I think the best indie films are the ones when the producers/directors, don't treat it as a indie film and just try and make the best film they can. Some indie films are so intent on being seen as a indie film that it loses it self. Same as a lot of big budget hollywood films. They are so interested in the big whiz bang special effects etc. That they forget the plot line.
I think both genres would be a great deal better off, if they took a leaf out of each other books.
Maybe "content" was the wrong word to use; maybe "resigned', "indifferent', or "apathetic" would be better.

When I see films like 'Grown Ups' and 'Knight And Day' in the top box office positions, that gives me very little faith that people are rejecting the offal and going for the gold.
