What would be the best mike to get with a low price...the lower the better. i'm 13 (serious about my movies though) so i can't get a job and don't have an allowance...that's how broke...any suggestions of mikes?

The least expensive mic I could suggest is a Shure SM57 retailing new at around $90

They are very reliable and are commonly used in broadcast situations... ie it's the two mics on the US presidential podium.
I have three.

I own an Audio-Technica ATR-55 shotgun mic. I'm very happy with it. I picked it up open box from Best Buy for $25! It's generally $50ish.
I made my own furry blimp thing for it ( < $10 )with gutter screens, steel wire, costume fur, chopsticks and rubber bands. Works fabulously. I'm going to be fitting a properly threaded screw end onto the end of an extendable 12' painters extension ($14-home depot) as a boom. I'm currently using a mike stand I had laying around. It's quite heavy.
The blimp and boom work fabulously! We shot at a park on a windy day with 2 cameras. The onboard mic on one camera recorded nothing but wind...the other nothing but dialog!
