How could you not like Being John Malkovich. That's one of my favorites. And Shadow of the Vampire is the other one you're thinking of. I thought it was ok, but I like the original film that it's about a lot more.Originally Posted by Daghain
Being John Malkovich. GAWD, I did not like that one.
I liked the vampire one he did though. I can't think of the name of it right now.
Awesome, I really did like Saving Grace!Thank Monte for this one. We got in a side conversation in the Star Wars thread, and I thought it would be interesting to see what your favorite indie films were.
Off the top of my head, and in no particular order, here are mine:
Trainspotting
Little Voice
Hard Candy
Magdeline Sisters
Ghost World
Spun
Dancer in the Dark
Requiem for a Dream
Amelie
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Igby Goes Down
Japanese Story
Monsoon Wedding
Pieces of April
Iris
Real Women Have Curves
Tortilla Soup
Saving Grace
The Big Tease
Once I go check DBF's collection, I'm sure my list will be longer.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Did you leave Dogma out on purpose? Or did you simply forget to add it?
Honestly? Because I'm not a big fan of John Malkovich. And I just thought the whole premise was stupid.How could you not like Being John Malkovich. That's one of my favorites.

I like it, but just not as much as the other 3.
Ah! Fair enough.
nosferatu? is that the original film you're talking about?
i had forgotten about welcome to the dollhouse.
Welcome to the Dollhouse! What a great movie that was. I was watching Empire Records the other day and I had totally forgotten that Warren, the thug who steals from them, was the little girl's love interest in Welcome to the Dollhouse.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Yep. Max Schreck was excellent in that film. Very creepy
Ya and the guy who stole the bank deposit and had to sit in the back room and not move from the couch, that was Slayter from Dazed and Confused. and he was on CSI:Miami and then they offed him.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I like that movie too, against my better judgement. I desire nothing more than to insult that movie as being a NBK spoof that somehow makes sex digusting...On the other hand...Rose Mcgowan naked.
I love Doom Generation.

blasphemy!
i love The Unknown with lon chaney and Joan Crawford
it's about an armless knife thrower...
and i can't say much more without ruining it.
it is extremely creepy
suffice it to say everyone needs to go watch it
right now.
There are other worlds than these.

Creepiest ending ever.
BTW, I love John Malkovich.
Hedwig is insanely great. I miss the regular midnite showings here. Damn Laemmle closing...
Donnie Darko, Brazil, Tortilla Soup, 200 Motels and Hot Fuzz all come to mind immediately.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
does Donnie Darko come under this category, too? I didn't pay attention to the studio it was made at, but it struck me as a normal mediocre Hollywood movie.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+1 for getting Gilliam & Zappa in one post!
Brazil is in my top 3 all time [with Yellow Submarine & Pulp Fiction]
Gotta stay true to my influences. Brazil is one of the top 50 movies of all time, period. And 200 Motels is so wonderfully twisted that it never gets old.

I don't believe so.
Nevertheless, it was a fantastic film.

Dazed and confused
The adventures of sebastian cole
Blue velvet
Mean streets (Was independant back in 73)

Okay, I know it's not remotely "indie," but I still love Moulin Rouge.
Moulin Rouge rocked!
Into the Wild was an excellent movie too - very well done and really sucks you in.

I just thought of another one of my favourite indie flicks, has anyone seen bodies rest and motion? I love that film.
After taking that movie quiz in another thread, I'm going to add Run Lola Run to my list. I had completely forgotten about that film.
