Yes, I have lost all flair for humorous article titles. Ripped from Fark, a list of the 50 Greatest Independent Films of all-time - at least according to some British movie magazine called Empire. Damn, do I love lists.
Quick Hits:
Reservoir Dogs #1
Terminator was an independent film? No wonder they showed parts of it so often in my intro film class.
Lots of Horror Films : Night of the Living Dead, Evil Dead, some others. What about Halloween? Wasn't that independent? Saw (though I didn't particularly like it)?
Memento - good nod
I am not sure what it means that a British magazine had almost all Hollywood (or I guess actually American) films, but the only movie that I hadn't seen which I will be adding to my queue is The Descent - which might be in the Bit Torrent universe right now....
