Top 5. 0 modern day low budget movies In this age of multi- million dollar blockbusters and eye- watering fees paid to some actors, you may forget we’re in an age of austerity. However, for the vast majority of the film industry, there is no huge vat of money, nor has there ever been. But this hasn’t stopped some of the finest films of recent years being made on a relative shoe- string, and in some cases, quite literally with a shoe- string. I reckon filmmaking thrives at the sharp end, and low budgets mean more creative ideas, and as a result, more engaging films. To prove this, here is a list of what I consider to be the finest 5. There is a breathtaking array of recognisable genre pictures in here, too, with budgets rangin from $1. A few caveats before we start, though – contemporary is defined by being the last 1.

The film must be English language, and must have had a theatrical release. So no matter how good your mate Dave’s film was, it’s not going in. Sorry Dave. We’ve also put the generally agreed budget beneath each film, although without being directly involved with their making, there’s no way to know precisely how much money was invested.

Snatch (2. 00. 0) $1. Comfortably the film with the most top drawer talent on this list, Snatch brings together Brad Pitt, Benicio del Toro and yes, the mighty Jason Statham together in Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn’s final team up to date. It may be fashionable to bash Ritchie these days, but Snatch is a smartly written and stylishly directed gangster thriller which holds up under repeated viewings, easily proving itself to be the superior film to the earlier Lock, Stock. Essentially a simple story about the path of a diamond through London ganglands, the pace, wit and performances serve to raise this high above its imitators. On that note, Pitt’s Irish gypsy turn here is something quite special, and surely the only time we’ll see him in a British film made on the relative cheap. Open Water (2. 00. Based around true events, Open Water is a supremely effective horror film about a couple accidentally left behind on a deep water scuba diving trip.

Shot entirely on digital with a well chosen minimalist aesthetic, the film details the chilling simplicity with which the error is made, and how, by not engaging with other people, the couple fatally compound the situation. The use of real sharks also serves to bring a raw terror to proceedings lacking in other films of its type, but the film’s real genius is the physical effect it has on its audience. Open Water is so horrifying because it could easily happen to anyone, and that nagging fear of being left behind is taken to its grim extreme. The characters’ anxiety and mounting dread, and doubt of rescue is reflected in the audience, who are all silently thinking, “That could be me”. The Guard (2. 01. The Mc. Donaghs certainly are an over- achieving family – following Martin’s 2.

In Bruges, came brother John Michael’s alternative take on the buddy cop film, The Guard, with straight- laced FBI man Don Cheadle teaming up with Brendan Gleeson’s somewhat unusual Irish policeman to take down an international drug smuggling gang. It’s sharply written, sincerely played and perfectly pitched, with everyone involved in the production, whether cast or crew, clearly bringing their A- game to the table. It looks great, sounds profane, and cracks along at a blinding pace. It constantly rewards the viewer, never takes itself too seriously, and is a joy to watch. Kill List (2. 01.

Earning rave reviews last year, Ben Wheatley’s follow- up to the excellent Down Terrace didn’t quite do it for me, but is still a textbook example on how to make must- see cinema with pretty much zero money. Gathering together co- funding from a broad range of sources, Wheatley’s Kill List starts as a tense and atmospheric tale about to semi- retired hitmen taking on one last big paying job, before descending into something, well, akin to madness I guess. The performances are all ultra realistic, which only adds to the surreal nature of it all. Ideas are often constrained by the reality of what filmmakers can achieve, so it is exhilarating to see an audacious film such as this appear, and gain the notice it has. The Science Of Sleep (2. The Science Of Sleep is easily Michel Gondry’s most visionary, ambitious project, and I imagine it is a very accurate reflection of what it would be like to be submersed his imagination; surreal, stunning and stop- motion heavy. Stephane is a creative dreamer who moves back to Paris after his father's death.

He embarks on far from conventional attempts to woo his neighbour Stephanie, with whom he eventually forms a relationship. However, it soon becomes clear that his overactive imagination could destroy any future they have, as he spends increasing amounts of time dreaming. In authentic Gondry style, every prop is homemade, resulting in a cardboard, cellophane and sticky tape wonderland.

The film lurches between English, French and Spanish and constantly blurs reality, dreams and make- believe, with truly enchanting and engaging results. The Inbetweeners Movie (2. TV shows that become movies have a notoriously bad pedigree. Especially British comedy shows, which decide to send their cast off on holiday for their big screen adventure. It wasn’t undeserved, either, as amongst the obligatory clunge references, the film remained true to the series’ rather sweet ethos about what makes friendship, as well as finding a fitting ending to the story. Ghost World (2. 00. Of all the recent comic adaptations, who’d have thought it would be this thoughtful, funny, and emotionally spot- on rite of passage movie about two girls coming of age in suburbia that would be one of the best?

Based on the seminal Daniel Clowes comic, this is a faithful transition to the screen that manages to capture all the disaffection, humour and indeed warmth of both Clowes’ work, and life itself. The casting is spot on, with Thora Birch perfect fro Enid, and Scarlett Johansson’s blankness lending itself well to Rebecca, a girl living in her friend’s shadow. But it’s Steve Buscemi who steals the film as middle- aged loner Seymour, notable for his record collection and ordering giant glasses of milk.

The great soundtrack also doesn’t hurt either. Another Earth (2.

There seems to be a recent trend in thoughtful science- fiction made for very little money. I most definitely applaud that trend, and Another Earth is one of the best. On the night a duplicate of Earth appears in the Solar System, student Rhoda drunkenly crashes her car, putting musician John in a coma and killing his wife and child. Years later, a guilt- ridden Rhoda begins a relationship with John, who’s unaware of who she is and the role she played in his misery. The concept of the mirror Earth is not integral to the story, but acts as a filter for ideas and thoughts. What would you do if you could meet yourself? How does one action affect your life?

Can you change the past and make yourself a better person? These are the philosophical questions posed by Another Earth, and it does so in a subtle manner which doesn’t preach at the audience. It’s a great example of independent filmmaking with grand aspirations. Eagle Vs Shark (2. The vast majority of films are not financed by big Hollywood studios.

In fact, many of them aren’t American, and must rely on the more modest resources of national film associations. Such is the case with New Zealand comedy Eagle Vs Shark. The script was developed at a Sundance workshop and then sold, leading to the New Zealand film commission putting up the budget for it. It’s a slightly sour romantic comedy, concerning the love of burger girl Lily for Jarrod (Flight Of The Conchords’ Jemaine Clement), and their awkward and sometimes disturbing courtship.

There’s an odd charm to the film, which is mainly due to the winsome performances, and the cute animation interludes raise it above the ordinary for sure.
