Last night, i saw this movie. IF you haven't heard of it. It was made by a bunch of 12 year olds in Mississippi. In 1981, they decided to make a shot for shot remake of their favorite movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. It took them almost 7 years to complete it.
It is pretty cool. they shot it all on betamax in their backyards and garages. they even did a lot of the special effects. IT took them so long to film that the characters go through puberty throughout the course of the movie.
It's quite impressive.
It's now touring around little art house theatres. i think seattle was the premier. if it comes to your town you should try and see it. it is mad funny and even um... heartwarming??!!

I remember hearing about this a while back.
even Spielberg was impressed, if I remember correctly.
