Indianapolis movie theaters

Indianapolis has the absolutely most boring film scene in the midwest. Considering that anybody who ventures into the film industry usually goes to the east coast or west coast, Indianapolis and pretty much any midwest city is left filmless. This situation causes the movie theaters we have to play mainstream crap. Now I mean crap as in most of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood nowadays sucks but certainly not all of it. Plenty of films that come out in the theaters are damn good. Nevertheless all we get are the flicks that are coming out of Hollywood. Now we do have one exception and that is the Keystone Art Cinema. That is the best theater in town. They play the mainstream stuff that comes out in all the other theaters but they also play the independent and less known stuff that the other theaters don't play. Even though those films don't come around enough. They also serve alcohol which every theater in the world should do. That's it, that's all we have. One theater that plays a couple of lesser known films every now and then.

It all makes sense because this is Indianapolis and all we have is Broadripple and the Colts to entertain us. Maybe this is just me but I would love to have a movie theater that plays all the classics and the movies that you have never heard of or haven't seen since the 70's. If I had the money and the resources I wouldn't hesitate to open a theater. This will probably never happen unless myself or somebody with the money and the passion starts it up but hopefully one day the people of Indianapolis will know more than whats at their local theater.
