Indie films!

[imhappytoday]

We're each very different individuals, and I am curious what are some good independent films you're into I could check out? I don't watch many big movies, I like to keep it a little varied. The last movie I watched was "He died with a Felafel in his hand" and it was really great, I'd suggest it. So! What are your favorites?

Ooh, I liked He Died With a Felafel too.

Lately I've liked Submarine and Dirty Pretty Things. Submarine is a delight and Dirty Pretty Things is, hmm, just that.

I don't know if I'd call it an indie film but I quite liked Melancholia too.

I know I keep a list of fave movies somewhere... I'll dig it up and hopefully be back later. Yay for good movies!

Does Ink count as indie? I quite enjoyed it.

[imhappytoday]

I just saw The Future, directed by Miranda July and Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a really promising up-and-comer.

Excellent films!

I'd also recommend Blue Valentine and Submarine.
