No time for actual, original thoughts from my head, so instead another list! I've taken Empire movie magazine's "50 Greatest Independent Films" list and turned it into one of those internet meme things. (And yes, this is an ordered list, so go read the article first if you want to be surprised by their choice for #1.) Bold for ones I've seen, asterix if I own the DVD. Only 26 out of 50, which ruins my 68% streak.
