Updated list — 1 year ago

I updated the list to match the current list at the source URL.


THE SEA INSIDE — 1 year ago

IT IS THE BEST FILM I EVER SEE, PLEASE ADD THIS FILM TO YOUR LISTS AND SEE IT.

COME ON! SEE IT! COME ON!


why redux — 2 years ago

why isnt the original apocalypse now release listed here instead of redux

lost in translation was HORRIBLE….hardly a best


Change the title of this list — 2 years ago

I’d say 90% on this list are studio pictures. Again, another user generated meaningless list.

Florianópolis

Independent? — 2 years ago

I am not sure what on eearth thisis supposed to mean in terms of this list?


Clerks? — 2 years ago

Completely independent- Smith put it mostly on his credit cards and it’s promoted him to crazy success…become a total classic and generated several other films…


No Star Wars? — 3 years ago

How does The Empire Strikes Back not make this list? It was funded completely by Lucas.


i will never finish this list — 3 years ago

because I refuse to watch Requiem for a Dream.


Terminator? — 3 years ago

Excuse me? Terminator? How exactly does Terminator qualify as an independent film?
