Empire Online has a feature on the
fifty greatest independent films, giving
Reservoir Dogs the nod and
Donnie Darko the silver medal. (
Terminator gets the bronze, which blows my mind for a number of reasons, mostly because I've never thought of it as an indie film. Also because it's not
that good.)
I would have ranked
Memento and
Being John Malkovich higher, and probably also
Run Lola Run, and have come around to the opinion that
Clerks is very much overated -- as is
Sideways, which is benefiting unfairly from just having been released. But it's a good list, especially for the movies you haven't seen, or
haven't seen in a while. (via
Boing Boing)
(Wasn't
Bottle Rocket an indie film? Where the hell is
Bottle Rocket?)
