Here's a small handful that I think are great:
Peaceful Warrior
Dark City
Memento
Somewhere In Time
Dead Heat (reminds me of Lethal Weapon, as a horror) :P
Dead Again
Uncorked (AKA Higher Love, the one with Minnie Driver)

Donnie Darko is a qualified cult hit, so it sort of could be considered a sleeper.
S.O.B. had trouble in the theaters and has received scant praise, but it isn't exactly a "hidden" movie.
My choices of "sleepers" haven't been aired for a very long time and haven't been available on even VHS, let alone DVD. However, somewhere, someone might have finally released one or more:
Privilege (1967)

Billy Elliot, about an 11 year old coal miner's son who wants to be a ballet dancer. It's a beautiful, heart-warming, and funny film that didn't get much recognition from American audiences.

A movie called "S.O.B." It was made by Blake Edwards, and starred some pretty big names, including his wife Julie Andrews. In fact, Julie Andrews actually does a topless scene (very brief), but you see her "assets".
It was also William Holden's last film, I believe.

Watch "Secret's Out" on REEL channel (Directv ch. 238). Every week, Leonard Maltin reviews several little-known, but worth-watching, movies.

I was blown away by "Donnie Darko". I did like "The Machinist" too.
