Favorite Small Studio Movie

[biggdogg173]

Okay here's a little something to think about. What is your favorite movie that wasn't a huge movie at the box office or that was not released and promoted by a major studio?A few of my favorites:1. Bottle Rocket (Owen Wilson)-bumbling criminals with dillusions of grandeur. If you liked Rushmore I think this one is funnier. "On the run from Johnny Law ain't no trip to Cleveland."2. American Movie- Chris Smith documentary on two Wisconsin film makers. Sounds like it would be boring but seriously it is pretty funny. 3. Rushmore- (Bill Murray & Jason Schwartzman)-Funny movie about a kid in a private school, actaully gets funnier the more times you see it.

Clerks

Clerks thats in the top 5. Kevin Smith is a genius, except when it comes to finishing comic book series, but that's a different story.

Billiy Bob's finest hour."What'ya gonna do with that lawn mower blade Karl?""Mmmf, I aim da kill ya with it."JT Walsh was also classic in it."I like a woman with a lotta hair on her arms.""And there, before me, was this thin, crooked, uncircumsized (removed)!""You can imagine how bad I wanted my 25 dollars back."Sadly, I can recite this movie almost word for word. Everyone should check it out if you haven't already seen it.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned this one yet----Resovoir Dogs--Quintin Tarintino's debut film. It was never meant to be released, I believe the story goes. He made the film as a college film school project. MANY great lines in that one.
