Looking for movies that are very good but more or less forgotten.

I have a good list so far based on rotten tomatoes, please share some of yours. Most of these I have not watched but found have a good rotten score and solid cast.

Would also appreciate any recommendations on where to start on these if you have seen them.

Sunshine Cleaning
Roger Dodger
Amelie
Everyone Says I love You
Arbitrage
Beginners
Buried
Junebug
Michael Collins
Aint Them Bodies Saints
Crystal Fairy
A Better Life
Higher Ground
Prince Avalanche
The Way (enjoyed this one)
Stories we Tell (very different doc., very good)
Smashed
Submarine
The Trip
The Woodsman
Upstream Color
What Maise Knew (very good)
Your Sister's Sister

The rest, I don´t recognize.

ETA Michael Collins is good, as well.

Buried is good.

I never saw Michael Collins but I've heard nothing but excellent things about it.

Those movies on your list look more like recent indy flicks than forgotten movies.

Speaking of indie flicks/foreign flicks. Did you ever watch In the Mood for Love?

I really liked Amelie -- I've seen it a couple of times and own the DVD. Audrey Tautou is lovely.

Sunshine Cleaning was OK.

The Woodsman was quite good, but creepy. Kevin Bacon is a pedophile who just got out of jail. He's very good in it. Mos Def is terrific as a cop who is watching him.

Frailty is a movie that only one other person I know has heard of, and he's the guy that introduced me to it in the first place.

I love that movie and bought it as soon as I watched it, and it's got some high profile cast names too. I don't know why it doesn't get more love.
