You don't tell which genre of movies you prefer. So I'll just give you a couple of recommendations with different flavours. I really don't know what qualifies as a low budget movie. But I'll list some that didn't cost anywhere near as much as 'Avatar' to make. But to a common wage slave as myself it's still fortunes spent.
If you haven't seen 'Slumdog Millionaire' ($15mn budget) you really should. It's a damn fine movie!
The movie 'Machete' ($25mn budget) is another good one. Very violent. Sparked some debate because of what some consider is a touchy subject.
I would also like to recommend 'Gran Torino' ($33mn budget). Great movie with and directed by Clint Eastwood. Aged, but still tough as Harry Calahan... maybe for the last time on the big screen.
I have a soft spot for stoner movies so if you're up for some cheap laughs I must recommend 'Pineapple Express' ($25mn budget). It's pretty much what you can expect from a stoner movie... immature, lowbrow humour with loads of verbal scatology and some pretty goofy characters getting involved in situations they shouldn't be in. It's not Oscar's material. But no one would expect that from an action filled pot comedy in the first place. |
some I haven't seen yet, and slumdog was the best. ditto on the Pineapple movie, a bit lowbrow. It's like junkfood though, sometimes you gotta have it. |

Have you seen:
The Stoning of Soria M?
It was based on a true story *my favorite kind of movie* about an Iranian woman who was falsely accused of adultery by her adulterous husband who
convinced the town to stone her to death. Everything about this movie is well done, and it felt real. A bit graphic at the end, but very compelling. |
