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.Quote:

Halloween.
El Mariachi and the original Mad Max was about $400k austrailian
I remember watching a film about 15 years ago when I was in college called Bad Boy Bubby, very strange film lol.
Shivers
Rabid
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.
Does Gregory’s girl count😄
"Bella, bella" 😁Quote:

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.
That Sinking Feeling
Brilliant film.Quote:

If you find it on You Tube or elsewhere it’s a great movie ( well 6 Short movies)
Class film. The bit with the polis chase is hilarious and the memorable line from the guy that works in the accounts dept "here, 60 x 90 thats mair than a hundred"Quote:

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