'Happiness'- no real big time actors, but many that you will recognize. Small and quirky film, mostly centered around real life dramatic events but with silly and quirky twists, sometimes way outa left field but still maintaining itself believable. The best way to describe it, a dark and sad comedy. I know doesn't make sense. Anyways, it's not for everyone, there are some really disturbing scenes in this movie which some will find funny and yet other wil find offensive, so be warned but either way it's very entertaining and remember that it is a comedy at heart.

'Goat'- The Earl Manigault story- It's a movie about the greatest basketball player that never made it. I know there's others like this out there but this one is the real deal IMO and it's so much more than just a basketball story. Great acting from Don Cheadle and Forrest Whitaker in this one. This was the one that put Cheadle on the map IMO.

'Disappearing Acts'- This is one of those romantic dramas. Not something that I'm really a big fan of mind you, but this one worked for me. Wesley Snipes and Sanaa Lathan team up again on this one like they did in Blade, but this time Sanaa isn't his mom... Anyway, great flick to watch with your significant other.

'King of the Jungle'- This is John Leguizamos best acting up to date. I really didn't think of him as much of an actor until I saw this movie. Intense and gritty urban drama but told from the perspective of a 'Rainman' or 'Forrest Gump'.

'Fresh'- Same tradition as the previous one urban gritty drama and told from a child's perspective. Never saw 'Searching for Bobby Fisher' but always wanted to. Fans of that one should be able to appreciate this one but keep in mind the obvious differences. The kid in this movie gives a great performance IMO, truly memorable. Btw, Sam Jackson is also in this one.

'Broken Vessels'- I had to actually do a little research on this one. I remembered seeing it but couldn't remember the name or the actors. Very low budget small time movie but very enjoyable and entertaining. It's about two ambulance drivers who are hooked on heroin. Very engrossing film and gives a glimpse into the real world of these paramedics.

There's others of course but I don't remember right now. Anyways these are all low budget films, hence the topic of this thread, so don't expect anything out of this world when you watch them.

It is a comedy/horror film, wherein bruce campbell is Elvis and an old black guy who is JFK , live in an old peoples home , and fight an undead mummy. It sounds terrible , but in reality is ace. It has great emotional resonance for a film of this type and when you hear the storyline you think that this is not possible but it is, at the end of this movie you will have made a connection with the characters. The music for the film excellent and it is very funny. This is a special film.
