So I saw this voting thread and it caused me some trouble.

One,because sometimes people differentiate between independently produced/distributed films and the quirky genre that came to define that scene. I also didn't want to pick any indie movies that were produced or distributed by companies like Fox Searchlight since that felt like cheating haha. And I didn't want to pick a movie people have seen before cause where's the fun in that. Even more troublesome, it was hard for me to narrow down my selection.

So I'm gonna divide this into well known Indies and lesser known and maybe you all should reply which one you'd like.

Well known:

1. Donnie Darko

2. Requiem for a Dream

3. Trainspotting

4. Being John Malkovich

5. Little Miss Sunshine (yeah, this one is Fox but oh well haha)

6. Primer

7. Boyhood

8. Dazed and Confused

9. Run Lola Run

Lesser known:

1. Pi

2. Hunger

3. Funny Games (1997)

4. La Haine

5. Chungking Express

6. Beau Travail

7. Frances Ha

8. Me and You and Everyone We Know

9. Submarine

It's hard for me to pick a favorite there. Really, really hard. Three I haven't seen myself, but I do love Hunger, La Haine, Chungking Express, Primer, Donnie Darko, and Being John Malkovich.
