fantastic list with more i need to check out. cant believe i forgot to include la jetee! i feel like that's the ultimate example of tiniest budget + highest concept

fair, i might be stretching the sci-fi definition a bit for it's such a beautiful day, but i feel like it has a very sci-fi vibe and then the final montage puts it in sci-fi territory for me (also love world of tomorrow!)

great movie but surprisingly high budget!

love monsters!

oh these look awesome - will check em out

loved prospect!

it's always a good sign when a movie has infinity in the title - will check it out!

oh i totally forgot the man from earth! great movie (and also part of a great sub-genre where people just sit around debating sci-fi stuff)

any good ones i missed? i'm always on the lookout for more HCLBSF

9. beyond the infinite two minutes
10. cube
11. pi
12. the endless
13. upstream color
14. the history of future folk

and if we expand the budget up a couple million, here's a few more great ones

1. moon
2. take shelter
3. timecrimes
4. enemy

my favorite movies are HCLBSF: high concept low budget (<$1 mil) sci-fi. i send this list out to friends all the time, so i figured i'd drop it here

1. another earth
2. it’s such a beautiful day
3. coherence
4. it’s a disaster
5. the infinite man
6. primer
7. sound of my voice
8. the one i love
