lol... Mac and Me.

My bros and I had that taped off our VCR. Almost broke the tape rewinding the part where the kid in the wheelchair falls off the cliff.

I always wondered when I saw Good Burger if the George Clinton scene was a riff on the McDonalds advertisement in Mac and Me.

Four couples meet for Sunday brunch, then discover they are stuck in a house together as the world may be about to end.

Watched it way back in my drinking days and don't remember all that much about it other than I liked it. Not exactly a Diorama (Bottle) flick, but it all takes place in the house once you get there.

I do remember that the only scenes that take place outside of the house are right in the beginning when the new couple (Julia Styles and David Cross) are talking about what to expect when she's introducing him to her friends for the first time, and how silly those concerns seemed once nuclear war started.

And to be honest, I don't even remember the end of the movie or if there really was a nuclear war taking place or not. I do remember that the question itself popped up at least on one occasion if it wasn't a major plotpoint.

Figured I'd throw that movie idea out there for anybody who wanted to get one last decent indie film in them before the real nuclear Armageddon starts.

Project X (2012) ...is it good I have no idea, but Budget $12 million

I know the feeling... My aunt once said that she "likes the idea of people". That about sums it up for me. I prefer hanging out with one or just several friends at a time and don't want anything to do with big get-togethers anymore. Even better if we're working on a project or something when hang out instead of sitting around and doing nothing.

I guess $20 Mil is fine in 2026.

We're probably well beyond Indie at that level, but the title of the thread was low budget AND indie flicks, so $20 Million is certainly low-budget compared to anything Disney puts out on the regular.

This was a fun movie...

I know there will never be a lot of us, but it always warms my heart when I see somebody else trying to break free of the Matrix.

Because for many of you, the algorithm isn't just feeding you anymore.

The algorithm has gotten to know you better than you know yourselves.

You have become the part of algorithm.

I'd say that The Mask is probably too big budget for this thread, just because it's 30 years old.

I'm not saying that you need to bust out the inflation calculator every time you post here, but at only $18 Million the budget in 2026 would be over $40 Million today, which I don't consider to be low-budget at all.

I think $20 Million in 2026 dollars and below would be a good framework for movies in this thread.

I watched "Wild in the Streets" (1968) with the old man the other day. That was pretty fun for a low budget movie of the time. My old man saw it in the theater when he was 16 and said he bought the album. Pretty sweet soundtrack, although two of the songs have the same titles as other songs from around the time that made it a bit confusing. I know one of them was "The Shape of Things To Come". That title has been used many times, including by Audioslave. I actually thought he was talking about the Yarbirds song when he first mentioned it, but that song is actually called "Shapes of Things".

When they played the song "Fourteen or Fight", it was driving me nuts trying to figure out which song I'd heard before that had the same notes as the melody of the chorus of that song... (Starting at 1:24)

After trying about a million combinations of words on google and youtube I finally somehow found it...

1967, huh? Well who the hell ripped off who?

Well... that was a remake. The original was from 1965.

Mystery solved.

Oh, right... Yes. That was Richard Pryor on drums. I never seen him anywhere close to that young before. He had a good line or two in the movie, but his comedic chops were severely underutilized.
