Even when stores started handling a larger selection of DVDs I kept getting obscure titles from Netflix. Then one of independent stores wanted to know the obscure titles and they stocked them too so I didn't need Netflix. I pretty much watch independent and foreign and very little Hollywood stuff. I often leave the latter until it shows up on HD cable except that some of the studio dimwits have a new version of pan&scan which is taking a 2:35:1 aspect ratio (Scope) and cropping it to fit the 1:77:1 aspect ratio which doesn't look good and spoils the composition most of the time. In general HBO does this though ShowTime frequently leaves the films OAR.
