VOTE! Independent Cinema Forum?

I would have gave it the same rating (weird, I watched Green Butchers and came back and noticed the CA did too, and now I watched On the Waterfront yesterday and CA watched it recently as well).

Im agree, the independent cinema is very interesting. Nowaydays, 80% of the best movies are independient, only see movies like lost in traslation, 21 grams or sideways. Good idea, cinemaadiccition. You can count with my vote.

But by the way, how on hell coul you point " on the waterfront" only with a 7.5??? That is one of the best movies ever.

I gave it a 7 until the 3rd act came along and Brando took on Johnny Friendly, then tacked on another point 5. Marlon Brando carried the movie, and the "Contender" scene stood out obviously, but the supporting actors were stiff, the plot was jumpy, and it was Brando's improv that made the difference, which means what was scripted apparently didn't work for him. The James Lipton interview on the DVD really made him come off as kissing Elia Kazan's ass big time. Kazan's a great director, but I think "East of Eden" was a lot more convincing.

I'm new here, but thought I could pipe in too.

I vote yes for an indie forum. Not only would it help us discuss them, it will also help us find ones we might be interested in! Every time I see an indie film I pretty much like it, but it was never advertised and so I'd never knew to pick it up unless somebody else recommended it to me!

Well, im agree in part with you, brando carried the movie and carries with some script faults in the movie but the supporting cast was great. L j cobb was great, as karl malden, rod steiger or eva marie saint were. I loved east of eden too, but i think that this movie is little better.

Good thing that you liked a streetcar named desiree, it was another masterpiece.
