But really. I mean all 5 of the Academy Award nominees for best picture were adapted from something (even Sideways).

Christ.
Alot of people give "indie" movies alot more credit than they deserve. The fact of the matter is that for every good one you've seen there has been a plethora of others which were too shit to get any distribution. That said, 2 of my top 3 movies this year were "indie" films, being Mysterious Skin, the Life Aquatic, and Sin City (a landmark of a film which you're shitting on you cunt). Go look at your DVD collection, I bet you that there are more mainstream than "indie" films.
