Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })American Movie is a 1999 documentary directed by Chris Smith about independent filmmaker Mark Borchardt and the struggles he went through to create an independent film.Part-time paperboy, army veteran, amateur filmmaker, slacker, and radio show scriptwriter Mark Borchardt has an idea for a Great American Movie: a potboiler drama about a misfit teen growing up in the suburbs of northwestern Milwaukee, titled simply Northwestern. Unfortunately, his own lack of directing experience stymies the project, and he falls back on completing his half-finished black-and-white horror short "Coven" to gain experience and, more importantly, capital. With the help of his friends and family, including his rich, decrepit Uncle Bill, to provide most of the funding, his brain-fried ex-stoner-turned-scratchoff-lottery-ticket-addict best friend Mike to provide the music, and his own mother to play an evil minion, Mark sets out to finish "Coven" at any cost, man.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with any movie with an American Title, of which it is but one example. | |

Cool Old Guy: Bill is an amicable old relative of Mark's who's always willing to help him with his movie projects, although he's not in the best health and he's slightly senile. | |

Catchphrase | |
| American Movie / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Mark ends virtually every sentence out of his mouth with the word "man." Watch the film once or twice, and you'll find yourself doing it. | |

Addiction Displacement: Mike substitutes lottery cards for drugs and alcohol, because with drugs and alcohol - especially drugs - you always lose, but with the lottery you sometimes win. | |
