Artisan Entertainment (formerly known as U.S.A. Home Video, International Video Entertainment (IVE) and LIVE Entertainment) was an American film studio and home video company. It was considered one of the largest mini-major film studios until it was purchased by later mini-major film studio Lions Gate Entertainment in 2003. At the time of its acquisition, Artisan had a library of thousands of films developed through acquisition, original production, and production and distribution agreements. Its headquarters and private screening room were located in Santa Monica, California. It also had an office in Tribeca in Manhattan, New York.
The company owned the home video rights to the film libraries of Republic Pictures, ITC Entertainment, Gladden Entertainment, Miramax Films, Hemdale Film Corporation, The Shooting Gallery, and Carolco Pictures before it went defunct in 2004.
Artisan's releases included Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Killing Zoe, The Blair Witch Project, Grizzly Falls, Startup.com, Novocaine, and National Lampoon's Van Wilder.

> With high-profile Academy Award nominations and an increasing number of big-name actors eager to sign on to promising projects, independent films have been at the forefront in recent years like never before. But the roots of such critical and commercial successes as The Hurt Locker and Precious can be traced to the first boom of independent cinema in the 1960s, when a raft of talented filmmakers emerged to capture the attention of a rapidly growing audience of young viewers.
A thorough overview of a thriving sector of cultural production, the Directory of World Cinema: American Independent chronicles the rise of the independent sector as an outlet for directors who challenge the status quo, yet still produce accessible feature films that find wide audiences and enjoy considerable box office appeal, without sacrificing critical legitimacy. Key directors are interviewed and profiled, and a sizeable selection of films are referenced and reviewed. More than a dozen sub-genres - including African American cinema, queer cinema, documentary, familial dysfunction and exploitation - are individually considered, with an emphasis on their ability to exemplify and engage with tensions inherent in American society. Copious illustrations and a range of research resources round out the volume, making this a truly comprehensive guide.
At a time when independent films are enjoying considerable cultural cachet, this easy-to-use yet authoritative guide will find an eager audience in media historians, film studies scholars and movie buffs alike.
The list is based on the contents of the Book, sorted by chapters:
* Film of the Year: The Hurt Locker
* Scoring Cinema: Mulholland Drive
* African-American Cinema
* The American Nightmare
* Chemical World
* Crime
* Documentary
* Exploitation USA
* Familial Dysfunction
* Narrative Disorder
* On the Road
* Queer Cinema
* Rural Americana
* Slackers
* The Suburbs
* Underground USA

<p>My personal ranking of films for the most part taking place in NYC. I’m not ranking them in according to the showcase of New York but ranking it according to the overall quality of the film. Also even if the film is set in New York it needs to actually be shot in New York so no fake blue screen or Vancouver pretending to be NYC. So for instance Escape from New York was actually mostly shot in St. Louis so it doesn’t qualify here. Eyes Wide Shut takes place in NY but it was shot mostly on sets in England, doesn’t qualify either. A lot of movies from the 20’s-30’s-40’s-50’s might be set in NYC but likely shot on sets in Hollywood, those are disqualified unless they shot at least a few exterior scenes in actual NYC. Check out my ranking of films set in Los Angeles <a href="https://boxd.it/4P55a" rel="nofollow">boxd.it/4P55a</a></p>

<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But, what we found out is that each one of us is: a brain . . . <br />Andrew Clark: And an athlete . . . <br />Allison Reynolds: And a basket case . . . <br />Claire Standish: A princess . . . <br />John Bender: And a criminal. <br />Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? <br />Sincerely yours, <br />The Breakfast Club."</i> - <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/the-breakfast-club/" rel="nofollow">The Breakfast Club</a></p><p>There is something about a good coming-of-age story. I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>
