I have not found this to be the case, but I'm using the app. I'll check the desktop version from now on. I find the "production" area but clicking it asks me to join a pro account in order to see budget-related info.

You can also look for the film on The-Numbers.com

Obviously, it depends if the information is available, and many old films or more obscure films don't have budget information available.
Just tried IMDB and Kong vs Godzilla's budget is listed, but Synchronic's isn't, for example. So I was right the first time, it's not just the app.
Thanks for all the input, everybody.

That's been my problem. I can always google "low budget films" and watch one of them. But when I'm looking up a specific film, that one never seems to have a budget listed.

Funny thing is, I've watched so many wretched B-movies from the 30s that a solid half of the films I've seen this year probably cost less than a Million, I just can't confirm any of them.
(thanks for the list!)

I was finally able to verify that one of the films I've watched had a budget under a million, so you can all rest easy tonight. Our long national nightmare is over.
Next question: Did we ever agree on a system for this one? I'm now accepting applications.
J. Are we there yet?

What I had in mind for this one was that we each suggest 2-3 films for everyone to choose from, but that went down the tube as soon as everyone started sharing huge lists of recommendations. Which is cool in a way since you have people sharing their love for tons of films.
Personally, I'm afraid I'm in the habit of endlessly suggesting that everyone watches Incendies and Z.

Since there's no specific system in place, I hereby pledge that I will watch the first suggestion I get, provided that A/ I haven't seen it before and B/ I can watch it for free.
Anything goes, so if the first suggestion I get is a 4-hour snuff film of puppies being murdered, I'm watchin' it. Bring it.

Thanks pal, I was afraid I was opening myself up for a Salo viewing.
Lots of good ideas, but I think I'll go with this one since you've been incessantly pushing (I mean strongly recommending) it forever.

I’d like to recommend Witchhammer, a Czechoslovakian film about the with trials that was infamously held in their past.
Based on actual events, and the actual participants portrayed, it is taken from actual court documents.
It’s available to stream on Amazon.
Highly recommend

I will unabashedly evangelize for that film til the cows come home. And I'm not even saying it's a 10/10 film, but rather one that I think a lot of people should see.
It recently returned to my radar when I learned the director is in charge of an upcoming Marvel film. I wonder if Brie had a hand in his hiring?

I just watched it recently myself, so I’m trying to bring its attention to everyone I can.

Quick question. Profile is finally being released this week at a local (ish) movie theatre. However, it was first presented back in 2018 at the Berlin Film Festival. It’s just now making its way to the states.
My question is, would it count toward 2021 films? I’m leaning towards no but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
For those who aren’t familiar with it, it’s directed by Timur Bekmambetov (of Nightwatch and it’s sequel, Daywatch fame). It’s about a journalist who creates a fake on line profile to investigate a terrorist recruiter and finds herself questioning her beliefs.

As usual, the answer is of the 'up to you' variety. I was in a similar situation in 2019 with 'The Upside' (the terrible American remake of Intouchables), which had a wide release that year, but was privately screened in the Toronto Film Festival in 2017. At first I included it in my list, but it didn't sit right so I eventually replaced it with another film.
