Blair Witch Project

Forgot that was a low budget, pretty groundbreaking film making by all accounts.

I think the first Saw would also fall into he low budget films as well

Clerks

The Angels Share (I'm not sure if this actually low budget but it has that feel so I think it's a fair assumption)

Eagle vs Shark

Chopper

Dog Soldiers

Hunger

One Day Removals.
Definitely a low budget film, made in Aberdeen and very funny. I think it’s still available on YouTube for nowt as well.

Chopper is a great shout. Could also add Eric Bana in the brilliant performance thread as well.

I doubt McVicar cost much but, what a great film.

Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town.

Not only is it low budget, it's a cracking low budget zombie movie AND it "stars" Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton.

There's a really really famous one. Cost about £20k to make and has made over £500 million. Don't think I'm allowed to post the name of it on here though.

Riff Raff (I'm assuming it was reasonably low budget). Typical Ken Loach, so you can be pretty sure what you're getting! Early starring role for Robert Carlyle.

Breaking Away. I saw it at an all nighter in the Odeon in the early 80s. It was the first and only time I’ve heard an audience clapping at the end of a film.

Does Vanishing Point fit the low budget genre? Love this film.
