    Best movies made on a shoestring budget

    Seems like every movie these days costs a hundred-million, yet so many of them are crap just the same. What are some of the best movies made with tiny budgets?

    Ginger Snaps-one of the best werewolf films I have ever seen. Looks to have cost about a buck-fifty.

    Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog-told the story of someone's fall into villainy a million times better than the Star Wars prequals for less than one-percent of the budget.

    Clerks-hilarious and thought-provoking. Cost about as much as cheesburger and fries.

    Others?

    I think "El Mariachi" is the most famous example.

    I was about to say that as well. I enjoyed the hell out of that movie when it was first released on VHS.

    JAWS - not a small budget for the time, but less than they needed.
