Great Movies for Under $1(million)!

Earlier this month over at Always Watching (shout out to Adam Quigley and the /filmcast!) posted on hell of a list: 25 Fantastic Indie Gems made for less than $1 Million.  Some famously cheap movies turn up like Clerks and Bad Taste, but there's quite a few that I didn't realize were so cheap, like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Brick.  Also, just about every movie on here is either a favorite of mine, or one of those "I can't believe I still haven't seen that yet!" type movies, so this list is going right in my favorites.  Big ups to Eric over at Geekadelphia for knowing what I like and sending this my way.  

Polish Movie Posters! More awesome than ours!

A good friend to filmadelphia, Eric Smith over at geekadelphia just posted some awesome posters from Poland. These things are freakin gorgeous. As I was explaining to Eric earlier, I find the Empire Strikes Back poster to be masturbatory, meaning worthy of my masturbation. That's my favorite movie and that poster is just awesome.

My only concern with these is that, while they may be far more interesting and beautiful than their American counterparts, they are only awesome in retrospect. If we didn't know who or what Indiana Jones was, I don't think that poster would garner much interest from an American audience. But then again, as Eric pointed out, the culture is different there, and perhaps these posters tell them all they need to know.

Who wants one!
