Two other obscure movies that I've streamed recently on #Tubi are:

#TheZookeeper (Sam Neill, 2001) about a man who is use to living alone & who trying to keep the animals in a zoo alive in the midst of a war, whose life is interrupted by the appearance of a boy & his mother to seek refuge in the zoo.

And #Slipaway (2017) which is about the friendship that develops between a retired nurse suffering from Alzheimer's and a homeless & drug addicted musician.

Each both have a "surprise" ending & are both well worth watching IMO. I'd rate them both a 7 out of 10.
