The Station Agent (2003)Directed by Thomas McCarthy, rated R, 89 minutes
The Station Agent is an engaging and subtly funny independent comedy-drama about a dwarf who, after his only friend dies and leaves his money to him, moves to New Jersey to buy an abandoned train station and live in solitude. But, soon enough some of the people in the city become curious about him. The plot is a bit thin, but each of the characters are deeply interesting and complex, and the film is filled with little moments of hilarity. The Station Agent was made on a tiny budget, but manages to look beautiful and create 
memorable and genuinely fascinating characters. You'll like it if: You like independent comedies, character driven films, films set in small towns, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Visitor or Snow Angels.
