"Niche" movies
I don't even really know what to call them, but movies that don't quite fall into "Guilty Pleasure" categories, but nor are they exactly classics, epics, or other great works, or would they exactly be "cult" movies like the Crow or Highlander.

I'm watching Young Sherlock Holmes, a movie that I do enjoy a lot, but would hardly consider craptacular enough to be called "Guilty Pleasure" and certainly not great enough to gush about at length, either. I was wondering what others might have on their shelves.

There's also Samantha, a movie about a rather eccentric girl who discovers she's adopted on her 18th birthday. "If Superman can do it, I can do it or it can't be done at all."


For lack of a better word, I'll call them "niche" movies. What are yours?

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
