Fantastic movie.

 
What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. I HIGHLY recommend it, seriously underrated movie. I'll just copy the Netflix description

When physician Chris Nielson dies in a car accident and goes to heaven, his distraught wife commits suicide and ends up in hell. Risking eternal damnation, Nielson leaves paradise and embarks on an epic journey to save his spouse from Hades.

When I first noticed that movie on netflix I thought it was just another lame movie from the Nineties. It seems like I was wrong. I'll check it out sometime.

I've seen this, its not really sci-fi but I found it intresting from the idea of a close nit group of friends where someone reveals something totally unbelievable. The fact that they have known him years and trust him and the divisions it causes amongst them was the angle of the movie really, but its worth a watch its a bit of a one off.
 
Genre: Independent Dramas
Title: Choking Man

(taken from IMDB)
The social anxiety of a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher working in a Queens diner provides the psychological engine that powers this blend of drama and magical realism.

Best of all it shows a General Electric three cubic foot mini-fridge with an imitation wood grain door.
