Not every movie is an Oscar winner or big dollar blockbuster. Some independent or low budget films become personal favorites or even cult classics. Tell us about your favorites that aren't exactly household names.

The Amateurs--Respectable cast as a bunch of nitwits in a small, impoverished former steel town who convince locals to invest in a porn film. William Fichtner is absolutely brilliant. No nudity (except Ted Danson's butt) but language and situations that are not for the timid. Hilarious.

Burn After Reading--Spy movie with an amazing cast....Pitt, Clooney, Malkovich, Swinton, McDormand. Veteran character (and insurance pitchman) J. K. Simmons steals the show in his role of a senior CIA officer. Overlooked comedy classic.
 
I liked The Changeling with George C Scott. It wasn't the best movie acting wise for him nor was it a special effects bonanza, it was an old fashioned ghost story.

I've seen Burn After Reading; very quirky and fun!
