Benny & Joon (1993)

Plot: Benny is an automotive mechanic who looks after his eccentric, mentally ill sister, Joon, who is prone to accidental arson and outbursts. When Benny loses a poker bet to a friend, he is forced to take in Sam, a whimsical, silent-film-obsessed eccentric who communicates primarily through Buster Keaton-style physical comedy. To Benny's surprise, Sam and Joon form a deep, unconventional bond that challenges Benny's overprotective nature and changes all of their lives forever.
