Vagabondage

I recommend any and all Wes Anderson and/or Guy Ritchie films. I'm a huge fan of both directors and they have amazing stuff.

Moonrise Kingdom was A+

Wristcutters: A Love Story
I swear it's not as depressing as it sounds, it's actually my favorite movie xD

...Of your thoughts.

I love that film! I also love Amelie, The Science of Sleep, Unmade Beds..

[We who have Fallen]

Netflix has an over abundance of indie movies and for a while that's all I watched.
Malice in Wonderland (which looked like a tv movie except for how racey it could get at times) was pretty good. INK was my absolute favorite, with the intwined stories and fascinating characters. Wilby Wonderful is fabulous with such amazing characters (due South fans have other reasons to love it) and Hardcore Logo because... Callum Keith Rennie, that's why.

I had a friend who really liked indie movies and recommended a few to me. I don't remember most of them anymore, but I do remember Pi (not the new movie "Life of Pi", just Pi), and The Cube. Then there was one that had to do with Christmas in Australia (which is when I learned that Australia's seasons are reversed from us here in the US.. which makes sense, I just never thought about it), but I can't remember the name of it.

Blindness. A scene in the middle of the movie was really unnerving and sad, but it was entertaining as a whole nonetheless.

[Neptunius]

Amelie was good, but holy hell my favorite has to be Ink.

[ComradeCommissar1945]

Amelie and In Between Days

[Yukienesa]

Rubber. A little used tire rolls around and blows things up with its mind, complete with snarky social commentary about the viewers!

By far my favourite indie movie, even if it does reek of hipster. biggrin
