Google Sucks about indie movie results

Why are you confused?
You want specific information. To get that specific information
you need to be very clear what you are looking for.
If I understand correctly you are looking for the best indie
flicks of 2007 and other years. And you only want movies made for
less than $20,000. And by “best” you mean movies that generated
the highest revenue. Is that right?
So you are looking for a list which tells you the money earned on movies
made for under $20,000.

Just to add to the confusion...
There is a real problem with terms like "low budget" because it's used by different groups to mean different things.
In the industry low budget means $2Million to about $8Million...
In the industry micro-budget means $500,000 to $2M
anything below $500,000 is NO BUDGET
Now, indies (by this I mean digital writer/director/producers ... rather than someone like Bob Yaris! Who is also an indie) tend to use the terminology differently... for an "indie"
No budget means absolutely no money...
Micro-budget means $1,000 to $7,000
Low budget means you've got $10,000 to $50,000
Anything above that is considered big budget...
Now, google can't tell who is typing the request... so, it can't filter between these two different uses of terminology.
You find this a lot in on the forums... we use the same terminology as the industry, but we use it to mean different things. Makes google searches tricky.

]How about checking out some film festivals? I'm sure that there are film festivals out there that deal with filmmakers who haven't quite hit the big time yet (especially student film festivals). What's cool about scouting film festivals is if the particular festival has a bside listing, there is a star rating system along side whatever film you seem interested in (think IMDb).
