I definitely cannot say that about mainstream films. They are not chick flicks either. I don't care what anyone says, I love that Amelie chick, also in Dirty Pretty Things.</p> Every independent film I’ve seen I’ve loved. I definitely cannot say that about mainstream films.

In terms of independents, I admit that I appreciate their existence but they aren't something that I see often. For some reason I categorize them as "chick flicks," which I know is totally wrong, but as I am not at all knowledgable about them, going to see one would be like russian roulette. If a person could recommend a few then I'd be willing to watch. Otherwise, I'm too afraid that I'm going to be watching Kevin Bacon naked for two hours, and we want that like we want another "Glitter." Do you have any you can recommend?</p> I was just commenting on the mainstream movies. In terms of independents, I admit that I appreciate their existence but they aren’t something that I see often.

However, do you believe that the latent outbreak of crap extends to ALL movies, or are you focusing on the mainstream stuff that Big Corporations in Movieland think us moviegoers want to see? Like, are independent films or independent, foreign films just as crappy? Just wondering what the boundaries are, if there are any. I just feel that independent films have picked up where the mainstream stuff stopped a long time ago, and now they've really made an impact on some of the choices people make when actually spending money on a box office ticket.</p> I totally agree that mainstream movies are basically crap.
