The Film: Indie cinema bites the hand that feeds it, as aspiring director Steve Buscemi's latest shoot falls apart amidst narcissist stars and angry dwarves.
Indie Cred: Every movie movement knows it has come of age when it gets its own piss-take. Watch it, and then imagine this is what happens behind the scenes of every other film on this list.
If It Had Been A Blockbuster: Things would have gone smoothly, because everybody knows nothing ever goes wrong on a Hollywood set. Right?

There is never enough praise for Reservoir Dogs. Nice work.

I often wonder about what classifies a film as 'Indie' these days, films funded on body parts, borrowed credit cards and lottery money? Is it the production, the distribution? I'd class 'Clerks', 'El Mariarchi' and the original 'Evil Dead' on those grounds, but any film that isn't made by a major studio is indie? What's the ratio of independent films made to that of major studios? Or is it more a sensibility to stray away from more familiar genres? Oh and 'Gummo' is incomprehensible s**t, weird for the sake of being weird, too many dead cats for my liking. :)

I've been reading these TF features for a while now and more often than not the comments afterwards are criticisms, most of which i agree with. Yes, they are fun to read, but I'm constantly thinking how much thought really goes into them? On a daily basis there are 50 of the best of this 100 of the best of that... In fact not long ago we had the 100 greatest Harry Potter moments... 100? I do enjoy the Harry Potter films but why not just pick 10 of the really good moments and discuss them in a bit more detail. Seems to be more quantity over quality just to get people coming back to the site. Sometimes it seems so rushed they cant even spell correctly, as if there's some TF warlord cracking a whip behind the feature writers shouting 'MORE, MORE, MORE!!!'. Also, didn't another big film mag do a feature very similar to this only a week ago?
