Inspired by Rian Johnson's debut movie "Brick" -- and the show's near-constant chatter about it -- each year Filmspotting champions their favorite overlooked/under-the-radar films with the Golden Brick awards.
Factors we consider but are not confined to:
- Uniqueness of directorial vision/artistic ambition
- How established the filmmakers are
- How much attention the film got (at the box office or critically)
