Hit Movies With a Low Budget - Page 3

Man, this list was hard to make! I had to do so much research to see which movies were really low budget as well as box office successes. Not only this, but I feel the movies themselves had to have made a significant cultural impact. I also judged the budgets of each movie based on when they were first released, and the average movie budgets for each respective time period. Some of the budgets for these movies are not always dirt poor, so take this list with a grain of salt.
