So, I've been wandering around my place and from time to time a movie will pop into my head lately and more often than not what sticks there for me to think and ponder about is a foreign or independent film. I looked up each in the threads to get a sense of whether these are discussed much, and it doesn't seem so, hence the new thread.

Do you totally pass over selections in the video store or with online rentals? Whether yes/no, Why?

Have you noticed your local video store carrying a lot more of these films than they used to?

Do you watch these movies as often as you watch films from your own country (ie, if you live in Australia, are you usually watching/renting Aussie and UK films and you rarely watch US films, or you watch US films as often as anything else)?

Do you feel particularly into foreign or independent films, and if so, what are you looking for in/from them? Do you prefer a particular director, country, actor, style, or subject matter?


Starting off with those ... add your own!
