[@The420Earthling]

My favorite hipster movie is a movie that no one knows, that no one ever saw, it's very indie and underground and when people are going to start liking it, i will dislike it.

[@The420Earthling]

Le Gars Bizarre It's official, i don't like Koyaanisquatsi anymore.

[@The420Earthling]

Le Gars Bizarre Comming from the guy with the name ''the weird guy'' LOL P.S.: I get that a lot, i know i'm weird for some people. But it's all good. P.P.S: I gotta see that movie.

It's Star Wars, isn't it?

[@ryanstriffolino8653]

Hipster, independent, whatever label you want, I don't care, all these films are fantastic

[@KronixBeats]

+ryan striffolino YES! I was going to write a similar post. Labeling these 'Hipster' is madness, seeming as that term is usually used in a way to insult. I am definitely not a 'Hipster' (whatever that means anyway) but i love movies. Anyone who appreciates cinema and film making will know that pretty much all of these films are brilliant.

[@Maximusringrock]

+ryan striffolino spot on

[@стрелок-ч7р]

+ryan striffolino They're just good films. Nothing 'hipster' about it. watchmojo, this is cringey.

[@стрелок-ч7р]

***** her and all wes anderson films are fun as fuck. you dont have to be a 'hipster' to like them.

[@keithk2879]

ETERNAL SUNSHINE is one of the greatest films ever written.

[@andrewsmith74]

It's one of the most boring & confusing.

[@ruthgrey6098]

Absolutely beautiful. Eternal sunshine is art.

[@daniablessed]

Jim Carrey deserved an Oscar for that movie, his actuation was incredibly beautiful and neat.

Submarine is sooooo good and the soundtrack by Alex Turner it's perfect❤.

[@kel9091]

YASSSSSS

[@321michywishy]

honestly one of my favourite soundtracks, suits the movie's mood so well

[@OlufemiFilms]

I love "hiding tonight" i listen to it all the time

[@summerfinn2300]

the soundtrack is even better than the film.

[@amiersyazwan6906]

stuck on the puzzle for me

[@nunitoism]

So "hipster" = melancholic contemplation of life?

[@atheistbale6138]

"hipster" = everything strange, symbolic, vintage, unknown, indie, melancholic, alternative, somewhat depressing, non-blockbuster, dark but not too dark, music-related, sub-cultural, European and basically anything that shows human struggle.

[@TheGoofyGooberEffect]

no hipster= pretentious douchebags who only like things that aren't part of the mainstream not because they actually have an acquired taste for them and they are sheep

[@atheistbale6138]

goofygroova16​ Yeah, that's what people think it means, but anything can be called "hipster" these days.

[@puertoriconnect4611]

@@atheistbale6138 Agreed. And it's WAY more common for people who hate hipsters to be pretentious douchebags. They're obsessed with hating hipsters and labeling anything that a hipster may like as uncool. So there's all this cool shit you're not supposed to like unless you wanna be labeled a hipster. For example. I'm a fan of the band Weezer. I got my first pair of prescription glasses in highschool. My parents could only afford the cheapest frames but I was perfectly happy with them since they looked like the ones Rivers Cuomo had. Then those glasses became a hipster thing and fucking assholes would judge me as a pretentious douchebag JUST because my glasses. I remember one kid laughing in my face and telling me I was a joke cause my glasses. Yet I"M the pretentious one. Then everyone started wearing thick rimmed glasses and now it's normal and no one says shit.

[@CalifornicationTM6]

I don't think WatchMojo's editor quite know what a hipster is....

[@terravanante83]

would you kind enough to explain? I always wanna now what the precise things that define a hipster :)

[@dockerdave]

I'm afraid not. Hipsters tend to be complete sheep when it comes to fashion

[@goblinb]

Hipster is one of those words that means many different things to many different people. I've tried and tried over the years to figure out just what a 'hipster' is and I'm still stumped.

[@oneopinion6806]

It's an obscure reference. You wouldn't understand.

[@vaithiareespinoza4612]

This ranking is most likely dedicated to tumblr's hipster, meaning, no hipster at all.

[@zimzimzalabim]

I have seen 7 out of the 10 movies mentioned here, what does that say about me? Where's The Perks of Being a Wallflower? Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist? Once? Little Miss Sunshine? Being John Malkovich?

[@steviegbcool]

theres a lot ...

[@davm97]

Nick and Norahs is kinda weak

[@fotoautomatmusic]

Ghostworld, reality bites, before sunrise. Too many to mention.

[@charliecharmander3213]

no

[@juanvaldivia7485]

Yeah, It's fucking wrong to say "hipster films" just because they were made by independent studios...

Juan Valdivia Except they aren't on the list just because they are made by independent studios.

[@juanvaldivia7485]

Wulbulbul Lubbubwublub Well, that's right. They were made with a low budget and a nice intellectual or warm hearted script.

[@nerosine9]

plus you don't like to be called a hipster

[@hurdurr7466]

TIL "Hipster Movies" just means "good movies".

[@haymaker710]

I thought these were just indie movies.

[@Norsztec]

you can thank hipsters for all the good movies in your life

[@ellbob1]

Yeah, I agree. I don't necessarily like all of these, but they pretty much sat down and said "Hmmm...quirky=hipster?"

[@cardenasr.2898]

Hey, that's not fair, I liked Lost in Translation before it was popular among hipsters... Oh, shit, I'm becoming one of them now. Shoot me please.

Meh they're all good movies so I mean hey you're you ya kno

[@anka042]

All these movies are for everyone. Because they are all great. Why does things have to be clickbait and negative these days?

[@Norsztec]

i don't think saying it's a hipster movie is negative or implying it's only for one group of people.

[@InsertCleverNameHere0]

eh, I do think the label does tend to imply it's for specific groups of people (namely hipsters)

[@InsertCleverNameHere0]

trvns humvn Actually, I'd think that it's more like saying Friday Night Lights is a jock or meathead show, but fair enough. And the implication IS that it MAINLY is SUPPOSED to appeal to specific demographics. Those capitalized words are key, because just cuz something is aimed at a demographic doesn't mean that only those people will like it.

[@Norsztec]

InsertCleverNameHere i am totally lost on what you're trying to say. i do not think the creators of the show ever intended for it to appeal to a specific demo, neither do i think the creator of this video intended to say these movies appeal to a specific demo, either mainly or slightly or however else you want to put it.

[@InsertCleverNameHere0]

trvns humvn sorry, long day, I think I lost the plot of what I was trying to say

[@denisherlock3023]

[@gabbychuela1982]

Lmao i have never considered myself a hipster but this list had a lot of movies i love

[@CaioAraujoRibeiro]

That just means you have a good taste for movies. Being hipster is liking underground shit just because it isn't mainstream

[@gabbychuela1982]

A Gentleman oh thanks haha

[@elm1230]

Still really doesn't define what makes a hipster. Someone who has a taste for something obscure or alternative is just that. This video along with people commenting still can't define what a hipster is. Very convoluted and unclear. Everyone must be a hipster by these wide and vague categorization.

[@CaioAraujoRibeiro]

elm1230 Yeah, but man, at the end of the day, who fucking cares? We should enjoy what we enjoy, fuck labels

[@gabbychuela1982]

A Gentleman yes you are kinda right but like if people admited they are hipsters a lot of movie would die let's be honest so i preffer to have my mouth shout

[@LoveliestSunflower95]

Which Wes Anderson film in particular?

Why don't you just named the title 'Indie' instead of 'Hipster' ...

[@jameswitherspoon837]

1) Hipsters don't necessarily need to be feminist. 2) Feminists can be pedophiles. 3) Both of these things are irrelevant to the feel of a film. I don't understand why you would judge a movie based on its creator. Of course, there's also the adage of 'innocent until proven guilty' - and you have just point blank assumed the man is a criminal when he has no convictions and a trial has not been conducted.

[@jameswitherspoon837]

Has nothing to do with it.

I figured Little Miss Sunshine would be on this list for sure!

[@LovesTheWarriors]

+JordanMGR Cuz it's really weird and 'quirky' and one of those really stupid movies that a lot of Generation Y were just head over heels for.

[@spprw]

+MCRmyGeneral you forgot to answer his question. here: +JordanMGR How is Little Miss Sunshine hipster???

[@LovesTheWarriors]

+spprw How is it not? It was a weird, eccentric indie movie with a muted color scheme and a lame 'eccentric' ending and a child stripping.

[@spprw]

+MCRmyGeneral again, what does that have to do with a "movement" (movement?! whaaat??) obviously not even vaguely understood by the lames who made this video , as evidenced by describing "hipsters" as people who wear "scarves" and for some craaaazy reason decide for themselves how they dress, and find music they actually like; not to make a "statement", but because theyre not going to listen to programmed, corporate Vevo/TV/radio payola bullshit. thst that's seen as a bad thing is sad. are you sure you dont mean "indie"? (because also nooo) there's nothing "hipster" about any of this: someone writes a script, roomfuls of people pick it apart, decide what stays, what goes, what needs to be changed, all so that it can reach the BROADEST audience possoble. months later, a director hires a DP to get the look he wants for his film, and then once the final edit is APPROVED, this not even independent so-called "hipster" film, which exists thanks to 4 different production companies, is distributed by FOX!!! ..also, greg kinnear is in it, for fuck's sake.

[@LovesTheWarriors]

+spprw i just mean that the movie tries WAY too hard to be unique and weird, just like hipsters go completely out of thie way to prove how unique and quirky and how so not mainstream they are.

I always thought The Big Lebowski was a hipster flick. But hands down...The Lobster should be on this year's list

The Big Lebowski is a stoner movie. Very different thing. I am as clueless as the the next man as to what a 'hipster movie' actually is, but The Big Lewbowski is not one.

As The Stranger would say "Far from it"

I heart Huckabee?

[@RiddLs]

+E - Paige Perks and Fault definitely don't. Little Miss Sunshine is borderline, I don't think Silver Linings does but I heart Huckabees probably would.

[@ePai9e]

+John King I figured, by their definitions of 'hipster' flicks, though.

[@LockeWick]

+E - Paige By their terms, I believe those would be considered hipster movies since they are more artsy then blockbuster material.

[@snow_blind_08]

+E - Paige The first two more than the rest but yeah.

[@milesedwards3287]

I love Her, (500) Days of Summer, Submarine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Royal Tenenbaums and Juno but I wouldn't consider these as hipster movies. Yeah, they follow the checklist but they've became so famous and universally loved that they don't qualify any more.

'Her' is like a piece of athstetic art and plus I got wayyy too involved in the story line because it feels so real! The actors were absolutely amazing at creating their characters

[@ryebrymusic632]

Hipster (noun): A individual who thinks and acts independently from the system. A person who is always himself and doesn't attempt to fit in society. The person doesn't care the opinion of others towards him. His likes and dislikes are totally independent from anyone else. If he likes something it's because he personally like it and is not influenced by anyone or anything to do so including Music, Movies, Hobbies, Sports, Art, Fashion, Culture, etc. A real Hipster doesn't necessarily dress with skinny jeans, plaid shirts, sweaters, scarfs, Black Mold Glasses or suspenders, or wears a beard or a mustache. That is just a misconception of the mainstream toward Hipsters. A real Hipster can dress however he wants to, not like the misunderstood and supposedly legit "Hipster Fashion". That is just fake. One thing is true of this video. A real Hipster doesn't admit being one. Obviously because they don't want to be confused with this false movement that promotes a trend that has been manipulated to the consumer's eyes. And of course that if someone admitted of being a hipster it would only prove the fact of that the person is only wanting to follow the trend. Hipsters aren't followers. Hipsters create their own path. They don't follow others. And to be more clear of the subject, you DON'T have to hate mainstream to automatically be a Hipster. You can be a Hipster and also like the mainstream at the same time. The world has really misunderstood the true meaning of what defines a Hipster.

[@ShayTsfoni]

Bryan Garban Bryan Garban. I think I agree with you for the most part, but you're exaggerating a bit. there's not really such a thing as not being influenced by anything or anyone (as long as you're experiencing anything at all...). And there's no shame in being influenced. listening and learning from other people and other things is great and can help you build you're own intrests and you're own path. I also believe that sharing that path with other people and introducing them to you're world of intrests and passion doesn't make it less special or meaningful. Having you're on "totally independent" and "uninfluenced" thing is mostly an ego boost to yourself. I think that the strangest thing about this definition is that you could switch the word "hipster" with the word "lonely" and it would become a lot more accurate. Be influenced, care about other people and what they think, and just care about other people and be with them in general. It won't lower you're value, it's bound to increase it and make you a better and more special person.

[@ryebrymusic632]

Shay Tsfoni You know, now that I read carefully what I wrote, you're not wrong. But I'm not meaning that you can't be influenced by anything or anyone to be yourself, I just meant that you don't have to like, do or be something just because someone else tells you to. We all make our own choices in life. The tricky part is choosing correctly. But if you're aware that you want to do something or be something because you feel that that's what you want, then you are already being yourself. And if that also means that you want to follow some trends because you like them and not because you want others to like you for doing it, then it is totally understandable and respectable. What I originally wanted to state is that the "so called Hipster" does not exist as the comercial world portrays it. I mean that basically you are already a Hipster by just being yourself. Being yourself is what makes you original, creative and particular, and many don't choose that path. (Note: I am not stating in a literal form that just being yourself automatically makes you a Hipster.) I didn't mean to sound like a Anti-hipsternazi and if I did, than excuse me. (P.S: Woah, switching the word for the definition does make it fit too well haha.)

[@thestoicchimp6342]

So a hipster is just a young intellectual?

[@jameswayton2340]

No, a hipster is a other word for: Douchebag.

[@MayorRoRacer]

Ah, c'mon man! Play along, don't get offended.

[@jameswayton2340]

***** Thanks for that the dickehad song is perfect dude hahaha. Laughed hard at the: (JUST ONE GEAR) on my fixie bike part. Its really insane when i see people ride on those bike and they think they are on a good fast bike. I used to ride real cycling competitions a few years ago and they really do everything wrong on those bikes. The twig handlebar in the front is stupid and to short. They don't have brakes PLUS have one gear so again NO brakes and they are riding in the city with those bikes so that's about the dumbest thing you can do. Not to mention the height of the bik is way to low. If you have a bike that is low in weight but the sadle is to low then your not really going faster you just look like a stupid hipster on a fake fancy race bike.

[@Norsztec]

my problem is that you can never tell the difference between a person such as you and a person who likes things superficially until you actually get to know them. i hate when people look at the way someone dresses and presents themselves then automatically deduce conclusions about that person. to me that's worse than fake liking things.

[@jameswayton2340]

trvns humvn That's totaly true. I think the problem is also that some people do those superficially things while not knowing that to get attention. Maby they actually DO know that but don't want to tell. I think its normal to not like mainstream things cause to a certain group of people its everything but inspiring. Or maby they just feel a little different. I think its the effort that is the dilemma here maby. If the effort you put in being YOU honest or not, is the question maby? I don't understand why i have trouble understanding this hipster shit but i do know its pissing me off when i see certain things xD.

[@peteradaniel]

It's not hipster. That's coming of age. If Perks were included then Breakfast Club would need to be there as well. Non of the above films are coming of age films, really. They involve themes which go beyond the school prom.

[@halifaxverbeck7098]

that's like wanna be basic bitch hipster. like cool people read the book then watched the movie because the book was good but then the basic's ran in and just watched the movie then learned the living room routine and made the big quotes their facebook statuses.

[@charliewithaq9802]

[@nomaddd123]

quirky humor (real humor) + indie music (real music) + higher intellectual themes = art

[@soulscanner66]

I always thought of watchmojo as more of a hipster vehicle than these movies. The evidence? _ superficial obsession with popular culture and top 10 lists; - glib, pseudo-intellectual analysis of same; - excessive use of verbal air quotes to convey ever-present irony; - short format to cater to millennial attention spans; - and most importantly, complete denial of being hipsters themselves

[@TadRaunch]

[@tamihodges1926]

So many of these are some of my favorites. Juno, Eternal Sunshine, Royal Tenenbaums, Her. Here are a few that should have been on here. Birdman, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Song of the Sea, Synecdoche New York, Anomalisa, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

[@JGArtemis]

Dudes don't take me so seriously. I don't care what they do, I'm just joking about how obviously stupid their content is. They make a fucking video about anything in existence. "Top ten anime perverts" "top ten ben stiller moments" It doesn't end.

[@TrashHeapHedonist]

Jenny Keating I'm fairly certain their content is designed to be mindless entertainment.

[@sohamsdays]

what about "Into the wild" ? I thought it would be the number one.

[@nicoblaytherealflamingo445]

The Evil Tyrant that is the ultimate one!

[@benharrison1883]

How is into the wild hipster?

[@nicoblaytherealflamingo445]

Ben Harrison the person in the movie is very intellectual. (Besides eating the berries) so it's not so much him, more the people watching and becoming a follower.

[@plottwist3364]

So intelligent movies without shit exploding every five minutes = hipster?

that's pretty much what they are saying

[@00lifeisforliving00]

+Bender B. Rodriguez Yeah, kinda

[@din6040]

I don't think it was written for a wider audience, I think it was actually written for a more niche audience; ie people directly involved in the film industry. That was my take on it, anyway.

[@larimaus]
