Not so much a sleeper as a foreign film, but one I think more people ought to see is Cave of the Yellow Dog. It's a very cute Mongolian film that I got from my local library. It's about a little Mongolian girl and her dog--and her family's struggle to keep their traditional way of life in a rapidly-changing world. But mostly the girl and the dog.
