With all the rain we have been getting, the best thing to is curl up and watch a good movie.  Here is a list of some of the best movies you've probably never seen. 

Every now and then I'll come across a movie I have never heard of but sounds so good.  I'll watch it and 8 times out of 10 it blows me away.  A website called 'A Good Movie To Watch' has put out a list of very high rated movies that aren't well known.  They pick their movies by a high rating on IMDb combined with a high score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Here are the top 5 from the list:

5.) The Station Agent

This movie is about about loneliness, change and friendship.  It’s a small and wonderful movie about a little man that moves out of the city and his comfort zone when his only friend dies, moves to said friend’s old train station and sets his life there.

4.) Mud

Mathew McConaughey stars in this movie about love, loss and growth.  His character’s interaction with two young boys in the South shows the perfect balance between uneasiness and sorrow. The story is also very thrilling, and will keep you at the edge of your seat more times than not.

3.) Fruitvale Station

This is the true story of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old black man on the last day of 2008, where his will to change is challenged by his past, surroundings, and the police.  It is so compassionate and powerfully told, that it surpasses the sadness of its subject matter to almost be a celebration of life.

2.) Dear Zachary: A Letter To Son About His Father

This documentary is about a loving father of a young boy.  Get ready to cry your eyes out, scream in anger, and rejoice that such a powerful love can exist in our world.

1.) Short Term 12

This movie will take you on an emotional roller coaster.  It goes from sweet, to depressing to hilarious.  There was a small budget for the movie, but the movie is still considered one of the best movies of the past 20 years.

These are just the top 5 of the list.  To see the other movies on the list, you can go here.
