Ryan vs Dorkman (Google Video)

This video was originally pointed out to me by a fellow associate, when we got into a discussion of some of the Star Wars fan films. If you don't know what a fan film is, its generally a unauthorized, and very low budget recreation or parody of a movie created by fans.

One of the grand daddies of these films is the original Hardware Wars. IMHO after Hardware Wars, there have been a few great fan films, like:
The Ryan vs. Dorkman video started out as a friendly rivalry between two effects artists on the TheForce.net, for the lightsaber choreography competition. I would say its one of the best amateur lightsaber battles ever done in a fan film.
