What happens when an inept duo hatch a plan to blackmail a perverted reverend in the hopes of making some petty cash? Answer: a surprise laden black comedy that’s sure to have you engaged, entertained, and elated, all in equal measure.

Director-writer Jean-Baptiste Andrea hasn’t had the most illustrious career so far, yet Big Nothing shines as a perfect example of what can be achieved with a relatively small budget and and a sharp witty script. Teetering on being a full-on farce, the dark twisting narrative solidifies this movie's rightful position on this list.

Simon Pegg and David Schwimmer are the perfect team to front this darkly comedic hidden gem, and fans of either should make sure to carve out some time to witness them in this crime-gone-wrong caper. Hell, even if you're not a fan, the movie is still worth every second of the 86 minutes it would take to watch. Promise.
