Wired has an awesome article (with pics and video) about three kids who remade Raiders of the Lost Ark. They did it over seven summer vacations, using rented video cameras, their friends as actors, and their allowance as the budget.
They almost burned down a house and suffocated one of the ‘actors’ but they finished the flick. I hope my kid does stuff like this … over his freind’s house, of course.
