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog (Japanese).

+1 for Amelie. Also suggest Girl With the Pearl Earring


How did you watch? I was looking on every platform for Amelie and couldn’t find it anywhere.

Under the radar — I promise you that the third installment of Brigit Jones’ Diary, the one where she is pregnant, is hilarious. Like i cried laughing.

Legend (1986) starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry and directed by Ridley Scott. Soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. A weird movie but very watchable. You can’t turn away.
