This is a pretty unknown film I guess, yet I really like it. Even in the end you're still not sure what exactly happened, did he make it all up or has he really left earth. :S
It's hard to explain what exactly the film is all about but here is a short summary.
''After a mugging incident at New York's Grand Central Station, Prot, a man who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX, is turned over to a public mental hospital and the care of Dr. Mark Powell. When medication fails to alter Prot's insistence that he is visiting from another world on a fact-finding mission, Powell gets more involved with his patient, who seems to have a calming effect on the other residents of his ward. At first convinced that Prot is a delusional who can be treated, Powell begins to wonder if his bizarre patient's story is true, particularly after the hospital's doctors find that Prot possesses the baffling ability to see ultraviolet light. As the date grows nearer when Prot claims he must leave Earth (a "class BA-III planet"), Powell becomes increasingly concerned that a psychiatric breakthrough must occur by then.'' -> source: starpulse
I really recommend this film! :)
