buckeyemike Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 My favorite independent film is a documentary about the Massillon Tigers high school football team called "Go Tigers!" I saw it about two years ago...if you think football is big in WNY, try Massillon, Ohio. Where the team has gotten into trouble with the Ohio High School Athletic Association for holding kids back a year so they would be bigger and stronger football players. The writer and director, Kenneth Carlson, is a Massillon native and went to Massillon Washington High. He tells the story of the 1999 Tigers in an impartial way, with a bit of a jaundiced eye toward the town that only an insider would have. And not everyone in town is a fan...some of the students who don't like football feel disenfranchised and disconnected. The movie is rated "R"...plenty of bad language and underage drinking. Just like a fall Sunday in Orchard Park, New York. "Go Tigers!" is a good movie. I recommend it highly. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. K Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 The End of August at the Hotel Ozone 45853[/snapback] Wow! Now THAT's an obscure movie. I thought I was the only person in the world who saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Here's a few: "Hey! Stop Stabbing Me!" (funny!) "Killer Klowns from Out Space" (funny!) "Pi" (very good) "Firefly" (ok, so it's a cancelled TV series -- it's still obscure and was AWESOME until Fox killed it... Look for "Serenity," the movie followup to the series, in April) CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 "Repo Man" starring Emilio Estevez, produced in 1984 by Pacific Arts, ownde by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees. Very strange and darkly funny. These is a very subtle joke about product placements in movies...because they couldn't get any placement deals, every product in this movie is a white-and-blue-label generic product. Everything is called "BEER" or "BEANS" or whatever. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087995/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man its my favorite special edition dvd. http://www.videoranch.com/Merchant2/mercha...&Store_Code=VRS Just had to get it. Comes with the Repo Man sound track cd(which is fantastic btw if your iinto LA punk.) Hell Suicidal Tendencies " Institutionalized" and "When the stevestojan hits the fan" by The Circle Jerks is worth it alone. Also comes with a Repo Man Comic Book type thing as well. Nice set.
