Favorite random non smaller budget films?

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Three of my favorite low budget movies are The Man from Earth, Moon, and Primer. They are all fairly dialogue heavy with small casts and philosophical/science discussions.

2.) The cell

I too have always felt "The Cell" was underrated. Good flick.

Hmmm not sure if this qualifies as "obscure" but one of my favorite movies of all time is a Korean film called Oldboy. It won tons of awards and was actually pretty well received here in the US too...but I suppose there are still a lot of people who haven't heard of it before since it is a foreign film. I wouldn't suggest it for the faint of heart....or stomach for that matter. It is a pretty hardcore film that can be hard for some to watch.

*shrug* I don't really know which movies are obscure. I tend to surround myself with groups of people that watch all the same things I do so my idea of what is popular/not popular is kind of skewed.

I understand that, The cell is one of those movies i can watch 10 times and not get sick of... I'll look up Oldboy I like foreign films a lot. Chinese horror film are my favorite they are always twisted. I dig it.

Well,if you like twisted, you will undoubtedly love it. It brings twisted to a whole new level....lol

I also loved Oldboy, Moon, and Man from Earth.
I watch a lot of more obscure films but I can't really bring any to mind right now that I adore..
One thing I love though- are films with strange sick kind of attractions or characters..such as Shadowboxer. I loved that movie..idk..lots of interesting factors..with the characters, and also I loved Strange Days..I'll take Ralph Fiennes as Lenny any day over his character in the English Patient :]

Wrestling Ernest Hemmingway, Moon, Death and the Maiden

Is Memento low-budget or did it just seem like it b/c of the cinematography? I love that flick. Keep watching it to put it together in my mind.

It had a budget of $5 million. That's pretty darn low.

American Pyscho
&
Donnie Darko (not sure if this one was low budget; but I LOVE it)

I liked all of the above ^^^^ All of them..so when are we all going to the moviehouse in our area that serves beer and plays foreign and smaller films? *looks at iphone* I'm open this Friday night!

Another favorite of ours. I've seen it several times and never grow tired or bored with it. The way the story unfolded was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

Okay so this isn't really low low budget but Kung Fu Hustle was an awesome movie. If you've not seen it or have thought about seeing it "someday" just do it now.

Kung Fu Hustle is hilarious... love that lady

Obscure? Hmm...

"The Burbs", and "Return to Oz"
