well?

"Those Germans are bothering me"

They probably should, but I prefer to rent independent films from independent video stores.

absolutely! But I thought Blockbuster was out of business????

They don't have a Blockbuster where I live, but I definantly wish one of my local movie rental places had an indie section.

The one place I usually rent movies from carries a couple Indie films, but its hard to find new ones I've never heard of since they organize them oddly.

And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb...what a stupid lamb

Haven't been there in a while,but mine does. Plus,the local movie stop does...

Blockbuster should have one and so should Hollywood video. Most of the time the stores carry what I am looking for but it is hard as hell to find.

They used to, it was like the sundance section or something. the person below me said something about an "indie video store".. they must live in Hollywood or NYC or something...

Thanks for calling me out francesca_designstyle! Looking back my post does sound a bit snobbish, sorry. I do live in a big city where I have the option to go to several independently owned video stores that carry all the DVDs that I could hope for. I forget that it's not as easy in some places. But I'd like to hope that lots of smaller cities have some options other than big conglomerate video stores that won't stock certain films or only after editing them. Growing up in a small town we didn't even have a Blockbuster, just one mom & pop convenience store with a small selection of videos. But this is still where I discovered Wim Wenders and other non-mainstream films. If people ask for their smaller local stores to stock more "indie" films you just might be in luck (and even able to request specific titles). Or else, you can subscribe to an online DVD club (zip.ca in Canada for instance).

Anyways, I'm sounding preachy again. Good luck to everyone who wants to find good movies. :)

Where I live,Blockbuster has an 'art cinema' section,it's great!

From what I have seen at the Blockbuster I work at most of the films there are independent films.
