To Rent or Not To Rent

It seems like every time I want to rent a movie the selection of what interests me becomes smaller and smaller, especially since I don't like being scared or want to cry, happy or sad tears.   Very little is left once I eliminate anything that has to do with possible end of the world scenarios, the underworld and it's inhabitants and children's movies.  Usually I end up renting independent films but it is hard to know if they are worthwhile since most people where I live don't have the same viewing habits.

The Reelz Channel has a show called "Leonard Maltin's Secret's Out", the purpose of the show is to review films that aren't well known because blockbusters and all their surrounding publicity overshadows what little murmurings the indies are able to afford.  As an added bonus, he also recommends movies that are older, lesser known or forgotten about.  Most helpful.
