How about a specialty forum for American or English language films?

Apparently, I'm not the only one to have noticed that a certain clique (of about 3 people) has developed here that is actively anti-American (or more acurately, anti-Hollywood) when it comes to taste in films. That's fine. But, this attitude is stifling discussion of worthy modern films that suffer from such unfortunate characteristics as: being filmed in color, employing sound, lacking subtitles, reliance on special effects, having an actual plot, etc. that make them too accessible to common tastes and, therefore, not worthy of "serious" discussion. Woe to anyone who blunders in here and naively expresses an opinion that fails to impress this small clique. He or she won't last long, which is why there is only a handful of regular posters in this forum.

The Hi-rez forum split into SACD and DVD-A camps. The Music forum is split into classical/jazz and pop/rock groups. How about a separate film forum where elitist "cineaste" posturing takes a back seat to enjoyment of "popular" fare?
