If you look - and you should - there is certain to be a good foreign or indie film playing in a theater near you. Not only New York and Los Angeles, but in cities across the nation. Here's the best of what's playing.
New on DVD
Each week, a steady stream of new DVDs are released: mainstream films, restored classics, independents, and wonderful foreign films that might not have reached a theater near you. Our highly selective recommendations will steer you to the best out in DVD.
Online Films
How things have changed in the few years since we started collecting online movie sites... some of the old contenders (AtomFilms, IFilm) are still here, but many of the upstarts are gone, leaving the behemoths YouTube and Google Video in their wake. Still, there are more quality movies online than ever before, so grab some popcorn and hunker down in front of the monitor.
