The Fanimatrix: Run Program (2003)
The best fan film I've ever seen...
This is probably the prodigy of all fan films. I've seen many, and the majority of them are awful. However, this was an exception. A beautifully done masterpiece.
I actually didn't hear about it until I was browsing IMDB. I came across the title, never heard of it before. Being a rabid Matrix fan, I immediately went in search of a download for it. I found it easily by just visiting their webpage.
The story is pretty brief. It's basically a side story of two side characters from the film moving on a side mission.
One great part about the film is that it's ran by experienced film makers (small or not). They got to do some work with the wires as well as a few special effects here and there. They obviously put loads of time working on this. They even filmed it in the same city of the first Matrix. Check out the site fanimatrix.net for more details on the making of. There's so much to it.
Don't watch it expecting a clone of The Matrix. Watch it expecting something new, but in the same style of the originals. Enjoy!

No. Just. No.
Alright, I realize the majority of people here thought this movie was a Masterpiece. I disagree. The directing style and film technique was interesting but that didn't make up for all the other dissapointment. I heard it was a great movie and I rented it. I have a great interest in Asian films, but this did not catch my attention. The overall feel for it just wasn't good. However, if you are one for a extremely boring plotline that will abruptly turn into complete nonsense, rent it. There are some who do. For me, when I heard the comment from my friend, "Who's the director of this movie, so I can avoid their other movies," I couldn't ask anything more from this movie.
