i personally like independent films. they are usually low budgeted and the wise independent directors spend their money o good actors and use the rest on visuals or sound. they use good storylines and scripts and acting to make up for the lack in other stuff. mainstream films are full of cg and lame effects that stupify the movie. indep. is the real stuff :)

How you spend money has nothing to do with the quality of the film. There movies made with very little needs for effects and technology which are a fortune for talent.

I'd disagree to a certain extent. With more money you can afford to do more with a film, better props, better actors, etc. Money certainly doesn't equal quality, but I certainly wouldn't say that money has absolutely nothing to do with quality.

I don't have any particular preference, really. I've seen some awful independent films and I've seen some great independent films and vice versa. Depends on the film itself.
