Favorite Indie Movies

neverstray

I really dislike most of the big Hollywood or New York movies. I mean, they're all right. But, they are so predictable and formula and it's just boring most of the time. But, I love the small indie movies. Last night I watched one called Breaking Upward. It was pretty good. I recommend it.

Any rec's for some good indie movies? You get bonus points if they are already on Netflix.

Well I disliked Breaking Upwards giving it 2 stars, sorry but my recommendations would be something like
Timer
Puppy
Heavenly Creatures
Neo Ned
Never Forever
Brick
Quid Pro Quo
World's Greatest Dad
Downloading Nancy
Altered (not sure if considered indie)

Cell 211

Secretary. Is this an indie movie? Stars James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And I saw a good sci-fi one called Monster about a year ago.

Oh and American Movie because its a documentary and that makes it just so much more amazing.

Really loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Lords of Dogtown, American History X, Into the Wild, Requiem for a Dream, Spun. I guess off the top of my head those would be my top picks

'Oldboy' by Park Chan-wook. Violent, intense and one of my all time favorites. In fact, the whole Vengeance trilogy by Park is on Netflix.

HIGHLY recommended.

LilRedRooster

"Flirting" with Nicole Kidman and Thandie Newton when they were wee young 'uns.

Also, has anyone seen 'Twin Peaks' - one and only television series by David Lynch? Just discovered it. So awesome. (and on Netflix, duh.)

the Fat Boy Chronicles and the Full Monty are my favorite indie movies

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - on Netflix instant queue too.

edit: And I agree with that dude. Raiders of the Lost Ark was best. Bringing a gun to a knife fight, Nazi-face-melting spirits and snakes......gotta love it.

Let the right one in (original, not Hollywood remake)

THESE.
I loved Let The Right One In, thought it was beautifully done and it was so touching.
The book was a real struggle to read, though

I really loved Martyrs, it was brutal but brilliant.
There are a few others but I'll have to rummage around my DVD shelves!
