Well, I'm not sure if its an Indie or not, but there is a film called "Once Were Warriors". It's foreign from New Zealand but I found it at my local Blockbuster. Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore Documentary Better than Chocolate Frieda (sp) Lots more, but that's a start for you. What kind of films are you into?
have you ever seen white oleander? I know a lot of people don't like it, but, i LOVE it..it's dark i think. I really want to see the virgin suicides, saved, and the garden state, so, stuff like that.
I also loved White Oleander. There is an older movie out there with a VERY young (like 13) Matt Dillon called 'The Edge' that was good and dark in a way. Adaptation (not sure if it's indie, but I think you'll like it) My brain is getting tired, but I've seen alot and we probably have the same taste, I'll think about it and post more on an earlier night. peace & light p.s. Where in Michigan? I'm in Holland...(ya ya..I know, don't say it)
Pieces of April was fantastic. Box of Moonlight rocked Bagdad Cafe Passing Stones Mystic River Amadeus, My favortie movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape my second favorite movie, same director as Pieces of April. Leonardo DiCapprio's ONLY fine moment on film, IMO. Do you get either IFC or Sundance Channel on your cable? They have all indies all the time. My favortite channel. I HATED Adaptation. What a waste of talent.
white oleander is a good movie.....i was watching ifc late the other nite and there was a good, but different movie on there called 'dancing at the blue iguana'....has anyone seen it?
i loved white oleander, i loved the book too. Pices of April was good, it was different. I will be sure to check out those movies, I wonder if my blockbuster would have them? :H Mystic River indie, I don't think so, no, but it was very good still.
bad boy bubby.... igby goes down.... brotherhood of the wolf(not a indie but a foreign but very good and scared the pants off me).... wonder boys...
i love indie films. i enjoyed white oleander, the book was amazing. i enjoyed pieces of april, cherish, me without you, steal this movie, bully, and im sure there are so many more.. i love underground films with good taste, hehe.. nah movies are all good..
I want to see Jim Jarmuch's new film "coffee and cigarettes" I think its called....his last one ghost dog was good too.
Fun made in 9 with alicia witt and renee humphrey. I saw it a couple years ago, but I remember it being my favorite indie movie ever. Also reqiuem for a dream. A well made movie, though it is depressing and dark.
"Smoke Signals" and "Skins" are both excellent. Based on novels by Sherman Alexie, one of my faves. Also.... "Big Eden" "The Business of Fancydancing" "Fubar" (not exactly Indie, but you don't see it around anywhere, and it's funny as shit) "My Life As A Dog" "What the *Bleep* Do We Know?" (not sure if that's on video yet though) There's a start for you. I highly recommend the first two, they're very good and very emotionally touching.
yeah saved would be an indie film.. i want to see that myself, never got too.. requiem for a dream is an excellent film, i think they show that to every 10th grade health class in america.. there are so many awesome movies that aren't mainstream that are just amazing..
Most canadian movies are indpendent,. or atleast come off that way okay so we dont spend alot... shut up... lol bravo.ca is a site for a channel which is very "artsy" and they sponsor movies so if you wanna watch some... watch that....
Oh, I thought Mystic River was indie. Penn and Robbins and all. Hmmm, You aren't confusing it with Mystic Pizza are you? LOL! I don't go to the show much (lots of kids at home) but I can't wait for Napolean Dynamite to come out on DVD. It looks fantastic.
