IFC and Sundance used to be great. I could find movies from independent film makers, many of which were strange and interesting. I have no idea of the details, but both have become channels that show mostly crap I don't watch -stuff blowing up especially.

Everything is being tossed into a blender these days, mixed together, and put out as "generic entertainment product." I've been buying a lot of blu-rays and dvds recently.
