Some of the best and most successful films created are independent ones. These films don't get the same amount of hype or publicity because they aren't blockbusters or produced by major production companies. As I've gotten older I've found that a majority of my favorite films that are new releases are indie flicks. There is just something about them that makes them so different. Everything about them, the way they're filmed, the music, the boundary-breaking plots, the actors, and so much more, makes these films special. Here are 15 independent flicks you should check out!

1. The Grand Budapest Hotel

This is hands down one of my favorite movies ever! Wes Anderson makes movies with such detail that it's impossible not to love them!

2. To the Bone

I wasn't sure about this movie at first but decided to give it a shot and have found it to be a really great one. Lily Collins does a fantastic job displaying someone with an eating disorder and her journey working through it.

3. The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Another great Wes Anderson film, "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" is a fun one for all ages and will keep you entertained the whole way through.

4. Mr. Roosevelt

This is one of those oddball films that turned out to be pretty funny and entertaining! "Mr. Roosevelt" is a film that those who have had awkward encounters with their exes will definitely understand.

5. Other People

"Other People" will make you cry out of sadness but you'll laugh at the awkward parts as well. The cast is great though!

6. Moonrise Kingdom

Wes Anderson at it again with this film about two kids! It's odd but his attention to detail wins you over in this fantastic film.

7. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

"Three Billboards" is a new movie that you'll love! Frances McDormand will amaze you and make you feel the pain she feels.

8. Call Me By Your Name

I can't say enough about "Call Me By Your Name." It's a heartbreaking and beautiful story of coming of age and love.

9. I, Tonya

The story of Tonya Harding is complicated and confusing but Margot Robbie does a fabulous job of portraying her and her story of skating.

10. Lady Bird

"Lady Bird" is a film that tells the story of the odd girl who is misunderstood by everyone around her. Director and writer Greta Gerwig has created a great movie that will captivate many!

11. The Royal Tenenbaums

Wes Anderson created this odd movie with his calling card of details. "The Royal Tenenbaums" portrays a family of wonder kids all with incredible talents with an all-star cast!

12. Captain Fantastic

"Captian Fantastic" is a sad but very entertaining film of an extremely different family. This family and their uniqueness will capture any viewer!

13. The Meyerowitz Stories

"The Meyerowitz Stories" will show you the dysfunction of a very distinguished, talented, and odd family!

14. Little Sister

"Little Sister" took me a while to get into but it turned out to be pretty good! A goth kid turned nun tries to reconnect with her family she hasn't seen in quite some time.

15. The Big Sick

Kumail Nanjiani's true story of he and his wife will have you laughing! It's the perfect rom-com for a night in!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
