Yeah, I suppose low budget was not the best choice of words. Low quality? I dont know if I agree with that either beause all three movies are very cool. Anyway, you got the gist though.

Any suggested changes to the list?

A few minor points regarding the intro

The Fifth Element was a $90 Million movie, very much not low budget (in fact it was about double the average at the time)

Wing Commander had a budget of $30 Million and Gattaca was $36 Million. Both of which were a bit below the average at the time (Average in 1997 was $40-50 Million).

I also like Duress over Sin collector in the sideboard. When you want the discard effect post side, I feel like you may want to hit other troublesome cards like Assemble the Legion, Deadbridge Chant and Planeswalkers. Whereas if you were putting the discard effect in the main, the body would be relevant in matchups where the discard effect might not be as strong, and worth the inability to hit everything.
