Split it up however you want - "popular" and "art house", American and International, English language and foreign language. It doesn't matter. The key is to encourage debate on film without the personal attacks on matters of taste. The asylum does this for music and equipment. Why not for films? Imagine if "Digital" and "Vinyl" were combined. Every other post would be a personal attack directed toward someone on the "other side".There is a small clique here that hates "Hollywood" movies. They actively seek to embarrass and drive out anyone who tries to discuss or recommend these "kaka" films. So far, they've been very successful; this forum has become a backwater. The naive who wander in, fail to hear the ominous banjo music and post something "unworthy" are quickly made to squeal like pigs (if I may be allowed to briefly allude to a "kaka" Hollywood movie).
By isolating the pretentious and snobbish behavior of a few to a separate forum, free debate on popular cinema will be encouraged.
