Good movies that aren't extremely popular

[aislephive]

Looking for some good movies that aren't very well known, but not totally obscure either. Just something that you thought was pretty good that wasn't a box office smash or won a lot of awards etc. Also try to describe the movie in a paragraph or so without giving too much away but also letting me know if it's the kind of movie I'd even enjoy.

I'll start:

The Life of David Gale: Kevin Spacey stars as a death row inmate for the murder of one of his peers of an orginization that protests the death penality located in somewhere in the heart of Texas, I believe Wichita but don't quote me on that. A journalist and her colleague set out 3-4 days before he is scheduled to be executed and interview him on the events preceding his sentence. Lots of very great twists and turns in this movie and I've watched it several times now, definitely reccomend it.
