I have long been a fan of low budget films. They feel meatier to me than the high dollar variety. Give me "Clerks" over "Erin Brokovich" anyday. "Pi" and "Chuck and Buck" were both excellent.

Is it me, or does Chris always seem just flabberghasted when others don't share his opinion?

I second that, mercurius, but can't help thinking it would dissapoint. To do its' true justice, the film would have to be enormous in length and budget.

Wasn't there a british tv series?
