Although the most visible VHS and DVD rentals are new releases of movies that did well at the theatrical box office, there are many good movies consumers may be overlooking at their local video store, such as the following films that made under $25 million at the box office. According to film historian Mark Tusher, owner of Alamo Video in Simi Valley, Calif., and a member of the home video and entertainment industry's international trade group -- the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) -- the following list offers picks for ten good movies released on video in 2001 that ``most consumers may never have heard of, but won't be quick to forget.''

Additionally, other favorite ``sleeper'' titles of 2001 recommended by Tusher but yet to arrive on video include: ``The Deep End,'' ``Ghost World,'' ``Tortilla Soup,'' ``Life As A House,'' ``Lantana'' and ``Sexy Beast.'' Some of Tusher's favorite foreign language films of 2001 that generated less than $25 million at the box office are ``Widow of Saint Pierre,'' ``Amores Perros,'' ``The Girl On The Bridge,'' ``Melena'' and ``With A Friend Like Harry.'' ``Every year some of the best movies go totally unnoticed at the theaters,'' said Tusher. ``The good news is, they are available for rent at local video stores.''
