No offense to the K-Smith fans in here but Clerks, in my opinion, does not amount to any of these films. I know some of these were bigger and what Kevin did with Clerks given his budget was great and all, but on their scale, it just doesn't fit in. Many people act like it was this amazing movie but I just don't get that. It had funny duologue, but most the credit given to 'Smith shouldn't be given for what his film was but for how he brought it about on such a small budget.And just a comment: don't mod comments down just because you disagree with them... I don't mod down your 'where's Clerks' comments, I actually mod them up because they are relevant to the topic. This is my opinion and I gave it with relevant points and all so if you want to disagree than state your rebuttal and I'll be happy to listen. Many people are too quick with their thumbs down.

no it doesn't since lucas funded it himself without a major studio hence the definition "independant"

Why Episode 3 is on there is beyond me. It was a decent film, but top 50?
