Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
I couldn't even watch it all.
Even as a kid.

That's right

Take it away, Chumloofah!

Two millionaires frame a successful executive for a crime he didn't commit and replace him with a no-goodnik, wise-cracking street guy.
With hilarious consequences.

Goooooaaaaaal!

Here's an obscure one, although it drew some attention at the Academy Awards some years back.

A boy watches his family and clan gets wiped out by a band of black clad villains. He is captured and is forced to show them the way to the other families in the area. He is, of course, a resourceful hero, and sets them up.
Last hint: The people in this movie are the "aboriginals" of their country, and the story is an ancient one of theirs, told in an action filled style.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Ok, it is obscure, but it was nominated in the category "best foreign film" a "few years" back.

EDIT: One more hint: A US "remake" of sorts has been made this year. I say "remake" coz it's not really, it's more like freely based on the original movie and it has the same title (in English).

Ok, one more hint: The movie is about a Saami legend.

[A. J. Raffles]

Well, in that case, Juni should know, because he's geographically closest (OK, maybe not).

[Mighty Midget]

Geez! No curiosity? No interest in unknown movies?

Ok, the movie is "Pathfinder"/"Ofelas".

Someone else take over.

Okay.  How about this one.

A group of teenagers are in a special hospital wing for various sleep deprevation problems.
They will do ANYTHING not to fall asleep.

Sleepless and Loving It?

Nice try, but I'm afraid not.

Nightmare on elm street?
That and invasion of the body snatchers are the only flicks i can recall where folks don't want to be napping.
