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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
