Sometimes you just can't trust Hollywood to do the job right. That's why fan films exist. The eleven movies on this list were made by dedicated amaterus for one reason only: total love of the characters involved. No, they don't have the high production values of the big-screen movies, but what they do have is dedication and integrity. In many cases, fan films are actually better than the official ones. So here's a quick guide of the best fan films, complete with video, of fan-made movies that knocked our socks off.

Let's close this article with this awesome 30-minute fan film directed by Polaris Banks that features the hockey mask-wearing vigilante from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Jones kicks ass with the requisite sports equipment, there's cameos from Michaelangelo and April O'Neil, and even a Casey Jones rap song. This film, made on virtually zero budget, perfectly captures the 80s aesthetic that the Turtles were born from. Hopefully Banks will do more awesome flicks in the future.
