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).

Yup, the movies Blockbuster won't touch are even harder to find, but the hunt is half the fun...
You know it... did a huge article on Hong Kong cinema for SetGo
and I own Bad Taste on both video and dvd....and looking for the stronger cut of Brain Dead before I plunk down any money for the DVD...the first time I rented the movie, I made the biggest fuckup of all time, rented the r-rated version by mistake...I'm actively seeking "Forgotten Silver" a small film Peter Jackson did in his early years but it's very hard to find (almost as hard to find (in the US anyways) as "Meet The Feebles"....
Troma films? now, you've really found my softspot...while I can sit through artsy fartsy and acting clinic type films, I'm most at home with cheesy b movies, horror flicks and just plain fucked up movies..."Tromeo and Juliet" is my favorite of the Troma films (any films featuring incest, body piercing, lesbianism, mutations, the writings of William Shakespear and narration by Lemmy from Motorhead can't miss), but damn, lately they've been putting their name on everything and have been tarnished a bit, but I did notice they picked up the rights to "Combat Shock" one of the most fucked up "vietnam vet hallucinating and fucking people up" movies I've ever seen (and of course shot for only about $40K) Hmm, maybe I should do a write-up on that flick...
