Live Poll: Low Budget Movies That Paid Off Big
Low budgets films allow investors to reap potentially huge returns on
their investment. While budget caps vary throughout the world and time,
one authoritative definition sets the top end of the limit for movies
with a current budget under $2,500,000. On both sides of the camera,
many of today's biggest stars first honed their skills on low budget
films. These films launched or served as a breakthrough for many in many
of their careers.
Which one of these wildly successful low budget ($250,000 < $1,500,000) movies* is your favorite?
* Movies with a minimum 6.0 IMDb user rating, excludes micro-budget (<$250,000) films and uses just one type of movie income stream (box office) for comparison.

As a now retired episodic TV Assistant Director and a still-working location scout/location manager in Hollywood, I'm more than amazed at how good this movie is, despite my family connection! It's hard to make something remarkable in a movie. Princess Cyd is remarkable.

("STAN" :is slang for someone who is a very zealous fan, especially of a celebrity or music group. Stan can also be a verb for liking something a great deal.
Where does stan come from?
The origin of stan, now widely used in fandom culture, may be surprising. In 2000, rapper Eminem released the single titled “Stan.“ The song and video are about a young man, named Stan, who is dangerously obsessed with Eminem. Stan displays his obsession in various ways, including adopting the rapper’s look, confessing to self-harm, and recording his eventual death with the intention to send it to Eminem.
One early person to use stan for an obsessed fan was the rapper Nas in a 2001 track where he raps: “You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan.”
An Urban Dictionary entry describing stan for intense fandom was added in 2006, and one of the first tweets using stan as a verb for greatly liking someone came in 2008.
The slang spread online in the late 2000s and early 2010s, with stans of different fandoms arguing for the superiority of their interests. In 2010, the website Stan Wars launched because of these online arguments.
