    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

    none of these are indies

    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.

    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)
    Rampage (not sure considered indie)

    Thats just a few and all are instant right now and all I gave 4-5 stars, hope you like or are interested in at least one :)

    That's OK, I strongly disliked Timer. LOL.

    Thanks though. I plan on watching all of these.

    I'll be checking out these movies! Although I thought Timer was terrible.

    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!

    Welcome to the Dollhouse
    Delicatessen

    Let the Right One In
    Dead Man's Shoes
    This is England (as someone else has mentioned film and then the tv series that followed)
    Slacker

    This Film is Not Yet Rated - very interesting.

    Thanks. I couldn't get through Anvil for some reason. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

    I'd have to cast my vote for River Red! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158154/?licb=0.684904727477787 But only because I was an extra during filming! :bigsmile:

    It made me cry. I've actually watched it twice but I can see why others might not like it.

    I forgot to also mention "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" and "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains"
