Indie films are ruining my marriage! ;-)

199.228.142.2

In the last year that I've had the Independant Film Channel, I find myself pulled more and more toward the substance of indie films over Hollywood fluff.

My wife, however, is not so eager to follow. For every ten movies I watch, she maybe watches....one. When I convinced her to sit down and watch the first one with me, it was Cronenberg's "Crash". I had not seen it, yet, nor was I aware of how shocking it would be to my wife. She left the room half way through the movie mumbling something about me being a sicko for watching it. I falsely believed the movie would prove to her the originality and intellect behind good indie films.

So I thought I'd lighten things up a bit and have her watch "Spanking the Monkey". Hey, with a title like that, I couldn't go wrong, right?

I was wrong.

Everything was fine until the scene where he sleeps with his mother. Again, I was depraved and a sicko. Sheesh!

Finally, I scored with a wonderful movie featuring one of my wife's favorite actors, Edward Furlong, and one of mine, Tim Roth. The movie was Little Odessa, which now ranks up there with some of the best I've seen, including mainstream. The movie really moved my wife my wife.

She's a little more open to watching more indie films now, but she still thinks I'm depraved. ;-)

So, before I go and drive the stake through the heart that is my marriage ;-) I come to you for help on more indie movie titles that we might rent or catch that will convince my wife that the indie scene is not as bad as it seems. I'm looking for movies along the quality of Little Odessa.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
