I am a big indie film buff. I love watching movies, enjoying movies that not a whole lot know about. How about you. This isn't a indie thread, that is just my personal preference.
Here are a couple of my favorites that you should check out. Note, Some of these are extremely disturbing films, and should not be viewed lightly. Check all ratings to ensure that you will feel okay with the film. Also, no lecturing about how inappropriate these are for a teenager.
American Psycho- Extremely frightening portrait of an insane man. Must see.
Hard Candy- A teen girl decides to punish a pedophile. I will go no further than that. Guys, you will cringe. This is certain.
The Magdeline Sisters- A scathing attack on the Magdeline Asylums of Ireland.
Donnie Darko- A confusing film that also deals with themes of insanity and death.
Princess Mononoke- The greatest animated film ever made. An epic, sprawling tale that deals with themes of honor, responsibility, and respect for the enviornment. Hayao Miyazaki's Magnum Opus.
Into the Wild- Quite possibly the only movie I know of that can bring tears to my eyes. No, I am not afraid to admit that. A deeply moving true story that tugs at your heart strings, and does not let go.
Almost Famous- My personal favorite movie of all time, rivaled only by American Beauty. A teen leaves home ignorant, innocent, niave. He comes back wiser and heartbroken. Not exactly an indie, but not terribly popular, this film just resonates with me.
I wanna see the Coen Brother's adaptation of True Grit. I really love their work. What are some of your favorites, recent finds, wishlists?
