So, one thing I would like to know...

[JoeTheDestroyer]

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).

Forgotten gems perhaps?

Forgotten gems perhaps?

Or 'Samwise?'

[ulthar]

Just go ahead and start calling them classic?

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