The strange fact about "Waterland" is the way the performances and the dialogue are worthier than the story itself.
4. A Dangerous Woman (1993)

Votes: 2,049 | Gross: $1.50M
What's nearly perfect in "A Dangerous Woman" is the Debra Winger performance. She does not lie. She will not hurt another. She deserves her chance at happiness, and she knows it. It's quite a performance.
5. Losing Isaiah (1995)

Director: Stephen Gyllenhaal | Stars: Jessica Lange, Halle Berry, David Strathairn, Cuba Gooding Jr.
Votes: 6,546 | Gross: $7.60M
The movie, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and written by Naomi Foner, deals with all of those issues, but in a finally unsatisfactory way.
6. Homegrown (1998)
R | 102 min | Comedy, Crime, Drama
Three marijuana farmhands see their boss killed, ending their peaceful existence in NW California. They decide to harvest, process and sell the crop themselves. Crime bosses, corrupt cops, killer pilot, greed etc. ensue.
Director: Stephen Gyllenhaal | Stars: Billy Bob Thornton, Hank Azaria, Kelly Lynch, John Lithgow
Votes: 5,045 | Gross: $0.22M
Homegrown is a lovable off-the-wall film that, probably, very few have seen or even heard about.
7. Grassroots (2012)
R | 98 min | Comedy, Drama
After losing his job, a journalist reluctantly agrees to help his oddball friend with his bid to earn a seat on the Seattle City Council.
Director: Stephen Gyllenhaal | Stars: Jason Biggs, Joel David Moore, Lauren Ambrose, Cobie Smulders
Votes: 1,156 | Gross: $0.01M
At first glance, "Grassroots" doesn't seem like much of an idea for a movie. Nor at second, third or fourth glance.
8. So B. It (2016)
PG-13 | 98 min | Drama
A young girl named Heidi, who lives with her mentally disabled mother, travels across the country to find out about her and her mother's past.
Director: Stephen Gyllenhaal | Stars: Talitha Eliana Bateman, Alfre Woodard, John Heard, Jessica Ann Collins
Votes: 656 | Gross: $0.05M
"So B. It" aims for an inclusive message. But Mama's artificiality makes it hard to buy the movie's themes of acceptance.
