Well, I would only be making poorly informed guesses about your tastes, but I am building a list of movies I loved that mostly no one else has seen or cares about:

Joe Vs. The Volcano -- meaning of life stuff in a light fluffy package. I have been known to snap judge people by whether they loved or hated the movie. comedy/fairy tale

The Shipping News -- Incredibly overlooked for awards, imo. The story of a loser who finds himself. Newfoundland, supernatural, Judi Densch and advice on writing. I loved it. drama/supernatural

The Yakuza -- older movie about an American who was in the occupying force in Japan and finds out the ripples of trouble he caused by living with a Japanese woman at the time. drama/more drama

Shirley Valentine -- story of a Liverpool housewife who finds herself by making a trip to Greece. (These "finding yourself" themes show up on my lists often) I know how uninteresting that summary sounds, but, truly, it's not. comedy/drama

Is Joe vs. the Volcano that early Tom Hanks one? If yes, I adored it, too, though it's been quite a while since I've seen it.

Thanks for the recs on the others! They all sound good.
