Oh, boy. Most of my favorite movies are foreign (naturally, since America is just one country). Looking at my IMDB vote history, my top foreign movies apparently are:
Playtime
Stalker
Amarcord (I Remember)
Baisers volés (Stolen Kisses)
Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief)
Mon oncle (My Uncle)
Offret (The Sacrifice)
La Strada (The Road)
The highest movie in my list that comes even close to being independent is Adaptation, but even then, I think most people confuse independent movies with movies that just have downplayed marketing (Adaptation, for example, is not an independent movie). Most of the independent movies I've seen are complete shit, and don't deserve to rise out of their local movie circuits.
