there are a ton of good movies out there, but you can't rely on your Roger Eberts and your Rex Reeds (god I hate that fucker)...they know dick about underground and independent movies...
good call on FilmThreat, but also check out the message board at www.joblo.com and the stuff reviewed over at www.b-independent.com seek out the dusty section of the video store...
remember, if Blockbuster Video has more than 1 copy of any movie, wait to check it out...I thrive on the treasure hunt that is going to a mainstream video store and finding movies that they only have one copy of...I would have avoided movies like "The Cube", "Gummo" and "Welcome To The Dollhouse" if they would have had more than a single copy and I probably would have missed out on these great flicks....thank goodness for the Blockbuster way of carrying 100 copies of "Pearl Harbor" and only one copy of "Killer Klowns From Outer Space".......
fuck it, when I retire from porn, I want to open an underground video store...stock the Guinnea Pig films, the dogma films, everything even remotely touched by Sam Raimi (except that fucking stupid baseball movie with Kevin Costner)...Italian Horror with have it's own section...and goddamnit, I will have TWO FUCKING COPIES OF "Ice From The Sun"...
rant over 
and oh yeah "fuck art"

What about all the movies that Blockbuster won't stock because they aren't family friendly? Fuck Blockbuster.
You seem to have a good knowledge of independent and foreign cinema. Your underground video store had better have Hong Kong action classics (Woo's earlier films etc etc), Troma films and early Peter Jackson (Bad Taste, Brain Dead).
BTW, I love art. I go to Europe every year and wander around art galleries stoned. Art is one of the few things that separates human beings from other animals. I can't get enough of it... fine art, sculpture, architecture, photography, whatever...
