Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Submarine – $1.5 million budget

Submarine is an impressive freshman film from British comedian Richard Ayoade. Based on a novel by Joe Dunthorn, it tells the story of a 15-year-old Oliver Tate as he goes through everyday problems of young children.

Among the problems, he has to get good grades, save his parents’ marriage, and look after his pyromaniac girlfriend. We don’t need to remember our own terrible time as a teenager – we can watch this masterpiece instead.
