Is there a name for movies (or perhaps even books, albums, etc.) that are almost considered classics, but aren't quite there?  I guess "sleeper" could be used, but I'm thinking movies that aren't quite obscure or overlooked, just not really considered the best of the best (more like second best).

Just go ahead and start calling them classic?

Someone has to be the first to apply the term to a given work.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
