Saltzman Sees...Stealing Home (1988)

Stealing Home is the story of a washed-up baseball player, played by Mark Harmon, who is called back home to handle the ashes of his childhood sweetheart/ first love who had committed suicide. As he searches for what to do with them, he remembers the past and the relationship they had. In doing so he finds himself again.  Jodie Foster is magnificent as Katie Chandler.

Despite a very strong cast and even more compelling storyline, it only grossed $7 million at the box office.  Most people have never heard of this movie, which is sad.  It is a terrific movie and the Most Underrated Movie of 1988.
