As u know, independent art films are usually of great quality & have a wide a variety of thought-provoking topics in serious depth, and often are winners in Sundance film festivals along with high ratings at Rottentomatoes.com, unlike conventional & predictable action movies in the normal theaters. Too bad they are not shown on a wide-spread basis when they are such memorable movies.
I recently saw Capote, it was such a long movie, slow start; it's about a gay-looking novelist who befriends a death-sentenced prisoner to get his story. The gay guy is so annoying and I'm sure you'll grow to hate him with a passion, but then the ending is superb,the whole theater was quietly in shock for 30 secs! I still remember that scene after 3 weeks! Highly recommend you to go watch this movie!

So what are your favorite indie films? Mine are Winged Migration, Whale Rider, Shaolin Soccer & Kungfu Hustle, Crash, Control Room, Farenheit 911, Supersize me, March of the Penguins, etc...

Why is indie movies called indie... Although it is suppose to represent independent, it really sounds like Indian. I almost replied to this thread with this in mind...

Nonetheless, some movies from Bollywood are really good, one that comes to mind has to do with a gropu of farmers playing cricket with the then colonial British in India... Can't remember the name and it was almost 4 hours long, but you know what, it was DAMN good!
