I just watched "Stealing Home" for the first time and I was blown away by the story. What a wonderful sleeper and a great character study!

Mark Harmon plays a baseball player who never quite made it to the big leagues (and through a wonderful series of flashbacks we learn why). He's in his mid 30's and he gets summoned home to handle the ashes of his true love who had just committed suicide (Jodie Foster). The movie (similar to "Godfather Part II") goes back and forth between the past and the present and ties everything up neatly.

For anyone who has lost a loved one and has felt beat down for a time this is a MUST-SEE! Your emotions will get a workout.
