Napoleon Dynamite was superb film that cost only $400,000 to produce, yet it grossed $46,000,000 worldwide. I have seen it twice and will probably watch it again.

Your favorite low budget film
I gotta say Mallrats and Gingersnaps would have to be on the top of my list.

I would have to say paranormal activity is one of the greatest low budget movies. It was made under $15,000 and in 10 DAYS! The only other movie I can think of that was that low budget would have to be.............oh yea SAW!!! It was made it 18 days and all shot in one warehouse. Nice!

Yep. And it had a nationwide release and is available on dvd in shops and online.
This is a link to an article about the making of the film that came out in July.

God, that really is impressive. I'll have to see it just because of the fact it was made with such little money.
I don't know much about it, but I've heard a couple of people say how bad it is, as if that was a huge surprise. I'm thinking, c'mon, he made it for £45, lower your standards a little.

Define "low budget." My pick would be Memento (Christopher Nolan's 2000 suspense film about a man with a memory problem trying to piece together his life with polaroids). It was produced for $5 million.
Next pick - Blair Witch Project. Nothing says low budget like Artisan's 1999 horror mocumentary, made for under $25,000. Worldwide box office gross for Blair Witch: nearly $250,000,000. That's what I call a profit.
