I agree with the merge. Independent film goes into more detail than [[Independents]] and all informatino in Independent film seems relevant. Kushboy 20:13, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

what about merging this page with Experimental film?

Independent film does not mean experimental film. There are lots of independent films which fall entirely within traditional classical narrative cinema. Merging these two pages would be shortsided and factually inaccurate.

I'm not sure about that list of significant films. Perhaps we ought to take something like the top 10 or 20 of some Greatest Independent Films list (like this one [1]) rather than just arbitrarily picking a bunch of indies. For example, I don't think I <3 Huckabees or Igby Goes Down are that notable while omitting Jim Jarmusch and Run Lola Run and Evil Dead and so on and so on. ...

I removed a number of the films from the list of 'significant films,' some of which were not even independent films but merely small-budget films released through major distributors.

Passion of the Christ?!

How can a film directed by mega-multi-millionaire, Mel Gibson, be an indie film?

Because he did it indepenently. Don't confuse independent with low budget. Don't worry, the passion is not the worse indie film.

That films is not indie and he did not do it independetly. low budget is one of the main parts of an indie movie.HighInBC 18:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The film, nevertheless, is still considered independent.
