Damsels in Distress 2012
If you're intelligent, quirky and can appreciate the feel of an indie film, you'll really enjoy this film like I did. If not... maybe give this a miss.

I know I shouldn't compare, but... Battle Royale blows The Hunger Games out of the water. It's like going from Twilight then seeing Let The Right One In. The grittier, more realistic style always wins.

Lars and the Real Girl 2007
What appeared to be a silly premise turned out to be an unusual and insightful take on the effects of living/coping with loneliness.

As usual Ryan Gosling was incredible (as were the entire supporting cast) If you're a person who's looking for a silly film with cheap laughs, look elsewhere, because this film has depth.
