Jump to: Make Your Home Feel Like a 300-Seat Movie Theater
While it seems absurd to compete with intellectually stimulating YouTube masterpieces, one community of independent film lovers dares to try. Catch some online videos worth seeing with today's deal: for $25, you get six months of access to more than 1,500 streaming independent movies on IndieFlix.com. Once you get your Groupon, enter your unique code here to start your half-year foray into a world of edgy, thought-provoking motion pictures. Get a subscription for yourself or give a film student, movie lover, or cable-less college student the gift of moving pictures.
IndieFlix's voluminous collection spans all genres and motifs from action and adventure to foreign and special interest. It has features, shorts, and documentaries that trade flashy effects and big-budget productions for heartfelt filmmaking and stories. Look for April Showers and The Trident among the multiple highlights and hidden gems scattered across the site. April Showers was written and directed by a Columbine survivor and tells the story of picking up the pieces after the tragedy; The Trident is a short featuring one of David Carradine's final performances.
The site also acts as a content distributor for indie directors. A true supporter of the community, IndieFlix gives independent filmmakers a chance to be seen. It's a central location to find films that can't be found anywhere else—similar to the mysterious dimension where all your lost socks end up. And, with your unlimited access pass, you'll have the power to stream flicks around the clock. So barring the dramatic explosion of the Internet that the Y2010K bug may cause, you'll always have something to watch.

Make Your Home Feel Like a 300-Seat Movie Theater
Some film purists claim that online viewing pales in comparison to the true in-theater, move-watching experience. To regain that movie-theater feel, try these at-home remedies to turn your streaming video screenings into epic viewing parties:
- Sound: Movie theaters boast eardrum-pumping surround sound. To compensate for the failure of your computer speakers to do a movie soundtrack justice, trick a symphony orchestra into coming to your apartment by telling them you are popular actor Alan Alda.
- Fellow moviegoers: Going to the theater is a shared experience. Instead of watching a movie alone, invite a large group of people, such as a professional football team or a club of history buffs who reenact the Korean Conflict.
- Snacks: You may believe it's possible to make the same buttered popcorn theaters serve, but it's not. Theater butter is specially made with the ashes of Emmy-nominated actor Ed Begley, Jr.
